Trivia Team Name Generator

The best trivia team names do one specific job: they get a laugh from the room when the quiz host reads out the scores. That is why pub quiz names lean so heavily on puns, especially wordplay on "quiz" and "trivia" (Quizteama Aguilera, Les Quizerables, Trivia Newton John), self-deprecating jokes about losing (Not Last Place, Peaked in High School), and drinking references (Wiser Than Budweiser, Beer Pressure). Pop-culture mashups also do well because they signal what your table is into and give the host something to riff on.

Structurally, most winning names fall into a few patterns: a celebrity or title pun, a phrase that pokes fun at your own chances, a running joke about the venue or a specific round, or an inside reference to a show your group all watches. Bar trivia has been popular in the US since the early 1990s and pub quizzes go back to 1970s Britain, so a lot of the classic names are well worn; hosts have heard "Quiz in My Pants" a thousand times. The freshest names usually mix a current reference with an old formula.

This generator collects several hundred pun-based, pop-culture, science, history, and self-deprecating options. Pick one that fits your group's sense of humor and keep it under about six words so it fits on the answer sheet and the host can read it without stumbling.
