- Match the theme: classic, punny, or fandom—pick one lane for clarity.
- Use obvious wordplay: rhymes and puns are easier to remember.
- Stay family-friendly for school and corporate events.
- Test for shoutability: make sure it sounds good when the host calls it out.
Final note
Looking for geocaching-style ideas? Many of these names also work for GPS or app-based hunts. If you want, I can tailor a set of 20–30 names to a specific theme (e.g., campus, city landmarks, office team-building, or birthday party).
