Why write your own pub quiz rounds

A strong pub round starts with a few easy openers, puts the hardest question in the middle and ends on something the whole room can shout out. Writing that shape by hand takes an evening, which is why many hosts reuse the same sheet for months. Generating pub quiz round examples from your own notes gives you fresh questions on the topics your regulars actually care about.

Mix easy, medium and hard questions so teams of every size can score.
Keep each answer to one clear, checkable fact.
Write a one-sentence explanation for any answer that may be argued.
Reuse your best rounds by exporting them once you are on a paid plan.

Example general knowledge trivia questions

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was chosen as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, so it is not the largest city.

Which chemical element has the symbol Na?Sodium. The symbol comes from its Latin name, natrium.

How many players from one side are on a cricket field at once?Eleven. Each side fields eleven players at a time, so the fielding team is always eleven strong.

In which Shakespeare play does the moneylender Shylock appear?The Merchant of Venice. Shylock is the central antagonist, and his bond with Antonio drives the plot.

True or false: the Great Wall of China is easily visible to the naked eye from the Moon.False. The wall is too narrow and low-contrast to be seen from the Moon with the naked eye.

Generate the full set

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Each round can mix formats so the table has to think about more than one kind of answer.

Explanations for every answer

When a team disputes a result, the explanation gives you the reason in one sentence.

Built from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page and the questions come from that content.

How it works

Upload your source

Add notes, a slide deck, a PDF or a photo of a handout. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the round.

Review and host

Remove anything too obscure, reorder for difficulty and run the round from your screen.

If you want a ready-made sheet, sample rounds are easy to find online. They are a fine starting point, but they cannot reflect the categories you have chosen or the difficulty your room enjoys. Upload the material behind your theme, such as a local history booklet or a set of film notes, and review the output before the night.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions make a good pub quiz round?

Most hosts use eight to twelve questions per round, which keeps the round to about ten minutes. Spread the difficulty so early answers build confidence before the harder ones.

How do I write general knowledge questions with one clear answer?

Ask for a single fact, such as a date, a name or a capital city, and avoid wording that allows two correct responses. Test each question by asking whether someone could argue a different answer.

Can I export pub quiz questions to Word or PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $39 a year or $7.99 a month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan.

Is there a free plan to try this first?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports. You do not need a credit card to start.
