Writing a pub quiz takes longer than hosting one

Pub quiz nights depend on questions that someone has to write, check and key with answers, and that prep often takes longer than the quiz itself. A free online pub quiz with answers is most useful when the questions come from material you already trust, such as a general knowledge book, a course handout or your own list of facts.

Questions are generated from your own notes, so the topics match your round.
Each question includes the correct answer and an explanation for the answer sheet.
The free plan covers 3 generations per month, enough to test a few rounds.
Plus adds PDF and DOCX export for printing answer sheets, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good general knowledge trivia questions?

Pick one clear fact per question and make sure only one answer is correct. Avoid questions where the answer depends on a single obscure date or spelling, since those are hard to check on the night.

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Most rounds work well with 8 to 12 questions, which keeps the pace moving and gives teams time to discuss. Shorter rounds also make it easier to mix question types between rounds.

Can I export my pub quiz to print or share?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.

Is DeckOwl free to try?

Yes, the free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exports are not included on the free plan.
