Why build your own trivia round

Ready-made quiz packs are easy to find, but an Xbox pub quiz goes better when the questions come from material your group has actually covered. DeckOwl reads a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation, so you can check the answers before game night.

Generate a separate round for each theme so the night stays varied.
Pick multiple-choice for fast scoring and open questions for debate.
Read the explanation aloud when an answer surprises the room.
Start on the Free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make general knowledge trivia questions harder or easier?

Choose source material that is more or less specialized, and use multiple-choice for easier rounds or open questions for harder ones. Reviewing the generated questions before the night lets you drop any that are too obscure for your group.

What makes a good general knowledge pub quiz round?

A good round mixes a few themes, such as history, science and popular culture, and avoids questions that rely on a single niche fact. Clear, short wording helps players answer quickly and keeps the scoring fair.
