Write UK pub quiz rounds from your own material

Hosting a UK pub quiz usually means writing rounds from scratch, which eats up time most hosts would rather spend elsewhere. DeckOwl can turn your own material into questions instead: upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes, and it writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations you can check before the night.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from one upload
  • Explanations for every answer, so disputes get settled quickly
  • Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of printed pages
  • PDF or DOCX export on Plus, with QTI and Moodle XML on Pro
