Picking a name, then writing the questions

Choosing fun pub quiz names for teachers is the easy part, since a clever title sets the tone for staff trivia night. The harder job is writing rounds that are fair, varied and matched to what your colleagues actually know.

  • Name ideas are a starting point; the questions are what make the night work.
  • Mix easy opening questions with harder ones so every table gets a chance.
  • Check each explanation before the quiz so answers can be defended on the spot.
  • Keep a short general knowledge round separate from subject-specific rounds.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain notes or photos of pages and get questions based on what you actually uploaded.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text notes or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set you can review before the quiz night.

Run the round

Edit anything that does not suit your crowd, then use the questions as they are or export them on a paid plan.

Start with a name that suits your staff room, such as a pun on a school subject or a nod to a shared in-joke. Then build the questions from your own notes or slides, so general knowledge rounds reflect the topics you already cover.

DeckOwl reads your uploads and drafts multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. You review and edit the set, so the quizmaster stays in control of difficulty and tone.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good general knowledge trivia questions?

Aim for one clear fact per question with a single correct answer. Avoid trick wording, and pair each answer with a one-sentence explanation so people can see why it is right.

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Most rounds work well with about 8 to 10 questions, so teams can answer them without the round dragging. Shorter rounds keep energy up between drinks and conversation.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.

Can I export the questions?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
