Why build trivia from your own material

Game night groups often want questions that fit their own interests, such as a unit from class, a company training deck or a book club reading list. A Wheel of Fortune trivia maker works best when the questions come from source material you already have, because you control the difficulty and the facts.

  • Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats
  • Every question includes an explanation for the host
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month for trying it out

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text or photos of pages. The questions come from what you actually provide.

Three question formats

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Each question includes an explanation you can read aloud when the answer is revealed.

Export for your game

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the photos.

Generate your questions

Pick a question format and generate a set based on the material you uploaded.

Review and run the round

Check the answers and explanations, then export the set or study it in the browser.

Start by uploading the notes, slides or PDF you want to use. DeckOwl generates questions with answers and explanations, so the host can settle disputes quickly. Short answer questions suit a spoken round, while multiple choice questions work well on printed cards.

Review each question before the game. Remove anything too obscure, rewrite awkward wording and check the explanation matches the source. Editing a short set takes far less time than writing trivia from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good trivia questions for a wheel-style game?

Keep each question to one clear fact with a single correct answer. Mix short answer questions with multiple choice so players of different experience levels can compete.

What makes a trivia question fair for a group?

A fair question has an answer most players could reason toward, not a detail only one person would know. Check that the explanation confirms the answer in one or two sentences.

Can I export the questions I generate?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
