Having played and organized Senior Assassin for three separate seasons, I can say definitively that the team name is the first major strategic choice you make. This game is a widespread high school or college tradition where students use water guns or water balloons to eliminate targets, usually over a few intense weeks near graduation.
The game relies on stealth, vehicle tracking, and meticulous planning, but the team name you pick is the identity your group adopts for the entire experience. It establishes your presence, adds a layer of fun, and defines your collective spirit during the chaos.
Why the Name You Pick Matters and Essential Safety Checks
A strong, memorable team name helps define your group’s presence and energy during the game. It makes coordination easier, helps everyone feel invested in the shared goal of staying dry and getting the target, and provides a necessary distraction when the tension is high. From my own school’s experience, the team “The Wet Bandits” dominated one year because they had a name that perfectly matched their stealthy, coordinated style, making them memorable both for their success and their humor.
However, in an academic setting, the name must be appropriate. This is an important lesson I learned the hard way: names that are funny among friends, like my team’s original choice, “Waterboarding Crew,” can still raise eyebrows with administrators or even parents if the context is missed. Many schools have rules about names, especially those that are vulgar, suggestive, or involve references to actual weaponry. Choosing a clever, school-appropriate name that still sounds witty or intimidating is the simplest way to ensure you don’t face penalties or disqualification before the game even begins.
The name should reflect your chosen strategy: are you the pun-loving jokers, or the quiet, strategic hunters? You should always check the name against the game’s official rules to confirm it won’t get you into trouble. Once you have a shortlist, say the names out loud. A catchy name is easy to remember and fun for your group to shout when you score an elimination. You also want to make sure the name works well as a group chat title and isn’t so long that it’s cumbersome to type quickly when you’re coordinating a last-minute drop-off. If you’re unsure, test your final choice with a non-involved teacher or parent; if they blush or look concerned, it’s a clear signal to pick another one. Everyone on the team should agree on it, as a unanimous choice builds team spirit from day one.
