Writing a quiz round from your own material

Hosting a quiz night in Uxbridge usually means writing rounds that suit your crowd, and a pub quiz works best when each question has one clear answer. DeckOwl turns your own study material into multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations, so you can build a round from notes on the topics you choose.

Mix question types, such as multiple choice and true/false
Read each explanation before you read the question out

Example general knowledge trivia questions

Which river flows through central London?The River Thames. It runs past Westminster and the City, so it is a common answer in London-themed rounds.

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. Sydney is the largest city, but Canberra was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne.

How many players from one cricket team are on the field at once?Eleven. Cricket is a regular topic in British pub quizzes, so this is a useful rule to know.

Which planet has the most confirmed moons?Saturn. Its count rose sharply in recent years after new moons were confirmed, passing Jupiter.

What is the chemical symbol Na?Sodium. The symbol comes from the Latin word natrium, which is why it does not match the English name.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes and the quiz is drawn from what you gave it.

Export when you need it

PDF and DOCX export are part of Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file or plain-text notes that cover the topics for your round.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions and how many you want.

Check it and run it

Review the questions and explanations, then use them at your next quiz night.

The tool does not list venues, dates or events, so it will not tell you where a quiz is running. It helps with the questions themselves. Upload a few PDFs or slides on geography, science or music, then review every question before it goes on the night.
