Why build your own pub quiz with answers

Ready-made printable quiz sheets are generic, and their answer keys can be out of date by the time you read them. Making your own pub quiz with answers from notes, slides or a book chapter means every question matches what your group actually wants to cover.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions
  • Explanations that let the host justify each answer
  • PDF and DOCX export on Plus, QTI and Moodle XML on Pro
  • Free plan with 3 generations per month to try it out
Example general knowledge trivia questions with answers
Which planet is known as the Red Planet?Mars. Iron oxide dust covering its surface gives it a reddish color.
What is the largest ocean on Earth?The Pacific Ocean. It covers more area than all of Earth's land combined.
How many players from one team are on the field at once in soccer?Eleven. This includes the goalkeeper, and the rule applies to each side.
Which element has the chemical symbol Au?Gold. The symbol comes from the Latin word aurum.
True or false: honey never spoils.True. Its low moisture and acidity make it hostile to bacteria, so properly stored honey keeps for a very long time.

Questions with explanations

Each multiple-choice, true/false or short answer question comes with an explanation, so the answer key doubles as a quick reference for the host.

Exports for printing and sharing

Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages, and every question is drawn from the content you provided.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Review and export

Check each answer and explanation, then study in the browser or export the quiz.

For a 2026 quiz, check time-sensitive answers such as current officeholders, champions and record holders against a recent source before the night. Trivia built on stable facts, like geography, science and classic literature, holds up well from year to year.

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep trivia answers accurate for 2026?

Check anything that changes, such as current officeholders, award winners and sports results, against a recent source close to the quiz date. Stable facts in geography, science and history rarely need updating.

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Rounds of 8 to 12 questions keep a busy room moving. Split longer lists into themed rounds so players get a break between sections.

Can I export my quiz to PDF or Word?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are a paid feature.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
