Generate the full set

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. The questions come from what you actually provide.

Three question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, and mix them within one round so teams face a range of formats.

Explanations included

Each question comes with an explanation, so you can settle a disputed answer at the bar without digging through a book.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or notes on the topics you want to cover, such as geography, music or science.

Pick the question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and generate a set for your round.

Review and run the round

Check the questions, edit anything that feels off, then read them out or print them from a paid export.

A good round mixes categories and formats. Start with the source you already trust, such as a textbook chapter, a set of slides or your own research notes, and let the generator draft the questions. You then decide which ones stay.

Reviewing the explanations is the quickest way to catch weak questions before the night. If an answer is ambiguous, rewrite the question or drop it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write general knowledge trivia questions that are fair?

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Keep each round short enough that teams stay engaged, and mix easy questions with harder ones. Varying the formats also helps the room stay active.
