Questions from your sources

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain text or photos of pages, and get questions drawn from that material.

Three question types

Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions so each round has variety for the table.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar with a reason.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes covering the topics you want in the round.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want.

Review and run the quiz

Check the questions and explanations, then read them out or study them in the browser.

Good general knowledge rounds mix history, geography, science and culture, so the source material you feed in matters. Notes from a book, a revision pack or a set of slides give you questions on topics you already chose.

Because every question includes an explanation, you can check each answer before the night and explain it confidently when a team challenges it.
