Why custom rounds beat a printed template

A printed sheet of general knowledge questions is fine for a one-off, but the regulars have often seen it before. Writing your own pub quiz rounds from a lecture handout, a team briefing or a list of topics keeps the answers fresh and matches the crowd in the room.

Start from material you already trust rather than a random online list.
Mix multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep the pace quick.
Keep each round to a manageable length so teams do not rush.
Review explanations before the night to catch any ambiguous wording.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a handout, and the questions come from what you provided.

Explanations for the host

Every question includes the correct answer and a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar.

Export when you need it

Save rounds as PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan, or move them into Moodle or QTI on Pro.

How it works

Upload your source

Add slides, a lecture handout, a briefing document or a set of topic notes.

Pick the question type

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions for each round.

Review and run the round

Check the answers and explanations, then study in the browser or export a printable copy.

Custom rounds also let you pitch difficulty. Generate a set of easy opening questions, then a harder round that draws on the same material, so teams with different strengths all have a chance to score.

Because each question includes an explanation, you can check accuracy before the night and read the reason aloud when a team challenges an answer.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts keep a round short enough that teams can answer every question without rushing, often around ten.

How do I write general knowledge trivia questions that are not too obscure?

Pick facts most adults have met at least once, such as capitals, famous authors or basic science. Avoid questions with two defensible answers, and cut any that depend on one obscure detail.

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are part of the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
