Writing pub quiz rounds from your own material

Upload your own trivia notes instead of relying on memory.
Mix multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep rounds moving.
Read each explanation aloud when an answer is contested.
Export to Word or PDF on a paid plan so the round is easy to print.

Works from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so a handwritten or printed trivia sheet can become questions too.

Three question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer questions. Each one includes an explanation, so the host can read out the reason behind the answer.

Export when you are ready

Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom quiz platforms.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the file or photo that holds your trivia facts, such as a list of local history points or a general knowledge sheet.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false, or open questions. Mix them if you want a varied round.

Review and run the round

Check the answers and explanations, remove anything unclear, then print or share the round for your next quiz night.

A faster method is to start with the facts you already have. Paste in your notes, a slide deck, or a photo of a trivia list, then let the tool draft questions with one correct answer and a short explanation. You still read every question before the night, but you edit instead of starting from a blank page.

Keep rounds balanced. Mix a few easy questions with harder ones, and avoid answers that depend on a single obscure detail. Clear explanations help when a team disputes an answer.
