  • Questions are drawn from your own uploaded material
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month for trying a round
  • Exports to PDF and DOCX come with Plus, and QTI and Moodle XML with Pro

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.

Generate the round

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer and generate questions from the topics you have uploaded.

Check and run it

Review the explanations, edit anything that is unclear, then read the round out on Monday.

Start with a document on the topics you want, such as Scottish history, science or music, and generate a mix of question types. Each question comes with an explanation, which helps when a team challenges an answer or when you want to explain it to the room.

DeckOwl does not supply venue listings or ready-made question packs, so the questions come from your own material. Review every question before the round, since the tool drafts them from what you provide and you are responsible for the final set.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Keep each round short enough to answer between drinks and vary the difficulty so that different teams have a chance. You can adjust the length of each generated set to suit your crowd.

How do I write good general knowledge trivia questions?

Use one clear fact per question and avoid wording that allows more than one correct answer. For multiple-choice, make the wrong options plausible but clearly incorrect.

Can I export the questions for my quiz night?

Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included with Pro.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports.
