Family Feud-style survey game generator

Prepare your questions and answer values before putting the game on the projector. You can build 1 to 10 rounds, then run the board while teams give their guesses aloud.

1. Open Edit and enter your title in Game title.
2. Enter a prompt in Question, then fill in Answer and Points. Use Add answer for additional answers, up to 8 per question.
3. Choose the round multiplier with Points ×. Use Add round to add another question.
4. Set Number of teams to 2 to 4 teams. If you want an answer key beside you, use Print host sheet before projecting the game.
5. Select Start game and use Give control to this team to choose the team that guesses first.
6. Click a matching answer tile to reveal it, or use keys 1 to 8. Use Strike for a miss and Next round when the round is finished.

For a five-minute class poll, choose an open-ended question with several likely answers, such as something students bring to school. Ask each student to submit an answer on paper, without a name, before discussing responses.

Tally matching responses together and decide how to handle close variants before entering them. Use the tallies as point values when they fit the allowed range of 1 to 100 points, and select up to 8 answers for the board.

If you adjust the values or write your own answers, tell the class that the points are teacher-set rather than raw poll counts. The tool does not supply real survey data; it uses the answers and points you enter.

Answers start hidden on numbered tiles, ordered from most to fewest points. Each answer opened during play adds its value times the round multiplier to the bank. A double round uses ×2, while single and triple rounds use ×1 and ×3.

The team in control keeps guessing until it finds every answer or receives 3 strikes. After 3 strikes, choose another team with This team tries to steal; that team gets one guess.

If the stealing team names a hidden answer, it takes the bank, including the newly revealed answer's multiplied value. If it misses, use Steal missed and the bank goes to the team that was in control.

At the end of a round, Show the rest (no points) displays any remaining answers without adding points. Control passes to the next team in the next round, and the tool shows a winner or tie after the last round. For a hosting mistake, Undo or Backspace undoes the last step.

Choose prompts that allow several reasonable responses rather than a single correct answer. Keep the question and answer key handy so you can judge guesses consistently.

• For a whole-class warm-up, run a single round about familiar classroom objects and stop when the round ends.
• For review day, have teams name examples from the current unit. Continue through your prepared rounds, explaining accepted variants between questions.
• For a vocabulary lesson, ask teams for words connected to a topic. Use a single round before moving into the lesson.
• For a club meeting, poll the group about activity ideas beforehand. Play through the prepared questions during the opening game.
