Why build your own rounds

Hosting a pub quiz often means hunting for printable sheets that never quite suit the room, so DeckOwl works the other way around: upload your material and get pub quiz rounds with answers built from it.

  • Multiple choice with one correct answer marked
  • True/false rounds for quick warm-ups
  • Open questions with a model answer for harder rounds
  • Explanations to settle a debate at the bar when an answer is challenged
Example general knowledge trivia rounds with answers
Which country has the most time zones, counting its overseas territories?France, with 12 time zones, because its overseas territories are spread across the globe.
What is the hardest naturally occurring substance on the Mohs scale?Diamond, rated 10, because its carbon atoms form a rigid crystal lattice that resists scratching.
Which element has the chemical symbol W?Tungsten, named from the German wolfram, which is why its symbol does not match its English name.
Which is the longest bone in the human body?The femur in the thigh, which is long and strong enough to bear the body's weight during walking.
In which city did Mozart's opera The Magic Flute premiere in 1791?Vienna, at the Theater auf der Wieden, where it was staged in German rather than Italian.

Rounds from your own material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a page and get questions drawn from it.

Answers with explanations

Each multiple-choice, true/false or open question comes with the correct answer and a short reason, so the host can check it fast.

Question types for a pub night

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions for each round and mix them within one set.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of the page you want quizzed.

Choose the round style

Select multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.

Check the answers

Review each answer and explanation, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.

Generic sheets rarely reflect the topics your crowd knows or the theme of the night. Generating from your own notes lets you set the subject, whether that is a local history talk, a film club or a unit you teach, and every question arrives with its answer key.

Exports are a paid feature: Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms. The free plan gives 3 generations per month with browser study only.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a pub quiz round be?

Most hosts keep a round short enough to finish comfortably within one break, so choose a question count that fits your evening. You can regenerate a set from the same material if you want a shorter or longer version.

How do I write trivia questions that have one clear answer?

Pick facts that can be checked against a single source, and avoid wording like which of these could be true. Multiple-choice distractors should be plausible but clearly wrong once the answer is known.

Can I export the rounds to a PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Can I start from a photo of a quiz sheet?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can turn a printed sheet into a new set. No credit card is needed to start.
