Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 7 June 2026

Uncategorized,

Recently someone chose looksmaxxing as their last place subject, and quite against our will, we had to find out what looksmaxxing is.

Going to extremes to optimise your appearance is bad enough. But apparently the maxxing trend has spread into other area. Healthmaxxing, fibremaxxing, gymmaxxing, they’re all fads that some people are taking way too seriously.

For your team names this week, we want you to come up with something else people can max.

Sleepmaxxing

Sarcasmmaxxing

Legomaxxing

Bookmaxxing

Weebmaxxing

Lazymaxxing

Anything people could take too seriously and turn into a trend will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team guessed Olivia Rodrigo when the answer was Jason Derulo. Which is probably the first time those two have been mistaken for each other.

We had a bonus round question on The Professor from The Chase… and as it happens The Professor himself was there. (And they were the only team to get it.)

One of our hosts had a parent present at a quiz, and they got the know your host question wrong. Thanks a lot… DAD!

A team described The Governess from The Chase as “the one who looks like Miss Trunchbull”.

And we have new leaders in the quarterly tournament, both in total points and highest average.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Similarly, a lot of teams guessed Charlize Theron in the bonus round where the correct answer was Danniel Radcliffe. Had Charlize played Harry Potter, that REALLY would have pissed off JK Rowling.

You really have to take our word for it on the know your host question. One team refused to believe that one of our hosts didn’t take their shoes off right at the door when coming home.

Hot air balloons were invented by the Luft Brothers of Germany. Apparently there were 99 of them.

And there’s been some changes in our quarterly tournament. There’s a tie at the top being broken in favour of the team with the highest high score, and our previous highest average leader has dropped out of the top 12.
