Why generate your own pub quiz round

Generic printable sheets of pub quiz questions and answers often miss what your group has been reading, watching or arguing about. DeckOwl starts from material you already have, such as a trivia book chapter, a history slide deck or a page of notes, and writes questions from that text. Each one comes with an answer and a short explanation, so the host can verify it quickly.

Questions drawn from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes
Multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one set
A short explanation with each answer for quick host checks
Study in the browser on the free plan, with exports on paid plans

Questions from your own source

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. The questions come from that text, so you control the topics.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes the correct answer and a short reason, so the host can check facts quickly and answer challenges.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, text notes or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then set the round to suit a beginner or a harder crowd.

Review and run the round

Check the answers and explanations, remove anything ambiguous, then study the round or export it for your quiz night.

Because you choose the source, you also control difficulty and topic balance. Upload a chapter on world capitals for an easier round or a longer science article for a harder one, then pick multiple choice, true or false, or open questions. Review the output before quiz night, cut anything unclear, and keep the rest.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts run rounds of about six to ten questions so teams can keep pace. Adjust the count to suit how long your evening runs and how many rounds you plan.

How can I make trivia answers easier to remember for a quiz?

Review questions in short sessions spread over several days rather than cramming the night before. Spend extra time on the explanations for the questions you get wrong.

Can I get the questions as a PDF?

PDF and DOCX export are included with the Plus plan, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro.
