Why a custom quiz works better than a generic trivia app

A ready-made trivia game is not what DeckOwl provides, but a video game quiz app built from your own material is. Game design courses, level design notes and game history readings all cover terms and rules that a generic quiz will not test.

  • Questions drawn from your own course notes or slides
  • Explanations that show the reasoning behind each correct answer
  • Multiple choice, true/false and open question formats
  • Free plan to start, with exports available on paid plans
Example video game design quiz questions
What is the game loop?The repeating cycle of reading input, updating game state and rendering each frame, which keeps the game running in real time.
True or false: a hitbox is the exact visual outline of a sprite.False. A hitbox is a simplified shape used for collision detection, which is cheaper to check than the full sprite.
What does FPS measure in a game?Frames per second, the number of images rendered each second. Higher values usually look smoother, though it is not the only factor.
What is a soft lock?A state where the game keeps running but the player cannot progress, so they often have to reload a save. It differs from a crash.
True or false: tilemaps store level layouts as a grid of tile references.True. Each cell points to a tile image, which makes levels compact to store and easy to edit.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text notes or a photo of a page from your course.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and set how many you want.

Take the quiz and review

Answer the questions, then read the explanation for each one to see why it was right or wrong.

Generating the quiz from the text you were assigned keeps the questions on topic. Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer tells you which rule or term to review next.

When you want to test yourself again later, retake the same set or create a new one from the next chapter.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a video game design quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions covers most lectures or chapters well. Longer notes can be split into several shorter quizzes, which are easier to finish in one sitting.

How do I study game mechanics like pacing and collision?

Explain each mechanic in your own words, then answer the quiz without looking at your notes. Read the explanation for every wrong answer, since it usually points to the rule you mixed up.

Can I export the quiz?

Exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Is there a free plan?

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