Why build your own trivia quiz instead of printing one

Printable trivia sheets are easy to find, but a generic list seldom covers the consoles, franchises or developers you actually care about. DeckOwl creates a video game trivia quiz with answers from material you already have, such as a lecture slide on game history or your own list of franchise facts.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from a single upload
  • An explanation written for every answer
  • Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
  • Study in the browser on the free plan and export with a paid plan

Answers with explanations

Every correct answer includes a short reason, so you learn why it is right and not just which option to pick.

Mix of question types

How it works

Upload your source

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

Pick the question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the quiz.

Review and quiz yourself

Check the answers and explanations, remove anything off target, then study the quiz in your browser.

Each question can be multiple-choice, true/false or open-ended, and every answer includes a short explanation. That makes the quiz useful for learning the reasons behind each fact, not only for checking which option you guessed.

Review the generated questions before you study and delete any that do not fit your group or course. The quiz stays tied to your own source, so the facts you drill are the ones you need.

Frequently asked questions

Which video game facts are worth memorizing for trivia night?

Focus on release years, platform firsts, franchise origins, developer names and iconic characters, since these come up most often. Grouping facts by franchise or console makes them easier to recall than a single long list.

How do I study trivia answers without just memorizing letters?

Use open-answer questions so you have to recall the fact yourself, then read the explanation to connect it to the game's history. Repeat the questions you miss until you can answer them without the options.

Can I export the quiz as a printable file?

Yes, on a paid plan. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export for $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for $14.99 per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and you can start without a credit card.
