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
Example general knowledge trivia questions

True or false: The Great Wall of China is easily visible to the naked eye from the Moon.False. The Moon is about 384,000 km away and the wall is narrow, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye from that distance.
Which chemical element has the symbol Na?Sodium. The symbol comes from its Latin name, natrium.
Who wrote the novel Frankenstein?Mary Shelley, first published in 1818. She was 20 when the novel appeared.
