Everything you wanted to know about Stranger Things trivia team names, the show, and how to dominate your next trivia night.
The best Stranger Things trivia team names reference Hawkins, the Upside Down, and beloved characters. Top picks include "The Upside Down Thinkers," "Eleven Out of Ten," "Friends Don't Lie," and "The Hellfire Club." Names that reference iconic quotes, locations, and creatures from the show tend to be the most recognizable and fun at trivia night. The key is balancing a reference most fans will get with a clever pun or twist.
The Hellfire Club is the Dungeons & Dragons club at Hawkins High School, led by Eddie Munson in Season 4. Dustin and Mike are members, and the club becomes central to the season's plot when Eddie becomes a target of Vecna after Chrissy Cunningham's death. The name itself is a reference to the Hellfire Club from Marvel Comics' X-Men — a fitting nod since the Duffer Brothers have cited X-Men as a major influence on the show. As a trivia team name, "The Hellfire Club" works because it's instantly recognizable, sounds badass, and has that perfect mix of D&D nerd culture and 80s pop culture.
Funny Stranger Things trivia team names include "The Eggo Waffles," "Steve's Hair," "The Reaganomics," "Friends Don't Lie (About Our Score)," "The New Coke Lovers," "The Bald Eagle Truths," "The Mind Flayers," and "The Suzie & the Bloopers." Puns on 80s culture and show-specific references get the most laughs. The funniest names usually come from unexpected combinations — like mixing a mundane element (Steve's hairspray routine) with the seriousness of trivia competition.
Stranger Things is packed with 80s references including Ghostbusters costumes (Season 2), E.T.-inspired bike rides through the woods, Reaganomics posters, Walkmans everywhere, New Coke (Season 3), Atari gaming, He-Man toys, Rubik's cubes, mall culture at Starcourt, Back to the Future nods, and horror homages to Stephen King and John Carpenter films. The show also references Dungeons & Dragons extensively, The Goonies, Poltergeist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and countless other touchstones of 1980s pop culture.
The main characters include Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink), Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton), Jim Hopper (David Harbour), Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder), and Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn).
