Build your own Xmas pub quiz round

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page, and get questions drawn from that text.

Three question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation so the answer can be checked before the round starts.

Export when you need it

Plus exports PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan stays in the browser.

How it works

Add your material

Upload trivia notes, a festive fact sheet or slides you already have.

Pick the question type

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions for the round.

Review and run the round

Check each question and explanation, then read them out or export a copy on a paid plan.

Start by gathering what your crowd already knows or wants to learn: a list of Christmas films, carol histories or local holiday traditions typed into a document works well. DeckOwl turns that text into questions with explanations you can check before the night.

Multiple-choice rounds suit mixed groups, true/false works for quick warm-ups, and open questions give the quizmaster room to discuss answers. Free accounts can generate and study in the browser, and paid plans add exports.
