Turn your own history notes into pub quiz questions
Ready-made lists rarely match the period or places your quiz covers. Upload your material and get history questions written from it, with answers ready to read out.
Why build your own history round
Organizers who need pub quiz history questions usually want something that fits their own theme, such as a local history night or a decade-by-decade round. Generic lists rarely match that, so DeckOwl does not ship a question bank. It writes questions from the material you upload.
- Upload a chapter, slide deck or notes and generate questions tied to that content
- Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer for each round
- Read the explanation for every answer before the quiz night
- Export to PDF or DOCX on paid plans to print or share with your team
Works from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Three question formats
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions for each round. Every question includes an explanation you can read to the room.
Exports when you need them
Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and the Pro plan adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom platforms.
How it works
Upload your history material
Add the textbook chapter, lecture slides or notes your quiz should cover.
Pick the format and number
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer and how many questions you need.
Review and run the round
Check the answers and explanations, edit anything that needs changing, then read them out or export.
Start with the sources your audience already knows, like a unit from a textbook or a set of event summaries. Ask for a mix of formats so the round has quick true/false items alongside a few short answer questions that spark discussion at the table.

Frequently asked questions
How many history questions should a pub quiz round have?
Most rounds use about 8 to 12 questions, which keeps each round moving in under 15 minutes. Mix a few easy items with harder ones so the whole table can take part.
What makes a good pub quiz history question?
A good question has one clear answer that someone can recall or work out, such as a date, a person or a cause. Avoid questions where two answers are equally defensible.
Can I export the questions I generate?
Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan. The Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the Free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students can get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
