How to build a trivia round from your own material
A trivia night for a team of twenty needs questions that match what the group actually knows, and a trivia maker for participants can start from a lecture deck, a club handout or your own notes instead of a generic question bank.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions in one set
- Explanations for every answer, useful when the group asks why
- Free plan: 3 generations a month, study in the browser, no exports
- Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export
Questions from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and the questions come from that content.
Explanations included
Every multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with a short explanation, so answers can be discussed after the reveal.
Export when you need it
Free plans study in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, notes or a photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer for each round.
Review and run the round
Check the questions and explanations, then run the round in the browser or export on a paid plan.
Start with the facts you want people to recall. Short, specific sentences in your source make the best questions, because the generator writes each question around one fact and explains why the answer is correct. Review every question before the round, since you know your audience better than any tool does.
Mix the formats so the round stays lively. Multiple-choice works well for dates and names, true/false suits quick rounds, and short answer questions give the group room to discuss before the reveal.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a trivia round for participants have?
Most rounds run well with 10 to 20 questions split into two or three categories, so people can pace themselves and rest between blocks. Generate a larger set, then pick the strongest questions for the night.
How do I write trivia questions that participants can answer without guessing?
Use one clear fact per question and make the wrong choices plausible but clearly incorrect. Check that each explanation names the reason, since that gives the host something to say after the reveal.
Can I export trivia questions to PDF or DOCX?
Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Does it export to Moodle or QTI formats?
Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. They are not included in the free or Plus plans.
