Turn trivia notes into pub quiz questions in minutes
DeckOwl doesn't offer a downloadable pub quiz pack, but it builds a custom quiz from your own material that you can study in your browser.
Why a custom quiz beats a generic download
If you're hunting for a free pub quiz app, you probably want questions that match your crowd and your topics. A generic question pack rarely does that, and a custom round built from material you already trust takes less planning.
- Questions drawn from your own notes, not a shared pack
- Explanations for every answer to settle disputes quickly
- Multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one quiz
- Free plan to start, with no credit card required
Multiple choice, true/false, open questions
Upload notes, slides or a PDF and get a mix of question types, each with an explanation for the answer.
Works from your own material
Write your round on any topic you have notes for, from a sports history lecture to a list of capital cities you collected.
Export when you need it
Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX so you can print your round, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Add your trivia source
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, then generate your quiz.
Run the round
Study the quiz in the browser, check the explanations, and export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.
DeckOwl reads your notes and writes questions with a correct answer and a short explanation, so you can check each one before the round. Each explanation also helps the hosts and players who want to know why an answer is right.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus and Pro unlock unlimited generations and exports.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Keep each question to one clear answer, check every fact against a reliable source, and mix easy and difficult items. Avoid questions where two answers could both be correct.
