Trivia Team Names

Witty pub-quiz names that hint you did the reading.

Trivia night lives and dies on the team name, it is the one line the host reads aloud between rounds, and a clever one earns a laugh from the whole bar before you have answered a single question. The best pub-quiz names blend brains and puns: a play on a famous person, a scientific formula, a book title or a drinking joke that signals you are here for fun first and bragging rights second. From literary riffs to pop-culture mash-ups, the names below are original, family-friendly and built to land at the mic. Copy the one that fits your table's sense of humor, and flip to the second page for even more quiz-night gold to choose from.
