Running a general knowledge round on Thursday in Manchester

Writing a Manchester Thursday pub quiz round every week usually means finding fresh general knowledge questions that are not already floating around the internet. DeckOwl works from notes, slides or PDFs you already have and turns them into multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations, so each round starts from material you choose.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
  • Explanations for every answer so you can check disputed facts
  • Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with study in the browser
Example general knowledge trivia questions

How many players from one side are on a cricket field at once?Eleven. A fielding side has eleven players on the field, while two batters are on the pitch.

Pick the question type that suits your round, from quick true/false starters to open questions for the final rounds.

Explanations for every answer

Each answer comes with a short reason, so you can check a disputed fact before the host reads it out.

Export on paid plans

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro, to print or share your question sheet.

How it works

Review, study or export

If you were hoping to download a ready-made printable round, DeckOwl does not supply one, but it can build a custom set from any fact sheet or study pack you upload. Review the questions well before the night, then export to PDF or DOCX on a Plus plan to print copies.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a general knowledge pub quiz round have?

Most hosts plan rounds short enough to finish comfortably in one sitting, so 10 to 15 questions is a common size to aim for. Adjust the count to suit how long your quiz night runs.

How can I make general knowledge questions easier to remember?

Group questions by theme, such as geography or science, so each round has a clear focus. Reading the explanation after each answer helps you recall the fact later in the week.

Does DeckOwl run the quiz on the night?

No, DeckOwl creates and helps you study questions, but it does not host live quiz nights or venue events. You still run the round and keep the scores yourself.

Which exports are included in the paid plans?

Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro ($14.99/month) adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
