How the round gets made

If you are hunting for a pub quiz team names generator, DeckOwl will not give you one. It is a study tool that reads your PDFs, slides and notes, then writes questions with explanations. That makes it useful when you are the one writing the round and want fresh trivia from your own material.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions
  • Explanations written for every answer
  • Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro

Review and run the round

Check each question and explanation, then read them out at your quiz night.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?

A good question has one clear correct answer that a team can check against a reliable source. Mix easy and hard items so every table has a chance, and avoid questions where two answers could both be right.

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

There is no fixed standard, so choose a count that fits your time slot. Keep each round on one theme so teams can settle answers quickly.

Does DeckOwl generate pub quiz team names?

No, DeckOwl is a study tool that writes quiz questions and explanations from your material. It does not create team names.

Can I export the questions for my quiz night?

Yes, but exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
