Frequently asked questions
How many work survey questions are there?
There are 16 in this pack, each with a full board of five or six ranked answers and their point values.
Can I use these questions in my own game?
Yes. Read them out as a host, or start a free game on Survey Smash and let the app deal them, run the timer and keep score.
How does scoring work?
Each answer on the board is worth points based on how many people gave it. Guess the number one answer and you take the biggest score; near-misses and typos still count thanks to fuzzy matching.
Is Survey Smash free?
Yes. Every question, every game mode and every question pack is free to play.
