Why generate your own video game trivia

Planning a video game quiz night usually means hunting for questions that are fair, varied and not too easy. DeckOwl skips the search: upload a guide, a wiki export or your own notes on the games you want to cover, and the AI writes questions with answers you can check.

  • Pick the consoles, decades or franchises your group wants to cover
  • Mix easy opening questions with harder ones for later rounds
  • Use true/false questions for quick warm-ups between longer rounds
  • Read the explanations aloud when a player challenges an answer

Built from your sources

Questions come from the guides, notes or slides you upload, so the round covers the games your group actually plays.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, which helps you settle disputes at the table without digging through a wiki.

Mix of question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer so the round moves quickly and keeps players guessing.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of printed notes about the games you want to cover.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then set the rounds you need for the evening.

Review and run the round

Check the questions and explanations, then read them aloud or share them with your group.

Ready-made trivia sheets are easy to find, but they rarely match the games your group plays or the era you want to focus on. Generating questions from your own source keeps the difficulty and topics right. The free plan includes 3 generations a month with browser study, and Plus adds unlimited generations with PDF and DOCX export.
