Why build your own music round

Most pub quiz hosts end up reusing the same tired lists, so a round built from your own material stands out. Upload a PDF, slides or notes on the albums, artists or genres you want, and DeckOwl writes pub quiz music questions with answers and explanations.

  • Ready-made lists are fine for a warm-up, but your own material gives a better round
  • Mix multiple-choice with true/false to keep the pace up
  • Check every explanation before you read it aloud to the table
  • Save the set and reuse it for a rematch with new rounds from fresh notes

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, slides or notes about the albums, artists or genres your table will face.

Answers with explanations

Each question comes with the correct answer and a short reason, so you can check it before quiz night.

Export when you need it

Paid plans export to PDF or DOCX for printing and sharing with your quizmaster team.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of your music notes.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want.

Review and run the round

Edit anything that looks off, then print or project the round for your pub quiz.

Writing from your own sources also keeps the difficulty honest. If your notes cover 1960s Motown or film scores, the questions stay on those topics instead of drifting into random trivia.

You can still study the round yourself first. Flashcards with spaced repetition and mixed quizzes help the answers stick before the night starts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good music trivia questions?

Pick a clear fact a person could know, such as a release year, a band member or a composer, and write one correct answer. Give three plausible wrong answers so the question tests knowledge rather than guessing.

How many questions make a good pub quiz music round?

Most rounds run 10 to 15 questions, mixing easy and hard so the table can score. Mixing multiple-choice with true/false keeps the pace steady.

Can I export the questions to Word or PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan?
