A good Amsterdam pub quiz mixes canal history, museums and city landmarks so that both locals and visitors have a fair shot at each round.

  • Pick a theme for each round, such as canals, art or history, so the questions stay focused.
  • Mix easy and hard questions so the room has a chance to score.
  • Verify dates and names against a reliable source before you read them out.
  • Keep explanations handy so the host can respond quickly when teams ask why an answer is right.

Multiple-choice and true/false

Create the question formats that suit a pub round, including multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so the host can settle disputes at the bar and check facts before the night.

Export when you need it

PDF and DOCX export are on the Plus plan. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan for teachers who run quizzes in a learning system.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page with your Amsterdam facts or a city guide.

Choose your question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions and set the number you want for each round.

Review and export

Check each question and explanation, correct anything that has changed, then export on a paid plan if you need a printable copy.

Start with sources you already have, such as a city guide, a list of your own facts or notes from a walking tour. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text and photos of pages, then drafts questions from that material. Check each one before the night, since the explanations make it easy to fix any fact that has changed.
