How to build your own pub quiz round
Plenty of people searching for a Sporcle-style pub quiz want ready-made sets, but those cover someone else's topics. Here you can turn your own material into trivia that fits your local crowd, your club or your class.
- Pick a theme for each round, such as geography, music or science.
- Check each explanation so you can settle disputes quickly.
- Mix in true/false questions for fast rounds between longer sections.
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus if you want printed answer sheets.
Your topics, not generic lists
Build questions from the material you care about, whether that is a music history handout or a list of football facts.
Several question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the answer.
Export on paid plans
Plus exports to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser.
How it works

Run the round
