How it works
This survey game maker turns your questions and ranked answers into a board you run from one phone. Tap a numbered tile to reveal an answer, press Strike for a miss and give each round's points to a team. It suits Family Feud-style games at a party, in a classroom or at a team lunch. Ten sample games are ready to play. Their points are our estimates, not survey results.

Run a round from one phone
Choose a game in the Game list under the scores, and type your team names over Team 1 and Team 2. Tick Host view: show me the hidden answers to see each answer small on its tile, and keep the screen facing you. Read the question aloud. One player from each team answers first, and the team with the higher answer plays on. Tap a numbered tile to reveal a correct answer and add it to Round points. Press Strike for a wrong one. Press the points button of the team that wins the round ("14 points to Team 1"), then Next round. After the last round, Final score names the winner.
The rules, with options
In the usual rules the playing team answers one player at a time, and three strikes end its turn. The other team may then confer and give a single answer. If it is on the board, they steal the round's points. Agree before you start what happens when the steal misses. The simplest house rule leaves the points with the first team. Other options: skip the face-off and alternate who starts, let young kids confer, or play to a target score. Take back undoes points given to the wrong team, and Clear strikes resets the count. Changing the Game keeps both scores, so press Reset scores to start from 0.

Questions and answers
How many players do you need, and how long does a game take?
Four is the practical minimum, two against two, and teams of three to six work well. Larger groups can swap players in each round. Allow 20 to 30 minutes for a seven-round sample game. For a shorter game, stop after any round.
Is this the official Family Feud game?
No. This is an independent tool for writing and running your own survey-style quiz. It is not the TV show or a licensed game, it uses none of their questions, and it is not affiliated with the producers. It follows the same widely known format: ranked answers hidden on a board, three strikes and a chance to steal.
Are the points in the sample games real survey results?
No. Nobody was surveyed. The points are our estimates of how many people out of 100 would give each answer. Every round adds up to 100.
Who decides whether an answer matches?
The host, and the ruling stands. A fair test is whether most people would say the two answers mean the same thing. Couch matches sofa and car keys matches keys, but wallet does not. Agree before round one whether plurals and nicknames count.
Can we play without showing the players a screen?
Yes. Press Print host sheet for every answer and a score grid. Read the questions aloud and tick off answers as the teams find them. On a video call, share your screen with the host view off and read from the printed sheet.
