Writing a Los Angeles pub quiz from your own material

Running a Los Angeles pub quiz night takes more prep than most hosts expect, because every round needs questions that are accurate, fair and fun to answer. DeckOwl does not list bars, venues or events, and it does not ship ready-made question packs. What it does is read the material you give it, such as your own trivia notes, a PDF of city history or slides from a previous quiz, and turn that into questions.

Write rounds around one theme, such as LA landmarks, film history or local food.
Mix easy opening questions with harder ones so teams of different levels stay in the game.
Check every answer against a reliable source before the night, since a wrong answer costs trust.
Keep a short explanation ready for each question so the host can explain the result quickly.

Example Los Angeles trivia questions for a pub quiz

What did the Hollywood Sign originally say when it was built in 1923?HOLLYWOODLAND. The last four letters were removed in 1949, so the sign has read HOLLYWOOD since then.

In what year did the Griffith Observatory open to the public?1935. It was built with funds from the Griffith J. Griffith bequest and is a popular landmark on Mount Hollywood.

Which year did Dodger Stadium open?1962. It was the team's home after the Dodgers moved west from Brooklyn, and it has hosted World Series games.

Which Los Angeles roadway is often cited as the first freeway in the western United States?The Arroyo Seco Parkway, which opened in 1940 and linked downtown Los Angeles with Pasadena.

In what year was the Los Angeles pueblo founded?1781. The settlement near today's Olvera Street was founded by Spanish colonists, which is why it is still the city's oldest site.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

How do I write good multiple-choice trivia questions?

Keep exactly one clearly correct answer and make the wrong options plausible, similar in length and style. Avoid giveaway wording like always or never.

Can I export my quiz to share with a team?

PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export require the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
