Why hosts skip a generic template

Hosts who already have a pub quiz template PowerPoint deck usually end up retyping every question anyway, because a blank slide layout does not write the trivia for you. Most of the work is in the questions, not the formatting.

How it works

Upload your source

Pick question types and count

Select multiple choice, true/false or open questions and set the difficulty you want for the room.

Review and print

Check each question and explanation, edit anything that needs changing, then export for the night.

DeckOwl reads your own material and drafts questions with answers and short explanations, so you can review and adjust them rather than starting from nothing. Themed rounds, such as geography, music or science, are easy to build from separate source files.

Because the output is based on your notes, the questions match the topics your crowd cares about. You stay in control of what goes into the final round.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good trivia questions for a pub quiz?

Keep each question to one clear answer and avoid answers that could be argued. Mix easy and hard items, and group them into themed rounds such as geography, science or music.

How many questions should a pub quiz have?

Many hosts split the night into themed rounds of a handful of questions each, then add a tiebreaker. Shorter rounds keep the room engaged between drinks.

Can DeckOwl export my quiz to PowerPoint?

PowerPoint export is not a listed feature. Plus lets you export PDF or DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
