Custom pub quiz questions instead of generic printables

Most printable sheets of pub quiz questions are generic, so they rarely match the topics your crowd or class actually covers. DeckOwl takes your own material, whether that is a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page, and writes questions from it instead. You get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation so the host can settle any argument quickly.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
  • Explanations for every answer, so hosts can check disputes fast
  • Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes and photos of pages
  • Free plan to try it with 3 generations per month and no credit card needed
