What Is Family Feud & How Does It Work?

Family Feud usually consists of two families or teams who compete with each other to correctly guess the most popular responses to Family Feud survey questions in order to win! For every answer a team guesses correctly, that team receives a certain number of points that corresponds to the number of surveyed people who gave that answer. So if 36 people said a cat was their favorite pet, and your team guessed “cat,” you would get 36 points. The first team to reach 300 points, wins!

How to Have a Family Feud Game Night at Home

In terms of set-up, lots of families prefer to turn their chairs or couches so they are facing the other team. Next, choose a host and have them sit at the front with a scorecard and the Family Feud questions. You’ll need to have the same number of people on each team, so if your family is odd-numbered choose a parent to dole out the questions! And one more thing: Make sure you find something to use as a buzzer before you start your game! They can be from a free app or even a squeaky dog toy.

Here are the Family Feud game night rules:

Have each team select a Team Captain. Then ask each Team Captain to come to the front of the room, each bringing a buzzer with them. After that, the host reads the first question. Next, the Team Captains face-off by trying to beat each other to hitting their buzzer and answering the question first. The Team Captain who hits the buzzer first has five seconds to give an answer that is listed on the Family Feud questions and answers sheet. If the first Team Captain fails to give a correct answer, the other Team Captain gets a chance to guess. The team whose Captain gives a correct answer first gets the chance to play this round of the game. If their team doesn’t want to play, they can pass the chance to play the round to the opposing team. The team who chooses to play this round gets to guess the remaining top answers to the question. Each team member gets a chance to give an answer, one by one, until they’ve found all the answers or gotten three wrong answers (or strikes). If they clear the board and get all the top answers, they get the total number of points for their answers. If they get three strikes during the round, the second team gets one chance to steal the points. If the second team gives a correct answer, the host adds the number of points (Important note: the correct points for each answer are listed in parentheses next to the answer). If the opposing team fails, the first team keeps their points for that round. At the end of the round, the host should add up each team’s points and write them on the scorecard. To begin the second round, a new member from each team must come up to the front of the room and prepare to answer the next question.

Family Feud Fast Money Round and Questions

At the end of the game, there’s a special Fast Money round where one family has the chance to answer five final questions for an additional 300 points. Think of it like a bonus round for the winning team, so it’s up to you if you want to play this special round at the end of your Family Feud game night or if you want to skip it. If you do add it on, you can use any leftover Family Feud survey questions and answers for it—you don’t need specific Fast Money questions in order to play. Now that you know all the rules and how to play, check out our Family Feud questions and answers below to host your own game night!
