Running a pub quiz from your own material

Hosting a quiz night means writing rounds that suit the crowd, and a UK pub quiz app is most useful when it builds those rounds from facts you trust. DeckOwl is not a ready-made trivia library; it creates questions from the files you upload, so you control the topics.

  • Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
  • Get multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions
  • Read an explanation for every answer before the quiz
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI or Moodle XML on Pro

Plus at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, and Pro at $14.99 per month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
