Writing multiple choice trivia from your own material

Trivia nights and review sessions run better when the questions come from material you already have. A multiple choice trivia question generator can read your notes, slides or a PDF and write four-option questions with the correct answer marked. You still decide which facts matter, so the quiz reflects what you actually need to know.

  • Four answer choices with one clearly correct option
  • Explanations that say why the right answer is right
  • Notes, slides or PDFs used as the source for every question
  • PDF and DOCX export on Plus, and QTI and Moodle XML export on Pro

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain notes or photos of pages and get multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions built from them.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong pick becomes a lesson instead of a guess.

Exports for games and classes

Plus exports to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom quiz platforms.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text notes or a photo of a page.

Pick the question type

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions to generate.

Review and study

Check each question and explanation, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.

Multiple choice works well for trivia because wrong options test whether you can tell close answers apart, not just whether a name looks familiar. Read each question and its explanation, and remove any item that depends on a fact your source does not support.

Frequently asked questions

How many answer choices should a trivia question have?

Four is the most common format and gives a fair chance of guessing right, which is why many quiz hosts use it. Three works well for quick rounds, but more than five rarely adds difficulty.

What makes a wrong answer choice believable?

Good distractors come from the same category as the right answer, such as other countries for a geography question or other dates in the same decade. Avoid joke options, since they give away the answer by being obviously wrong.

Can I export these questions to Moodle?

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

Can I try it before paying?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start. Exports are not part of the free plan.
