Turn your own material into geography questions for quiz night

Ready-made lists are fine for a warm-up, but questions drawn from the sources you trust are easier to defend when a table challenges an answer.

How to build a geography round from your own sources

Hosting a round of pub quiz geography questions goes better when every answer traces back to a source you trust. A chapter on world rivers or a set of slides on capitals gives you facts you can check before the night, rather than a list you found online and hope is right.

  • Upload your own atlas chapter, slides or notes instead of hunting for printable lists.
  • Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer to keep the round varied.
  • Read the explanation on each card before you ask the question aloud.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
Example pub quiz geography questions with answers

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra, which was chosen as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne.
What is the smallest country in the world by area?Vatican City, an enclave within Rome, so its small size is easy to verify on a map.

How it works

Upload your source

Add the atlas chapter, lecture slides or notes the round should cover.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Review and export

Check each answer and explanation, then export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

Good geography questions have one clear answer, such as a capital, a river, a border or a time zone, and no second answer a sharp player could argue for. Use short answer for quick recall, and multiple choice when you want the table to weigh options together.

Review the output before the quiz. Remove anything ambiguous, adjust the difficulty for your crowd, and keep the explanations handy for the moment someone asks why.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write a good geography question for a pub quiz?

Aim for one fact with one correct answer, such as a capital city, a river's length or a country's borders. Avoid wording that allows two defensible answers, because that is where arguments start.

Which geography topics work best for a pub round?

Capitals, rivers, mountain ranges, flags and time zones are reliable choices because most players recognize them and the answers can be checked quickly. Mix easy and harder items so the round builds.

Can I export my geography questions?

Yes, but exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export is included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports, and you do not need a credit card to start.
