Game & Format

Family Feud Dinner

Before the night, survey a wider circle of friends — best first-date spot, worst wedding trend, most overrated luxury purchase. At dinner, the table competes to guess the most popular answers. A little prep, a lot of payoff, and a format everyone already knows the rules to.

What it's for

Use a wider social graph as the data source — the game rewards knowing how people think, not knowing the right answer.

The guest's job

Compete in teams to name the most popular answer, not the correct one; reading the room is the skill.

The vote

Live point-scoring round by round; the host runs the board and declares the winner.

The reveal

The survey answers — the host reads the full results after each round so the table sees what it missed.

Food & drink spine

Easy team-friendly food the host sets out between rounds; nothing that slows the game clock.

Conversation fuel

"Which answer surprised you most, and what does it say about how well you know this group?"

How it flops — steer around it

Under-surveyed data. Twelve respondents minimum for the answers to feel like a real crowd, not a conspiracy.
