Questions from your own material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page and get questions drawn from that content.
Multiple-choice and true/false
Pick the question style that fits your round, with explanations you can read out when answers are reviewed.
Open questions for tiebreakers
Short-answer prompts work well for tiebreakers and for rounds that need a written answer.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
Choose the question type
Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions for each round.
Run the round
Read the questions aloud and use the explanations to settle disputes at the table.
A printable ready-made quiz can work for one night, but a round built from your own notes or favorite topics is easier to tailor to your crowd. The free plan includes 3 generations a month, and PDF or DOCX export is part of the paid plans.
