Why build your own video game quiz

Ready-made trivia covers the famous titles well, but it rarely matches the consoles, genres or franchises your class or group is actually studying. A video game quiz built from your own notes fills that gap.

  • Questions drawn from your own material rather than generic trivia
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats
  • Explanations that show the reasoning behind each answer
  • Flashcards and mind maps from the same notes
Example video game quiz questions with answers
Which company published the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES?Nintendo. It released the game as a launch-era title for its own console, which made it central to the NES library.
In Tetris, what are the falling pieces called?Tetrominoes. Each one is made of four square blocks joined together, and there are seven distinct shapes.
True or false: Pac-Man was originally released in Japan under the name Puck Man.True. The name was changed for Western releases, a change often attributed to concern that the name could be defaced on arcade cabinets.
What was the original working name of the character who became Mario?Jumpman. The character was renamed Mario later, and the name is often linked to Mario Segale, a Nintendo of America warehouse landlord.
What does RPG stand for as a video game genre?Role-playing game. Players control characters who grow through stats, equipment and story choices.

Built from your material

Questions come from the games, franchises or history in your own PDF, slides or notes, not a generic list.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something instead of just marking you down.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you practice right away. Paid plans add exports for Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your page. Images are read with text recognition.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions and generate your quiz.

Practice and review

Answer, read the explanations, and go back to the questions you missed.

Upload the reading, lecture slides or your own list of games, and DeckOwl writes questions that test the details that matter, such as release years, developers, mechanics and key characters. Explanations show why each answer is correct.

Once the quiz works, you can turn the same material into flashcards with spaced repetition, or create a mind map to see how genres and series connect.
