Why build your own general knowledge quiz

Printable sheets have their place, but a generic handout rarely matches the crowd in your pub. Generate a pub quiz with answers from material you choose, such as a trivia booklet, lecture slides or a reading list, and every question arrives with its answer and a short explanation.

Upload PDFs, DOCX, slides, plain notes or photos of pages
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations
Mix categories such as geography, science, history and culture in one set
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Generate the full set

Questions from your material

Paste a trivia booklet, reading list or lecture notes and get questions built from exactly what you chose, not a generic sheet.

Answers and explanations

Every question comes with the correct answer and a short explanation, so the quizmaster can settle a dispute in seconds.

Mixed question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, or mix them, to vary the rounds of your quiz night.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Pick question types and count

Choose how many questions you want and which formats suit your round, then generate the set.

Review, then run the quiz

Check the answers, edit anything that needs changing, and export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.

Custom rounds also keep the quiz fresh week to week. Swap in a new set of notes on science, history or geography and the questions change with it, so regulars cannot memorize last month's answers.

Because the answers and explanations are included, you can check every question before the night and read the reasons aloud when a team challenges a result.
