Printable pub quiz night sheets are easy to find, but they rarely match your crowd or the topics your host wants to cover. Upload a PDF, slides or notes and DeckOwl writes questions from that material, each with an answer and a short explanation.

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions for each round.

Review and run the round

Edit anything too hard or too obscure for your room, then present or print the set.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many rounds run between eight and twelve questions, which keeps the pace steady. Shorter rounds suit a busy bar, while longer ones work better for a seated crowd.

What kinds of trivia work best for a mixed crowd?

Questions with one clear answer, such as a famous landmark, a common chemical element or a well-known film, tend to land well. Avoid niche fandom questions unless you know your teams share that interest.

Can I export my pub quiz questions?

Exports are a paid feature, with PDF and DOCX available on Plus at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan lets you study generated questions in the browser.
