200 Clever Trivia Team Names for the Win

Trivia night is about exactly one thing, and one thing only. Forget having fun with friends, solving puzzles and showing off all the random facts you’ve picked up over the years. Trivia night is all about correctly answering the most trivia questions. But even if your team is stumped when it comes to movie trivia questions and lost in the face of history trivia questions, you’ll go out with style if you have a clever team name. OK, so trivia night is actually about two things: winning and having one of the best trivia team names in the place.

You may already have a witty book club name, but it won’t do for this competition. And nobody likes the feeling of staring at a blank answer booklet as the quizmaster calls for team names, so you’d best choose yours now. Lucky for you, we’ve come up with a bunch of good trivia team names that will work for any type of group. In fact, it might be wise to keep a list of the best names on you just in case you’re called to come up with a fun team name on short notice.

From movie references and jokes to names based on your team’s interests, there are sure to be at least a few trivia team names on our list that will make you proud to hear it read out in the bar—maybe even in first place!

How do you come up with a good trivia team name?

Finding the perfect trivia team name to capture the essence of your group requires some thought. There are traditional trivia team names, like punny pop-culture references or memes. Or you can use an inside joke or sports reference to name your team. You can even reuse your group chat name.

A good trivia team name sums up where your team sits on the competitiveness scale: Are you proud know-it-alls, or simply there because of beer pressure? The best jokes make the best team names, but bad jokes can still kill it with the crowd.

If you’re really stumped, try a themed name on for size. Go with your group’s favorite movie, TV show or book series. Then again, we once heard of a trivia team name that focused on uplifting a single member, calling themselves “It’s All About Dave.” Really, anything goes—the weirder, funnier and more creative, the better!
