Building a round from what you already know

Hosting a quiz at the pub often means a scramble for questions at the last minute. The questions for your pub quiz night can come straight from material you already have, such as notes from a history, geography or science course.

  • Upload your own notes, slides or PDFs as the source for each category.
  • Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions across the night.
  • Read each explanation before the night to catch unclear or disputed answers.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus for printing, or QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.

Export for the night

Good trivia questions have one clearly correct answer and enough context that a player can reason toward it. Mixing easy and harder items keeps tables competing, and a quick review of each explanation before the night helps you avoid arguments over ambiguous answers.
