Why build your own pub quiz podcast round

Running a pub quiz podcast night works best when the questions come from episodes your crowd has actually heard. Paste the transcript or show notes into DeckOwl and it writes questions tied to that material, each with a short explanation you can point to if someone disputes an answer.

Paste a transcript or show notes as plain text
Check names, dates and figures against the episode
Mix easy and hard questions so the room stays engaged
Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan for printing

Example general knowledge trivia questions

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. Sydney is the largest city, but Canberra was chosen as a compromise capital between Sydney and Melbourne.

Which gas makes up most of Earth's atmosphere?Nitrogen, at about 78 percent. Oxygen is second at about 21 percent, so nitrogen is the more common answer.

Who wrote the novel 'Frankenstein'?Mary Shelley, published in 1818. She was 20 when it first appeared, which surprises many quiz teams.

Which river is generally cited as the longest in Africa?The Nile, traditionally measured at about 6,650 km. Measurements vary, so check the source your quiz relies on.

Which element has the chemical symbol Na?Sodium. The symbol comes from its Latin name, natrium, which is why it does not match the English word.

Questions from your material

Upload a transcript, slides or notes as PDF, DOCX or plain text, and get questions drawn from what you provided.

Three question types

Ready for quiz night

Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan to print answer sheets, or study in the browser on the free plan.

How it works

Add your source

Upload a PDF, DOCX or slide deck, or paste a transcript or notes. Photos of pages also work.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer, then generate the set.

Review and print

Check each question and explanation, remove weak ones, then export the round.

Ready-made quiz sheets are generic, so they rarely match the episodes your regulars follow. Working from your own source means every question traces back to something you can check before the night.

Podcast transcripts are usually plain text, so paste them in directly. Review the output before quiz night, since AI can miss nuance or mix up names, dates and figures.

How many questions work well for a podcast-based pub quiz round?

Choose episodes with clear facts, such as dates, names and places, since these make the most reliable multiple-choice answers. Avoid opinion-heavy segments unless you want a debate on the night.
