The formats worth knowing
“Games like Family Feud” usually means one of four things: an online survey game, a DIY version you build yourself, a physical party box, or a general trivia night. They're aimed at very different amounts of preparation, so pick by how much time you have before people arrive.
Building your own version
The homemade route — a spreadsheet, a slide deck and a friend willing to be the host — gives you total control and questions about your own family or team. It also takes an evening to prepare, and someone has to sit out to run it.
If that trade sounds fine, steal the question structure from our question bank: a prompt, five or six answers, and points that add up to roughly a hundred.
How the options compare
| Option | Format | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Survey Smash | Free browser survey game | Groups who want to start now, remote or in person | No download or account, 2–6 players, bots available. No custom questions yet. |
| DIY slide-deck version | Slides + a human host | Weddings, office events, inside jokes | Fully custom, but takes hours to build and needs someone to run it. |
| Physical party boxes | Cards and a board | In-person family gatherings, no screens | Great tactile feel, costs money and the questions run out. |
| Trivia night apps | Right-or-wrong quizzing | Groups who like facts more than opinions | Different instinct — knowledge, not crowd-reading. |
