Create your pub quiz joker round from your own trivia notes
A joker round lets one team double its points on a single question. Upload your trivia notes and get questions with answers and explanations you can check before quiz night.
Why build your own joker round
A pub quiz joker round works best when the question matches what your regulars actually know, and a generic list rarely does. Start with the topics you already cover, such as history, geography, or music, and let the generator write questions from those notes.
- Choose one question per round and give it double points, announced before the round starts.
- Mix difficulty so the joker question feels risky but fair.
- Read each explanation aloud as the answer is revealed to settle close calls quickly.
- Keep a backup set of questions in case a team has already seen one.
Works from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides, plain notes, or a photo of a page. The questions come from your own facts, so you control the difficulty.
Answers with explanations
Each question includes the correct answer and a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar without looking things up.
Multiple formats
Get multiple choice, true or false, or short answer questions. Mix them for a joker round or keep one format for the whole round.
How it works
Upload your trivia notes
Add a file or photo of your question list, fact sheet, or research notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate and pick your joker question
Review the generated questions, keep the ones that fit your crowd, and choose the one that will be worth double points.
Export for quiz night
Export to PDF or DOCX on a Plus plan. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML if you run quizzes in a learning platform.
The best joker questions are hard enough to be worth the risk but clear enough that a team can reason to an answer. Check each explanation before the night, since a wrong answer on a double-points question is the one thing players will argue about.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser, but exporting requires a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions
How hard should a joker round question be?
Aim for something most teams could reason toward but few would know instantly. A question with a clear logic path, like working out a date from a known event, gives people a fair chance.
What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?
A good question has one unambiguous answer that people can recognize when they hear it. Avoid questions where the answer depends on wording, such as the exact year a country gained independence versus when it was recognized.
Can I export the questions for my quiz night?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
