While a tasty turkey and a mouth-watering pecan pie are thanksgiving essentials, the day remains incomplete without some classical family games. One of these is Family Feud games. If you’ve been playing this with your loved ones for years, then you know how entertaining it is. However, if this is the first time you’re hearing about it, then you’re in for a sweet ride.

Here’s a short lesson on Family Feud, after which we’ll share some interesting questions that you can use when you play the game with your family this year.

What’s Family Feud?

It’s a game based on an American TV show format that first debuted in 1976. There are two family teams of five members that compete against each other to answer some questions. There’s a twist, of course. The families have to give answers that they think would be most popular in a 100-person survey panel. Sounds simple right?

Things You Will Need

Now this game doesn’t require too much preparation. If you want to be fancy, that’s your call. Get two buzzers and maybe a podium. You can do without these things too.

How Is It Played?

The game begins with one member of each team stepping up to the podium. A question is thrown to them. The person who rings the buzzer first gets to answer the question, if they get it right, they get the point and the game moves on to the next question. However, if they get it wrong, the other team gets a chance to answer the same question. The podium member is not allowed to consult their members in this round; they must answer on their own. Whoever gets three wrong answers loses the round and the team with the most popular answers wins.

This is the most common way a family feud is played, but there are many different versions. So you can choose to play however you want. You’re going to need a list of family feud questions no matter how you decide to play with; here’s a list of top 20 interesting questions that’ll leave your family guessing. You can find points associated with each answer in the brackets. Don’t forget to add them up to calculate the scores to choose the winning team.
