Why generate your own pub quiz questions

A printable sheet of ready-made trivia is handy until your team has already seen every answer. DeckOwl does not keep a library of ready-made questions, but it turns your own material into free pub quiz questions and answers on general knowledge, in multiple-choice, true/false or open formats, each with an explanation.

Questions drawn from your own notes, not a generic list
Multiple choice, true/false and open answer formats
Explanations that help you judge close calls during the round
Set size you control, so rounds stay the length you want

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page and get questions that match what you want your team to know.

Answers with explanations

Each question comes with the correct answer and a short explanation, so the quiz master can settle arguments at the bar.

Study before quiz night

Flashcards with spaced repetition help your team remember facts between rounds, and the free plan lets you study in the browser.

How it works

Upload your source

Add slides, a chapter or a list of facts you want to cover.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions for your round.

Review and run the round

Check the answers and explanations, then use the set on quiz night.

Start with what you already have: lecture slides from a history course, a chapter on world geography, or a list of facts your team keeps arguing about. The generator writes questions from that text, so each round covers the topics you actually care about.

The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF and DOCX come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports come with Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a general knowledge quiz round have?

Many pub quiz rounds run about 10 to 15 questions, so a set of 30 to 40 gives you enough material for several rounds without repeats.

What is the best way to study general knowledge trivia?

Mix categories instead of drilling one topic, and review missed questions after a day or two so the answers stick. Reading the explanation matters as much as knowing the answer.
