Three question formats

Choose multiple choice, true or false or open questions for each round so the quiz fits your crowd.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short reason, so you can settle disputes quickly when a guest challenges an answer.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX files, plain notes or photos of pages, and the questions come from what you provide.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, set of notes or photos of pages.

Pick the question types

Select multiple choice, true or false or open questions and how many you want.

Review and export

Edit the list, then export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan.

A workable approach is to start from material you already have. Upload the handout, the slides or the notes on a topic your team enjoys, and review the generated questions before the event. Check each answer against the source, since you know your crowd and your rules better than any generator does.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Most hosts run rounds of about eight to ten questions, which keeps each round short enough that guests stay engaged. Adjust the number if your session has several rounds with different themes.

How do I write trivia questions that are hard but fair?

Aim for one clearly correct answer that a well-prepared guest could reasonably know, and avoid questions that depend on a single obscure source. Test each question on a colleague before the night.

Can I export the questions for printing or a learning platform?

PDF and DOCX export come with the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

How many questions can I generate for free?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month. Plus removes that limit and adds spaced repetition for the questions you want guests to remember.
