How DeckOwl fits a pub trivia night

If you came looking for a pub trivia app to run quiz night, DeckOwl works differently. It does not host a live game or track teams on phones. It reads your own notes or slides and writes questions with answers and explanations that you can use to build a round yourself.

  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions
  • A one-sentence explanation for each answer
  • Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes and photos of pages
  • Study in the browser on the free plan
Example pub trivia questions and answers
What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was purpose-built as a compromise so neither Sydney nor Melbourne would be the capital.
Which gas makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere?Nitrogen. Oxygen is second at about 21%, which is why people often guess it first.
Which element has the chemical symbol Au?Gold. The symbol comes from the Latin word aurum.
Who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?Michelangelo. He painted it between 1508 and 1512 for Pope Julius II.
True or false: honey never spoils.True. Its low water content and acidity make it very hostile to bacteria and mold.

Questions from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes an explanation, so the quizmaster can settle a challenge with a reason instead of a shrug.

Export when you are ready

The Plus plan adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, so a round can be printed or moved into other tools.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, DOCX or notes covering the topics your round will include.

Pick a question type

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the questions.

Review and use

Check each question and explanation, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.

That makes it most useful when the theme is one you already know, such as local history, a course you teach or a book club reading list. Upload the source, generate the questions, then cut the ones you do not want. The explanations help when a team challenges an answer.

The free plan includes three generations a month and studying in the browser. Exporting a round requires a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is DeckOwl a live pub trivia app for phones?

No. It generates quiz questions from your material, but it does not host a live game or score teams in real time.

How do I write good pub trivia questions?

Keep each question to one clear fact, make the wrong options plausible, and check that the answer can be confirmed in a reliable source.

Can I export my trivia round to Word or PDF?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which adds PDF and DOCX export. The free plan does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
