Why a custom list beats a printed one

Printed lists of pub quiz questions are written for nobody in particular, so the answers often miss the topics your team or class has actually covered. A quiz built from your own material keeps the round on target and gives you the answer key in the same step.

Pick a theme, such as science, geography or film, by uploading notes on it.
Check each explanation so the answer key is clear before the night of the quiz.
Mix question types to keep rounds varied and fair.
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good general knowledge trivia questions?

Ask one fact per question with a single clear answer, and avoid trick wording. Multiple-choice options should be similar in length so the right one does not stand out.

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

There is no fixed rule, but many hosts keep each round short enough to finish in about ten minutes. Adjust the count for your group size and how much time you have.

Can I export my questions to Moodle?

Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. The Plus plan, at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included. No credit card is needed to start.
