Why build your round from your own material

Printable pub quiz sheets are easy to find, but they rarely match your crowd, your venue's theme, or the topics you want to cover. DeckOwl takes a document you already have, such as a reading list, a slide deck on local history, or a set of trivia notes, and writes questions from it.

Write rounds on any topic your group cares about
Reuse the same notes to make rounds that get harder over time
Check every answer before the night, with the explanation beside it
Keep a copy as PDF or DOCX for next month's quiz night
