Turn your own photos and notes into a pub quiz round
Ready-made picture rounds rarely match your crowd. DeckOwl writes trivia questions and answers from material you upload, so the round fits your night.
Building a picture round from your own material
Good pub quiz images usually start with material you already have, such as a slide deck of landmarks, a set of logos or a stack of printed trivia pages. Ready-made printable sets exist, but they are written for everyone, so answers may not match the topics your regulars know.
- Write each picture question so the answer is one clear, unambiguous name or term.
- Mix easy and hard questions so every table has a chance to score.
- Read each explanation before the night, so the host can answer follow-up questions.
- Keep a backup set in case a photo or file does not display on the night.
Questions from your own pages
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files or plain notes. Photos of printed trivia pages are read with text recognition, so existing material works too.
Multiple choice, true/false or open
Pick the question style that suits your round, and each question comes with an explanation the host can read out after the answer.
Flashcards for the teams who want practice
Turn the same material into flashcards with spaced repetition, so players can memorize answers before quiz night.
How it works
Upload your material
Add slides, a PDF, a DOCX file, notes or photos of trivia pages.
Choose the question type
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer for each part of the round.
Export for quiz night
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
DeckOwl writes the questions and answers from your uploads, so each round reflects the subjects you choose. Pair the questions with your own pictures, then check each one by reading it aloud to someone who has not seen the source.
Keep the round short enough that teams stay engaged, and cut any questions that repeat a topic.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a pub quiz round have?
Many hosts keep each round short so teams stay engaged. Generate a set, then cut any questions that repeat a topic.
How do I write picture round questions that work?
Describe the image clearly in the question text, such as the landmark or logo being shown, and make sure the answer is a single unambiguous name. Test each one by reading it aloud to someone who has not seen the source.
Can I export the quiz for printing?
PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month. The free plan includes three generations per month with study in the browser.
Does DeckOwl create the pictures themselves?
