The survey-says game for your Friendsgiving
Put the board on the TV. Everyone buzzes in from their own phone. First to buzz types their answer, and if they miss, the room gets 3 seconds to steal.
How it works
Set it up in about a minute. All you need is one big screen and everyone's phones.
Open it on the TV
On a laptop or smart TV browser, tap Host a game. You get a 4-letter game code and a QR code.
Teams join on their phones
Everyone scans the QR code and types their family or team name. Several people can join the same team.
Buzz, answer, steal
After a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown, the first team to buzz types its answer. Miss it, and everyone else gets a chance to steal.
Built for a loud room
The rules from game-show night, plus a few twists that keep every team in it until the last question.
Phones are the buzzers
A big red button on every phone, with a turkey gobble when you hit it. The TV shows who buzzed first.
223 holiday questions
Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving survey questions, from pie toppings to the relative who always has an opinion. No repeats for 8 games.
No jumping the gun
Buzz before the countdown hits zero and your team is locked out of answering first.
Steals
Wrong answer? A 3-2-1 countdown, then every other team can buzz in and steal the points.
Everyone gets a turn
Each team gets one correct answer per question, so the fastest thumbs can't take the whole board.
Double and triple points
The last three questions are worth double and the final one triple, so a team in last place can still win it.
Type it, spell it
Answers are typed on the phone and checked automatically. Common other wordings count, misspellings don't.
Up to 20 teams
Play family vs. family, table vs. table, or every couple for themselves.
Final standings
A winner's screen on the TV, and every phone shows where its team finished.
Together or apart
The buzzers work over the internet, so your teams don't have to be in the same room.
🏠 In the same room
- Open Host a game on the TV or a laptop hooked up to it.
- Teams scan the QR code on screen.
- Turn the volume up for the gobble.
💻 Play online
- Start a video call (Zoom, FaceTime, Meet, whatever you use).
- The host opens Host a game and shares their screen.
- Everyone else goes to friendsgivingfeud.com on their phone and enters the code.
FAQ
Do we need to download an app?
No. Everything runs in the web browser, on iPhone, Android, laptops and smart TVs with a browser.
Does it cost anything?
No, it's free to play.
How many people can play?
Up to 20 teams per game, and as many phones per team as you like. Everyone on a team shares one score.
What do I need to host?
A big screen everyone can see (a TV with a laptop plugged in works great), an internet connection, and phones for the players. The host doesn't need to know the answers; the game checks them.
How long does a game take?
You choose 10, 15, 20 or 25 questions. A 25-question game usually takes an hour or so, depending on how much arguing happens.
Will we get the same questions every year?
Each game draws questions the hosting screen hasn't played yet, so you can play 8 full games before anything repeats.
I don't hear the buzzer on my iPhone.
Flip the ringer switch off silent and turn the volume up. iPhones mute game sounds in silent mode.
