  • Mix question types so the round does not feel like a single long quiz.

Questions from your material

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

Export to PDF

How it works

Upload your source

Add the trivia notes, article, slide deck or photos of a fact sheet you already have. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set the categories you want, such as history, science or film.

Print the round

Review the questions and answers, then export a PDF with the answer key on a separate page for the host.

DeckOwl reads your source material and writes questions with one correct answer each, plus a short explanation. You can mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in the same round, then export the set as a PDF with an answer key.

Before printing, check each answer against a reliable reference. Trivia answers are only as good as their sources, and a quick check prevents an argument at the bar.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Most rounds are short enough to finish in one sitting, and many hosts group questions into themed rounds of similar length. Choose a size that fits your session and keep the answer key with the host.

How do I write trivia questions with answers nobody can argue with?

Ask about one clear fact with a single correct answer, and avoid wording that depends on a date or a definition that changes. Check each answer against a reliable source before printing.

Can I export the quiz as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included with the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.

Does it work from my own notes and photos?

Yes, you can upload PDFs, DOCX files, PowerPoint slides, plain text notes and images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a snapped fact sheet can become a quiz.
