Turn your own slides into a free pub quiz
There is no ready-made PowerPoint to download, but you can upload your notes or slides and get a trivia quiz built from them.
Why a custom pub quiz beats a generic download
A generic free pub quiz PowerPoint often covers topics your group has never heard of, so the round falls flat before it starts. Building questions from your own material keeps the difficulty and subject matter in line with the people in the room.
- Questions drawn from your own categories and sources
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open formats in one set
- Explanations included for quick answer checks
- Free plan to start, with no credit card needed
Upload what you already have
Add PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Mixed question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation for the host to read out.
Study in the browser
Run practice rounds on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX when you upgrade to Plus.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in a file or paste notes covering the categories you want, such as geography, music or science.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.
Review and run it
Edit anything that feels off, then run the round in the browser or export it.
Trivia works best when each question has a clear answer and a short reason it is correct. Generated questions include explanations, so the host can settle disputes quickly and the group learns something from every round.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a pub quiz round have?
Most rounds use between 10 and 15 questions, which keeps each round moving within about 15 minutes. Mix easier and harder questions so teams of different strengths all get chances to score.
What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?
A good question has one clear answer that most people can check, and it avoids vague wording that invites argument. Test each question by asking whether a host could read it aloud and mark the answer without looking anything up.
Can I download the quiz as a PowerPoint file?
DeckOwl exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on the Plus plan, and to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro. You can run the quiz in the browser on the free plan, which has no exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are paid features, and you do not need a credit card to start.
