Turn your own notes into a printable pub quiz with answers
Upload notes, slides or a PDF and get trivia questions with answers and explanations. Export to PDF on Plus, or play in your browser for free.
Why build your own sheet instead of downloading one
Most free sheets online are generic, and their answer keys rarely match the round you want to run. A free printable pub quiz with answers works better when the questions come from material you chose, such as a reading list, a hobby guide or a set of trivia notes. DeckOwl reads those files and writes the questions and answer key from them.
- Round themes taken from your own notes or reading
- Multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions
- Explanations you can read aloud when marking answers
- PDF or DOCX export on Plus, browser play on the free plan
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page, and the quiz is built from what it contains.
Answers with explanations
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions each come with a correct answer and a short explanation for the host to read out.
Printable on Plus
PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, so the sheet can go straight to the printer.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of a page with text.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the quiz.
Print or run it
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or run the quiz in your browser on the free plan.
Printing needs the Plus plan, since PDF and DOCX export are paid features. The free plan generates three quizzes a month and lets you run them in the browser, which works fine on a shared screen at the bar.
If you also run quizzes in a learning system, the Pro plan at $14.99/month adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free printable pub quiz with answers I can download?
DeckOwl does not host a library of ready-made sheets. You generate a quiz from your own material, and PDF export is included on the Plus plan rather than the free plan.
How many questions should a pub quiz round have?
Eight to twelve questions per round is a common pub quiz format and keeps most teams engaged. Start with the number your host usually uses and adjust after one test run.
What makes general knowledge trivia questions good for a pub quiz?
Good trivia has one clear correct answer and a concrete fact, and it gives teams something to discuss before they answer. Avoid questions where two answers are both defensible.
Can I check the answer key before quiz night?
Yes. Each question shows its correct answer and an explanation, so you can check the key before the quiz starts.
