Running your own Edinburgh Tuesday pub quiz

Hosting an Edinburgh Tuesday pub quiz usually means writing fresh rounds every week, and that is where most of the time goes. DeckOwl does not list venues or quiz nights, so it cannot tell you where to play. It can help with the questions, which is the part that takes the longest to write.

  • Upload notes, slides or photos and get questions drawn from that material.
  • Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions within one round.
  • Read the explanation before the night so you can rule on close answers.
  • Export a printable answer sheet on Plus, or the platform file on Pro.
Example general knowledge trivia questions for a pub quiz
What river runs through Edinburgh and reaches the sea at Leith?The Water of Leith. It is the city's main river, running from the Pentland Hills down to the port of Leith.
What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. Sydney is the largest city, but Canberra was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne.
Who wrote the novel Frankenstein?Mary Shelley. She published it in 1818, and it is often called one of the first science fiction novels.
What gas makes up roughly 78% of Earth's atmosphere?Nitrogen. Oxygen is second at about 21%, so nitrogen is the largest share by far.
Which Scottish poet wrote the narrative poem Tam o' Shanter?Robert Burns. Published in 1790, it is one of his best-known works and is set near Ayr.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts use rounds of about 8 to 10 questions, which keeps the pace steady and gives teams a fair chance to finish. Adjust the count to suit how long your evening runs.

What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?

A good question has one clear answer that most people can check, and it is phrased so teams do not argue over wording. Avoid questions where the answer depends on the year or on the source you used.

Does DeckOwl tell me which Edinburgh pubs host a Tuesday quiz?

No. DeckOwl creates quiz questions and explanations from your own material and does not list venues or events.

Can I print my pub quiz questions?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export PDF and DOCX files for printing. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
