Why a custom video games quiz beats a ready-made one

A ready-made set rarely matches what your group actually covered, so a video games quiz built from your own lesson notes or reading list is usually more useful. Paste notes, upload slides or drop in a PDF handout, and DeckOwl writes the questions with explanations.

Pick topics you actually covered, such as genres, game mechanics or game history.
Mix question types so the quiz tests recognition and recall.
Check each explanation before sharing the quiz with a class or group.
Start free in the browser with no credit card, then export if you need a file for class.
