Why hosts build their own questions

Most hosts running a pub quiz in Vic Park end up rewriting the same tired questions because ready-made packs do not fit the room. Writing fresh rounds from scratch takes hours, and it is hard to check every answer.

Generate the full set

Questions from your own material

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. The questions come from what you give it, so your rounds reflect your topics.

Three question types

Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions in one set. Each question includes an explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar.

Export when you are ready

Study and host in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems.

How it works

Upload your trivia notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of your round material. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose your question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, or combine them across your rounds.

Review, then run the night

Check the questions and explanations, then print or export them if you have a Plus or Pro plan.

Starting from your own notes changes that. Paste in a themed reading, a list of local facts or a textbook chapter, and the generator builds questions tied to that material, each with a short explanation you can read out if someone challenges the answer.

Review the set before the night. Remove anything too obscure, rewrite a question that is ambiguous, and keep a mix of easy and hard items so every table has a chance.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts keep rounds short so the night keeps moving, then split a larger set into themed rounds. Test your round length with a friend before the event.

How can I make general knowledge trivia harder without making it obscure?

Ask about cause and effect or about why something happens, not just what its name is. Good trivia rewards reasoning, and explanations help you check that each answer is fair.

Can I export my quiz to print it?

Export to PDF or DOCX is a paid feature, available on 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 it first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
