Why build your own round instead of downloading one

Printable pub quiz templates are fine for a single night, but they rarely match the topics your crowd cares about. Generating pub quiz slides from your own notes or a themed slide deck lets you write rounds that fit your venue and players.

Themed rounds from a single document, like a history or geography unit
Explanations that give the host a fact to share after each reveal
Mixed formats so teams face both quick true/false and harder short answer questions
Custom slides that reflect your venue, crowd and difficulty level

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should each pub quiz round have?

Keep each round short enough that teams can finish before the next one starts. Mixing easy and hard questions within a round keeps the energy up for players of different knowledge levels.

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

Ask about a single fact, such as a date, name or place, and avoid wording that could fit more than one answer. Check that each explanation confirms why the answer is correct so the host can justify it if a team disputes it.

Can I export my pub quiz slides?

PDF and DOCX exports are included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are available on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can begin on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser, and students get 40% off with a school email.
