Get better at pub quizzes with AI practice built from your own notes
DeckOwl turns your notes, slides or trivia lists into multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation so you learn why an answer is right.
What actually helps on quiz night
Getting better at pub quizzes usually comes down to knowing which topics come up again and again, not memorizing random facts. Most teams lose points in the same few categories, such as capitals, science basics and film or music trivia, so focused practice pays off more than reading general lists.
- Track the categories your team loses most often and study those first.
- Practice with short answer questions so you practice recalling facts, not just recognizing them.
- Read the explanation for every miss, even when you guessed right.
- Retake the same quiz after a few days to check what you actually remember.
Practice on your own topics
Upload the subjects your team keeps missing, like geography, science or music, and get questions written from that material.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong guess becomes a fact you remember for the next round.
Spaced repetition for recall
Flashcards from the same material come back at increasing intervals, which helps facts stick before quiz night.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Pick the categories your pub quiz usually covers.
Generate a quiz
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then start a practice round in the browser.
Review and repeat
Go through the explanations for questions you missed, then retake the quiz until the answers come easily.
Short, frequent practice beats one long cram session. Ten minutes a day with questions you got wrong yesterday builds recall faster than a single weekend of reading, and explanations help you understand why an answer is right so you can reason through questions you have not seen before.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I do before a pub quiz?
Around 20 to 30 questions a day across your weakest categories works well for most people. Repeating the ones you missed matters more than the total number.
Which pub quiz topics should I study first?
Start with the categories your team gets wrong most often, then cover broad areas like geography, history and science. Common pub quiz rounds often repeat themes, so a little practice in each goes a long way.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX and Anki, plus spaced repetition, are part of the paid Plus plan.
