Why a custom quiz beats a generic one

If you want a video game quiz that tests what you actually know, the fastest route is to build it from your own material. A list of trivia written for everyone rarely matches the lecture notes, guide chapter or game history unit you are studying.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, plain text file or a photo of a page. The quiz covers what is in your source, not generic trivia.

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, so you can mix recall checks with questions that need a full sentence.

Explanations on every item

Each answer comes with a short reason, so a wrong pick teaches you something instead of just marking it wrong.

How it works

Upload your source

Add the file or paste your notes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false, short answer or a mix, then generate the quiz.

Take the quiz and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and go back over the items you missed.

Generic fun quizzes are built for scoring and sharing. A quiz made from your own notes is built for remembering, so each question points back to a specific fact, mechanic or date in your source.

DeckOwl is free to start with 3 generations a month, and Plus at $39 a year or $7.99 a month removes the limit. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good video game trivia question for studying?

A strong question asks about one fact that can be checked, such as who published a game, what a genre means, or when a mechanic first appeared. Avoid questions where two answers could both be right.

How many questions should a game history quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions per topic is a practical range for a single study session. Start with fewer if the source is dense, then retake the quiz on the items you missed.

Can I export my quiz?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Does DeckOwl need a credit card to start?

No. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study, and you can upgrade later if you need unlimited generations.
