Preparing a round before Thursday

Running a Glasgow pub quiz on Thursday usually means writing the questions the afternoon of, and that is where most hosts lose time. DeckOwl takes your own trivia notes, slides or a PDF of facts and drafts multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.

  • Start from your own notes, so the round matches the subjects you plan to cover.
  • Mix multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep rounds moving quickly.
  • Read each explanation before the night so you can rule on close answers confidently.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus when you need a printed answer sheet.

DeckOwl does not list venues, run the night or host teams, so it will not tell you where a Thursday quiz is on. What it does is help you build the round itself: pick a subject, generate a set, check the answers and explanations, then trim anything that is too obscure for your room.
