106 Quiz Team Names

Here are 100+ quiz team names sorted by venue, because a name that works in a pub often does not work at a school fundraiser or a company quiz on a video call.

Quiz nights happen in wildly different rooms, and the room decides the name far more than your team does. The lists below start from where you are playing rather than from a theme, so you can skip straight to the section that matches your venue.

Pub quiz names

Standard pub night, mixed crowd, host with a microphone.

Keyword (optional — a city, mascot or inside joke)Alliteration

Work quiz names

Company quizzes where the joke should be about the office and nothing else.

School and student quiz names

Classroom quizzes, house competitions and student union nights.

Virtual quiz names

Video call quizzes, where connection jokes are universally understood.

Charity and fundraiser quiz names

Clean, warm names for events where the point is raising money.

Short quiz names

For any venue where the answer sheet has a small name box.

How to pick from this list

Let the venue pick the tone

The same name can be a hit in a pub and an incident at a school fundraiser. Start from where you are playing, not from what your team finds funny, and the shortlist narrows itself.

Virtual quizzes have their own jokes

You're on Mute and Connection Unstable land instantly on a video call and mean nothing in a pub. If the quiz is remote, use the format's vocabulary rather than importing a pub name.

Work quizzes are still work

Colleagues will remember the name, and so will whoever organised the event. Office-life jokes are safe and funny; anything else is a risk you take for a single evening's laugh.

What this looks like in practice

A company quiz held on a video call goes with You're on Mute. Everyone on the call has said the phrase that week, the host laughs reading it, and there is nothing in it that anyone has to think twice about the next morning.

Frequently asked questions

What are good quiz team names?

It depends on the venue. Pubs suit Quiz Pro Quo or Here for the Chips, workplaces suit Out of Office or Per My Last Email, and virtual quizzes suit You're on Mute or Connection Unstable.

What are good quiz team names for work?

Keep the joke inside office life: Out of Office, Per My Last Email, Circle Back, Quarterly Results or The Break Room. Colleagues get it immediately and nobody has an awkward conversation afterwards.

What are good names for a virtual quiz?

Video call jokes work best because everyone on the call has lived them: You're on Mute, Connection Unstable, Buffering, Breakout Room Six or Camera Off Team.
