Write pub quiz trivia rounds from any PDF or set of notes
Skip the generic question lists. Upload a document you already have and get a round of trivia questions with answers and short explanations, ready to read out or print.
Why build your own trivia round
Hosting a quiz night usually means writing rounds from scratch, and generic lists rarely fit your crowd. If you want pub quiz trivia built around a subject you can source, DeckOwl reads your own document and writes questions with answers and explanations.
- Questions are based on the text you upload, so the subject matches your theme.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open formats can be mixed in one round.
- Each question includes an explanation you can read aloud when answers are challenged.
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with study in the browser.
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, Word file, plain text or a photo of a page, and the questions come from that content.
Three question types
Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions so your round has variety for teams with different strengths.
Explanations included
Each answer comes with a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar without looking anything up.
How it works
Upload your source
Add the PDF, slides, notes or photos you want the round built from.
Choose the format
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, or a mix of all three.
Review and export
Trim anything too obscure for your room, then study or print it from the browser, or export it as a file.
Ready-made packs seldom match the themes you need, so the faster route is to start from material you already have, such as a local history talk, a regional food guide or a course reading. Review each question, cut anything too obscure for the room, and export a printable sheet when you are ready.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a pub quiz round have?
Most hosts run rounds of 8 to 12 questions so each round finishes in about 10 to 15 minutes. Shorter rounds keep energy up when you have several categories in one night.
How do I choose categories for general knowledge trivia?
Pick topics that a broad range of people can reason through, such as geography, food, science basics and popular history. Avoid categories where only specialists would know the answer, and mix easy and hard questions in each round.
Can I export my trivia questions to Word or PDF?
Exporting to PDF and DOCX is included in the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Is there a free plan to try this?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start. You can upgrade later if you want unlimited generations and exports.
