Family Feud style games to play online with friends
Letternerd has no Family Feud game with a survey board, but Great Minds plays on the same instinct: everyone answers the same either/or question at once, and you only score if you side with the crowd. For team rivalry, Team showdown splits the room into two sides for ten questions. Both are free in the browser.
What is Family Feud?
Family Feud is a long-running TV game show in which two families compete to name the most popular answers to survey questions, such as things people do on a Sunday morning. Answers are worth more the more people in the survey gave them, and a wrong guess counts as a strike. Many countries have made their own versions, and there are official home and app versions as well.
Why people look for games like Family Feud
