Turn your song list into a pub quiz music round with AI
Pick your tracks, set the rules and let DeckOwl draft multiple-choice or short answer questions with answers ready to read out on the night.
What makes a music round work on the night
A good pub quiz music round rewards recognition more than deep trivia memory, so start with tracks most of the room will know and add a few tougher picks. Write each question so there is only one clear answer, such as the artist, the title or the release year, and avoid covers that cause arguments.
- Pick a mix of decades so every age group has a chance to answer.
- Ask for the artist, the title or the year, not all three at once.
- Play a short clip and allow a few seconds of silence before the reveal.
- Check album and release dates against a reliable source before you print.
Questions from your own list
Upload a document, slide deck or typed notes with your songs, artists and years, and get questions built from that material.
Multiple choice and short answer
Mix formats so the round has quick picks and a few harder names to recall, with a short explanation on each answer.
Export when you are ready
Download PDF or DOCX copies to print or share on Plus, or use QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export on Pro.
How it works
Choose songs and rules
Pick tracks across a few decades, decide whether teams name the artist, the title or the year, and note any songs to avoid.
Upload your list
Paste the titles into a text file or type them into notes, or upload a PDF or slide deck, then start a generation.
Check and print
Read each question, fix any wrong years or artist names, and export the round to PDF before the night.
The answer sheet is often the hardest part. Give each track a short note, like the album it appeared on or the year it charted, so the host can settle disputes quickly. Keep a list of alternate spellings for artist names to make marking faster.

How many songs should a pub quiz music round have?
