Why a custom pub quiz beats a generic printable

If you want a printable pub quiz questions PDF, the fastest route is often to write one from the facts your group already cares about. A round built from your own material matches your crowd, your theme nights and the topics you have covered before, instead of recycled questions that half the room has already seen.

  • Write rounds from your own trivia notes or slides
  • Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions
  • Include a short explanation with every answer
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan

Export for printing or import

Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX for printing, with Anki and CSV options for study, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of your trivia list. Text recognition reads the pages for you.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want for each round.

Review and export

Check the questions and explanations, then export a PDF for printing or study in the browser.

DeckOwl reads your notes and writes questions with clear correct answers and short explanations. Review each one before printing, drop anything ambiguous, and keep the ones that spark good debate. Printing is a paid feature, so the free plan is best for testing the format first.
