What a trivia maker does with your material
A trivia maker is a tool that generates quiz questions and answers on a chosen topic, so you do not have to write each one yourself. Many ready-made question sets are built from general knowledge, while DeckOwl works from the material you supply, so the questions match what you actually need to know.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer trivia from your own files
- Explanations that show why each answer is correct
- Unlimited generations on Plus, with PDF and DOCX export
- QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export on Pro for teachers and course builders
Questions from your material
Trivia is built from the files you upload, so the questions cover what your class, club or team actually needs to know.
Three question types
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, and mix them within one set.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so players and students learn why the correct answer is right.
