How to choose the perfect trivia team name 

Still can’t decide? Here are a few tips to help you narrow things down. 

• Know your team’s vibe. If your team is more serious, go for something clever but straightforward. For a casual or humorous group, feel free to pick something silly and lighthearted. 

• Tailor it to the event. Is the trivia night themed around a specific topic, like movies or music? Use that as inspiration for your name. 

• Inside jokes work. Have a running joke in your friend group? Incorporate it into your team name to make it personal. 

Bonus tip for parents 

If you’re playing trivia as a family, consider getting everyone involved in choosing the name! This makes it even more fun for the kids and helps everyone feel included. 

A final touch for trivia lovers 

Choosing a team name is just the beginning of your trivia-night success. If you’re looking to practice some trivia, test your knowledge on questions about Disney, about science, written in Jeopardy-style, and for kids.
