Trivia games are a fun and exciting way to get groups of people together. We use these challenges for family gatherings, team outings, speed dating, meeting icebreakers, dinners with friends, pub nights, and other activities. But when breaking into teams, what trivia team names will you come up with?
Putting together a trivia challenge is also great because it’s extremely easy to set up. All you need is:

- A set of questions;
- Some ground rules;
- An optional award or prize (bragging rights works, too!).
With all those, you’re pretty much ready to go! But to make your team trivia games even more fun, you might want to add another element— some fun team names. A set of really good trivia names can be great icing on the cake for a fun trivia night.

Tips When Creating Team Names
If you want to come up with trivia team names of your own, you’re more than welcome to, of course. If that’s the case, we don’t want you to leave empty handed. So here are some tups when conjuring up some team names for your next trivia game or trivia night.
1) Find a common bond
A good team trivia name will have some connection to a theme or common bond. So consider creating a name connected to a category, theme, or topic. Think about all the possible titles that correlate with that theme and then attach a quiz or trivia-related theme. You can often do this by inserting some key words about trivia, pub, or game names to the name. Try putting in words like:
- Quiz
- Trivia
- Game
- Pub
- Beer
- Win
- Victory
- And other synonyms of those words.
2) If you have to think about it, that’s not it
Don’t make your names too hard to think about for your trivia partner or other participants. If you have to pause for two to three seconds to get the connection of the name, then that’s not it. Don’t worry! There are endless ideas out there for you to try. Don’t get too stuck on one or two ideas and force it.
3) Don’t be afraid to be ridiculous
Remember that the point of a fun trivia game or night is to be ridiculous and have fun! Try not to be too analytical with the names. The more “punny” and crazy they are, the more they’ll stick. Don’t think about what the party planning committee might think about the names. Get daring!
Final Thoughts
Trivia team names definitely aren’t required when coming up with some good trivia nights. But just like a dash of lemon on a plate of really good cake, they can really add an extra tang to your trivia night!
