Why custom questions beat a list of top pub quiz answers

Printed lists of top pub quiz answers tend to repeat the same handful of facts, and the next quizmaster rarely uses them. A set of questions built from your own material is more useful because you control what gets covered and how hard it is.

  • Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions
  • Explanations for every answer
  • Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for paid users

Frequently asked questions

How many trivia questions should a pub quiz round have?

There is no fixed number, but many rounds use 10 to 20 questions across two or three categories so no single topic dominates.

How do I study general knowledge trivia effectively?

Test yourself with questions rather than rereading facts, and return to the ones you miss. Spacing your reviews over several days helps the answers stick.

Does DeckOwl give me the answers to a pub quiz?

It creates questions and explanations from the material you upload, so the answers come from your own notes rather than a ready-made list.

Can I export the quiz for a quiz night?

Exports are a paid feature: Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
