Why a custom round beats a generic printable

Hosting a trivia night is easier when the questions fit the topic and the crowd, and a pub quiz template downloaded from the internet rarely does. DeckOwl takes your own PDF, slides or notes and produces multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation.

Match the theme, such as 1980s music or world capitals, by starting from notes you already have.
Each question carries an explanation, so answer reveals take seconds to read out.
Mix formats across rounds so teams are not guessing the same question style all night.
Review the generated set and delete anything weak before you print or export it.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the questions come from what you actually want covered.

Three question formats

Multiple choice, true/false or short answer, each with an explanation the host can read aloud when answers are checked.

Export when you need it

The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your material

Add trivia notes, a slide deck or a PDF of questions you have already written.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them across rounds.

Export or study

Print the quiz as a PDF or DOCX on Plus, or import it into Moodle with Pro.

Trivia nights run better when the questions match the room. A generic sheet can repeat answers people already know or miss the theme of your night entirely. Starting from your own notes lets you set the difficulty and check each answer against a source before the first team arrives.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write trivia questions that are fair to every team?

Keep one clearly correct answer per question and avoid trick wording. Check each answer against a reliable source, since a generated question is only as good as the material behind it.

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Choose a length the room can finish comfortably between drink orders, and keep each round on one theme so teams can settle into it. Adjust after the first night based on how the teams responded.

Can I export a pub quiz to PDF on the free plan?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while PDF and DOCX export are part of Plus at $39 a year or $7.99 a month.

Can I import the quiz into Moodle?

Yes, on the Pro plan at $14.99 a month, which adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
