Turn your own notes into pub quiz practice questions
Ready-made sets rarely match the rounds you will face. Upload your own trivia material and DeckOwl writes questions with explanations you can drill before quiz night.
Why build your own pub quiz practice questions
Ready-made printable sets of pub quiz practice questions are easy to find, but they seldom cover the categories your team will actually face. DeckOwl reads the material you choose, such as a list of categories, a slide deck on world history, or notes from last month's quiz night, and writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with a short explanation for each answer.
- Cover categories such as geography, science, history, music and film using your own notes.
- Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in a single set.
- Read the explanation for every answer, including the ones you got right.
- Study sets in the browser on the free plan, with exports available on paid plans.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or a photo of a page and get questions from that content.
Study in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, so you can try a round before paying anything.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a fact sheet, a slide deck on your categories, or notes from past quiz nights.
Pick types and generate
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and let DeckOwl write the set.
Practice and review
Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.
Because every question has an explanation, you learn why an answer is right instead of memorizing a bare fact. Trivia sticks better when you understand the reason behind it, so the explanations do much of the teaching. Run a short round alone, then review the questions you missed until the answers come easily.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write good general knowledge trivia questions?
Start with one clear fact per question and keep the answer short and unambiguous. Avoid questions where more than one answer could be defended, and check each one against a reliable source before the quiz.
Which pub quiz topics are easiest to study in advance?
Fixed-category topics such as world capitals, chemical symbols, famous authors and planets can be drilled ahead of time. Current events and chart music change quickly, so review those close to the date.
Can I export the practice questions?
Exports are paid features: PDF and DOCX are on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
