Why write your own pub quiz trivia questions

  • Explanations for every answer, ready to read aloud
  • Works from PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month to try it out

Frequently asked questions

How many pub quiz trivia questions should a round have?

Many hosts plan around 10 to 15 questions so teams have time to discuss each one. Adjust the count to fit how long your venue wants the round to run.

What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?

Each question should have one clearly correct answer that can be checked, and the wording should not give the answer away. Mixing easy and harder items keeps every table involved.

Can I export the questions to print for the night?

Yes, on a paid plan. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
