Getting a pub quiz ready in one evening

Hosting a pub quiz tonight usually means writing a round from scratch after work, with the answers still in your head from the last time. DeckOwl reads the material you already have and drafts questions with answers and explanations, so you spend your time checking the round rather than typing it.

Start from notes, slides or photos of pages rather than a blank document
Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in the same round
Read the explanation for each answer so you can settle close calls quickly
Keep a copy of the round for next week and swap in new material

Example general knowledge trivia questions

Which planet is known as the Red Planet?Mars. Iron oxide, a form of rust, on its surface gives it the reddish color.

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was purpose-built as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, so it is often missed in quizzes.

How many bones does a typical adult human body have?206. Babies have more bones, and many fuse together as they grow.

True or false: honey can stay edible for a very long time.True. Its low moisture and acidity resist spoilage, and sealed honey found in ancient tombs has been reported still edible.

Which element has the chemical symbol Na?Sodium. The symbol comes from its Latin name, natrium.

Generate the full set

Multiple-choice, true/false or open

Pick the question style that suits your round, from quick true/false picks to open questions that need a short answer.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar and know why an answer is right.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Questions come from the content you give it, not a generic pool.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of your notes or slides.

Choose your question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.

Review and run the round

Check the questions and answers, remove any you do not like, and take them to the pub.

Pre-made trivia packs are fine for a backup, but a round built from the topics your regulars actually care about tends to land better. Upload a themed set of notes, a slideshow from a previous quiz, or a page from a reference book, then keep the questions you want.

Generation is quick, and you can review every question before the quiz starts.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Most rounds run 8 to 12 questions per round, with 4 to 6 rounds across the night. Mix easier opening questions with harder ones near the end to keep the room engaged.

How do I pick good general knowledge trivia questions?

Aim for questions with one clear, checkable answer that most people can reason towards. Avoid questions that depend on a single obscure fact or on wording that could be argued.

Can I export the questions to use on paper or in another tool?

Exports are a paid feature: Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

No. You can start without a credit card, and the free plan includes 3 generations per month.
