Writing a Wednesday round people remember

Most hosts lose part of a Wednesday evening hunting for questions that are fresh, fair and not already known to the regulars. Ready-made packs can work, but they rarely match the crowd or the theme. A better route is to write pub quiz Wednesday rounds from material you already have, such as a book club reading list, a topic your group loves, or lecture slides from a course.

  • Pick a theme and upload the source material that matches it.
  • Set a mix of multiple-choice and true/false questions for quick rounds.
  • Read each explanation before the quiz so you can rule on disputes.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.

Review and export

Check each answer, edit anything off, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes and photos of pages, then drafts multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations. Review each one before the night, because a good trivia question has a single clear answer and the explanation becomes your reference when a team disputes it.

Mix difficulty within each round so easier questions keep teams engaged and harder ones reward the sharpest tables. Save the set and study it yourself in the browser, then export on a paid plan when you want a printable copy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write general knowledge trivia questions that are fair?

Make sure each question has one clearly correct answer that a reasonable team could verify. Avoid wording that depends on regional phrasing, and check the explanation against a reliable source before you read it out.

What makes a good mix of questions for a pub quiz round?

Combine a few easy warm-up questions with harder ones so every table has a chance to score. Varying the topics within a round also keeps one strong subject from deciding the result.

Can I export my pub quiz questions to PDF or Word?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start without a credit card. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but not exports.
