Writing a trivia slideshow without starting from a blank page

Building a trivia slideshow usually starts with the hard part: writing questions that have one clear answer and a fact worth remembering. DeckOwl takes your own material, such as a lecture PDF, a set of slides or typed notes, and drafts multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations. You review each one, keep the good ones, and copy them onto your slides.

Generate questions from the notes or slides your audience already knows
Mix multiple choice, true/false and open questions within one round
Read the built-in explanation aloud after each reveal
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus to print answer sheets or share the set

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, a set of slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. The questions come from what you provided, not from generic filler.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so you can read the answer aloud and tell the room why it is correct.

Three question types

How it works

Upload your source

Add the lecture PDF, slide deck, document or typed notes that your trivia round should cover.

Pick the question type and count

Select multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set that fits your round length.

Copy the best ones to your slides

Review each question and explanation, keep the strong ones, and place them on your slides in your usual presentation app.

DeckOwl does not build the slide layout or export a presentation file, so you still design the deck in your usual app. The questions and answers are the part it speeds up. The free plan lets you study generated sets in the browser, and the Plus plan adds PDF and DOCX export for printing or sharing.

Keep rounds short. Five to ten questions per round gives each player a fair chance to answer before the next slide appears.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a trivia slideshow round have?

Most rounds work well with five to ten questions, which gives each player time to answer before the next slide. Shorter rounds keep energy up when the audience is large.

What makes a good trivia question for a slideshow?

A good question has one clearly correct answer, a short prompt, and a fact the audience can check afterward. Avoid questions where two answers could be defended.

Is there a free plan I can try first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports are not included on the free plan.

Can I export the questions for printing or sharing?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export to PDF and DOCX, priced at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
