Frequently asked questions

How should I study general knowledge for a pub quiz?

Short sessions across several topics, such as UK geography, history, TV and sport, work better than memorising one list. Revisit the questions you get wrong until the answers come easily.

Which UK topics come up most often in pub quizzes?

Hosts often draw from UK geography, British history, famous landmarks, television and sport. Making your own question set from the topics your team finds hardest is a good way to cover them.

Can I export my questions for a printed quiz?

PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser without adding a card.
