How the pub quiz question maker works

A pub quiz Friday round lives or dies on its questions, and writing fair ones from scratch takes longer than most hosts have. Printable sheets online are generic, so they rarely match the topics your crowd enjoys.

Generate questions from your own trivia notes or slides
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer formats
Read explanations to settle close calls during the round
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus if you want printed answer sheets

Example general knowledge trivia questions for pub quiz
