Creating your own Family Feud game involves several key steps to ensure an engaging and fun experience. Here’s a guide to help you get started:
1. Brainstorming Survey Questions
- Choose a Theme: Decide on a theme to narrow down your question topics (e.g., food, travel, movies).
- Think Like a Survey Respondent: What are the most common answers people would give?
- Diversity of Questions: Aim for a mix of easy and challenging questions.
- Keep it Clean: Ensure questions are appropriate for all participants.
2. Conducting Surveys
- Target Audience: Survey at least 100 people for more accurate results.
- Online Tools: Use platforms like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or social media polls.
- In-Person Surveys: Ask friends, family, and colleagues.

4. Game Setup

- Buzzers: Use buzzers or sound-making devices to indicate who answers first.
- Scoring System: Establish a scoring system (e.g., points equal the number of survey respondents who gave that answer).
- Teams: Divide participants into two teams.
5. Gameplay
- Face-Off: One player from each team competes to give the most popular answer.
