Tips For Trivia Night
1.) The best trivia players tend to be big readers with a love of knowledge. They read about a variety of topics. Interestingly, one of the Jeopardy grand champions mentioned that he gained a lot of knowledge from kids’ books.
2.) Watch trivia-oriented shows like Jeopardy. It will help train your mind to think and process questions quickly. Check out radio shows and podcasts as well.
3.) Mind your ABCs – Always Be Curious. You’ll pick up random facts on visits to the Grocery Store, a walk in the park, or conversations with neighbors. Ask questions. Learn.
4.) Recruit your smart friends. You know who they are. See if you can convince them to be part of your team.
5.) Read the rules. Many trivia nights are themed to a particular subject matter, and if you have time, you can do some last-minute cramming on. Reacquainting yourself with the subject matter and some details can’t hurt.
6.) Arrive early on the big night. It’s good to be in a position where you can see and hear easily.
7.) As with aptitude testing, it’s usually best to go with your first instinct for an answer. Trivia questions are developed to be tricky, but sometimes the most obvious answer is the best.
8.) Understand your goals. Are you looking for some fun and conversation? That’s a good start. Realize that everyone on your team might not be treating this like Olympic training. Meet some new friends on opposing teams.
Trivia Team Names FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions on trivia team names.
A good trivia team name is funny and reflective of the team’s roster. A group of cops calling themselves “Donut Call List” or band members naming their team “Be Sharp” are two good examples.
A few of our favorite clever trivia team names are “Les Quizerables,” “Olympic Pool Lifeguards,” “We thought we were speed dating,” and “Team Redundancy Team.”
For obvious reasons, “Healthcare Heroes” is a particularly relevant trivia team name option in 2022 and 2023.
