Writing a Thursday pub quiz round from your own material

Running a Thursday pub quiz in Liverpool usually means writing a fresh set of rounds every week, and most of the effort goes into finding questions that are fair and correct. DeckOwl turns trivia material you already have, such as notes, slides or a PDF of facts, into multiple-choice and true/false questions with explanations so you can verify each answer.

  • Mix multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep the pace moving
  • Check the explanation under each answer before you read it out
  • Print a PDF or DOCX copy for the bar, or study the round in your browser
