Writing a pub quiz round without starting from scratch

Hosting a Dunedin pub quiz usually means writing a fresh set of questions every week, and the hardest part is finding facts that are accurate, interesting and not too obscure. DeckOwl skips the search: upload your own notes, slides or a PDF on local history, sport or general knowledge, and it drafts multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations you can review before the night.

Start with easy opening questions and save the trickiest ones for later rounds.
Write each question so only one answer is clearly correct.
Check the explanation before the night, especially for dates and names.
Mix question styles so the round does not feel like one long true/false list.
