Generate the full set

Upload what you have

Add PDFs, slides, Word files, plain notes or photos of printed pages and get questions drawn from them.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Mix formats across rounds, and each question comes with an explanation you can read out if an answer is disputed.

Export when you need it

Plus users can export to PDF and DOCX to print a question sheet, and Pro users can also export QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and generate a set for your round.

Check and print

Review each question and explanation, remove anything you do not want, then study in the browser or export a copy.

Good trivia depends on accurate answers, so always check the generated explanations before the night. Themed rounds work well when you upload one topic at a time, such as geography, science or history, and then mix the sets together.
