Writing pub quiz questions takes longer than it looks

A pub quiz lives or dies on its questions, and writing a fresh general knowledge round every week takes longer than most hosts expect. DeckOwl cannot invent team names, but it can read the trivia notes or slides you already have and draft questions with answers and explanations.

Mix question types so the round does not feel like one long exam.
Check each answer against your source before quiz night.
Keep explanations short so the host can read them aloud quickly.
Reuse the same material for a rematch with different questions.

Example general knowledge trivia questions for a pub quiz
