Why build your own pub quiz round

A printed pub quiz poster is only as good as its questions, and generic sheets often miss the topics your regulars care about. Building the round from your own material keeps the questions fair and relevant to the group.

Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX file, plain text or a photo of a page.
Get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations.
Review every answer key before printing the round.
Export to PDF on the Plus plan for a printable sheet.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a general knowledge pub quiz round have?

Most rounds run between 10 and 20 questions per category, which keeps each round short enough to finish in one sitting. Split your questions into themed rounds so players can rest between sets.

How do I write trivia questions that have one clear answer?

Ask about a single fact, such as a date, a name or a place, and avoid wording that could fit more than one answer. Check that each distractor in a multiple-choice question is clearly wrong.

Can I export the questions to PDF?

Yes, PDF export is a paid feature included with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Does DeckOwl export to QTI or Moodle XML?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included with the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Use them if you want to import questions into a learning management system.
