Why a custom set beats a generic list

Printable lists of pub quiz questions and answers are easy to find, but they rarely match the topics your crowd cares about or the material you actually want to test.

  • Questions drawn only from your notes or slides
  • Explanations you can read aloud when an answer is challenged
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides, plain notes or a photo of a page and get questions written from that text.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so the host can settle a challenged answer quickly.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for school systems.

How it works

Upload your source

Add the trivia book chapter, lecture slides or notes you want to quiz from.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Review and run the round

Check the answers and explanations, edit anything off, then read them out or export the set.

DeckOwl reads your own notes or slides and writes questions with explanations, so the round reflects the reading you assigned or the trivia facts you have already gathered. Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats cover most pub-night rounds.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts use around 10 questions per round, mixing easy and harder items so most teams have a fair chance to score.

How do I write good general knowledge trivia questions?

Ask one clear fact per question with a single correct answer, and avoid wording that gives the answer away. Use the explanation to confirm the answer can be verified.

Can I export the questions I generate?

PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
