Running a pub quiz in Zurich without writing every question by hand

Thursday nights in Zurich often mean a full room, a bar tab and a question sheet someone has to write from scratch. If that someone is you, a Thursday pub quiz in Zurich is easier to run when the questions start from material you already have.

  • Draft questions from a lecture handout, a slide deck or your own notes
  • Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions within one round
  • Read explanations aloud when a team challenges an answer
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Questions from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages and generate questions from what you already have.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Mix question types in one set so every round has a different feel for the room.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the bar without flipping through a book.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the handout, notes or list of facts you want to use for the quiz.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want per round.

Review and host

Check each question and explanation before Thursday, then run the night with your sheet or screen.

Start with the handout, notes or fact list your team already uses and let DeckOwl draft the questions. Review each item before the night, because you know which answers your regulars will dispute, and use the explanations to settle arguments at the bar.
