Turn your trivia notes into pub quiz dingbats with answers
Ready-made printable sheets rarely match what your group knows. Upload your own facts and get questions, answers and explanations you can check before quiz night.
Turning your trivia notes into a dingbat round
Most ready-made pub quiz dingbats with answers online are generic, and their topics rarely match what your group enjoys. DeckOwl takes a different route: it writes questions and answers from the trivia material you supply, so the round reflects your own facts.
- Write clues that are easy to picture, such as one word placed under another.
- Check each answer against a reliable source before the round starts.
- Mix easy and hard dingbats so every team has a chance to score.
- Keep the answer key separate from the question sheet until the round ends.

DeckOwl does not draw the picture puzzles themselves. It produces multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations, and you can use the wording to write your own dingbat clues on paper or a slide. The free plan gives three generations a month and browser study. Exporting to PDF or DOCX is a paid feature on Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Before quiz night, read through each generated answer and its explanation, then keep only the items that fit your crowd's level. Reviewing them yourself is what makes the answer key trustworthy.

Frequently asked questions
How do dingbats work as a pub quiz round?
Each dingbat is a picture or word arrangement that hides a common phrase, compound word or saying. Players solve them by reading the positions and letters, and the round usually ends with an answer key for checking.
How can I write clear dingbat clues for trivia night?
Start with familiar compound words and phrases, then arrange the words so the placement gives the clue. Test each one on a friend first to make sure the answer is unambiguous.
Can I print the questions for free?
The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included. PDF and DOCX export are available on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
