Writing trivia rounds that stay fair and fun

A video pub quiz works best when every question has one clear answer and the host can explain why it is right. DeckOwl reads your source material and drafts questions with that structure, so you spend your time on the round rather than typing each item from scratch.

Keep one correct answer per question so judging stays simple.
Vary categories such as geography, science, music and history.
Check each explanation so the host can justify the answer in one sentence.
Start with a short set of ten to fifteen questions before building a longer round.

Example general knowledge trivia questions for a pub quiz

Which planet is known for its bright, extensive ring system?Saturn. Its rings are made mostly of ice and rock particles and are far brighter than those of the other giant planets.

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was chosen as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, even though both are larger cities.

Who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?Michelangelo. He painted it between 1508 and 1512 at the commission of Pope Julius II.

True or false: honey never spoils.True. Its low moisture and acidity make it hostile to microbes, which is why sealed honey has stayed edible for very long periods.

What gas do plants absorb during photosynthesis?Carbon dioxide. Plants combine it with water and sunlight to make glucose and release oxygen.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages and build questions from what you actually want to test.

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short open questions, each with an explanation the host can read out after the answer.

Export when you need it

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro if your round lives in a learning platform.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a page.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions and decide how many you want for each category.

Review and run the round

Check each answer and explanation, then read them out on screen or print the set for the night.

Trivia lands better when it draws on facts people half remember, such as a famous invention or a capital city, rather than obscure details. Review every generated question before the night, because the tool works from the text you give it and a typo in your slides will carry into the question.

Mix formats across the round so multiple choice, true/false and open answers keep the pace varied. If you want a visual round, pair the written questions with clips or images you already own.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a pub quiz round have?

Many hosts run around 10 to 15 questions per category so the evening keeps moving. Adjust the count to how long you want the round to last.

What makes a good general knowledge trivia question?

A good question has one unambiguous answer, plain wording and a fact most of the room can check afterward. Avoid trick phrasing that changes the meaning.
