I mentioned on the web site a few days ago about adding pre-made question packs.
I could grab some questions from the show. If anyone else was interested, I would be more than happy to accept questions others may have collected. Or...
If the interest exists, why don't we create our own surveys and poll people using either this board or my website? Maybe no one else is with me but I think it would be much more fun this way.
Feedback, anyone?

I would be happy to send you survey questions from both the show and the newest board game out. I also think that surveying people is a great idea as well. I have the handheld game which comes with a bunch of questions but no answers to them

Here's the web-page that will fulfill every one of your survey needs. The owner of this site has been transcribing the surveys found on the page, from the actual Family Feud Show ever since the 80's. www.angelfire.com/on/jhuhn/ffsurveys/Hope you find this useful! Douglas |

I think it would be a great idea to post survey's on the website or in here. Then we would be one of the '100 people surveyed'.
I'd be up for it!

I may try to get some surveys up this weekend so people can vote online. If you have any good questions, PM me here or post in this thread.

I'll be setting up a form on my website for filling out surveys. It will be a lot of data to go through if 100 people actually respond. I don't know if it'll be ready this weekend or not. :-)
What kinds of questions would you guys like?

I would like questions that work for kids, and adults because my 11 year old sister is just CRAZY about the Feud program. And some of the ones I've seen and used are over her head.

The owner of this site has been transcribing the surveys found on the page, from the actual Family Feud Show ever since the 80's. www.angelfire.com/on/jhuhn/ffsurveys/Hope you find this useful! Douglas I've been taking full advantage of this, making question packs for the presentation software. I have so far made about 20 question packs, reserving a total of about 100 questions for Fast Money. I have each pack in its own separate .zip file. I have also made a .txt file that contains the information that the data files used by the program are missing: Main Game: Just the questions themselves, preceeded by the survey group if other than "100 people". Fast Money: The questions, followed by the answers in order of popularity. To get ready for the presentation, index cards must be made for both the live host and the person operating the software. The number of the cards is the same as the number of question data files, including Fast Money. The live host's card contains: The round during which the question is played. Multiplier--only if the point values are doubled or tripled. Omitted for single rounds. Survey group of 100, if it's a special group. Omitted if it's the standard "100 people". # of answers on the board. The question. For Fast Money, one card should contain all 5 Fast money questions in the order they are presented. Important: DO NOT include the answers on the host's card. On the show, except at the face-off podium, Dawson tended to let the players read the question off of his card during the main game. The card used by the operator of the Presentation Software should contain the round number and the question, as well as the answers in order of popularity and the total possible points for the round. ONLY the software operator is allowed to look at this card. I have even made a few question packs for 4-family sessions designed to mimic Dawson's occasional hour-long prime time specials, naming each question data file GxQy.txt where x is the number of the game during which the question is used and y is the number of the round on which the question is played, therefore, G1Q1.txt would for the first question of the first game (for Fast Money, the filename is GxFMONEY.txt). Here is how I tackled this: 1. I extracted all the data files from the zip file. 2. I renamed all those data files that start with G1 to delete the G1 from the filename. 3. I launched the presentation software, set 200 points as the winning score (because of the bug in version 3.2a, I had to set the winning score to 198 at the options screen), and pitted Family 1 vs. Family 2 in the first game. 4. When the first game was over (including Fast Money), I exited the program and deleted the question files that were used (they're still stored in the .zip). 5. I repeated steps 2-4 with the G2 data files and pitted Family 3 vs. Family 4 in the second game. 6. I repeated step 2 and 3 with the G3 files (only one round for the main game), set 1 point as the winning score (therefore, just one round is played and whoever wins it plays Fast Money), and pitted the winner of the first game vs. the winner of the second game. |

So far, I've made 46 full games with six rounds each (S-S-D-D-T-T). When I play, I set the game for a 400pt. win. Unfortunatly, I've run out of questions from my 2nd and 4th MB editions, as well as the pack from the 1st EG edition. I'm simply using the yellow plastic vintage game board as the host's card (I taped the Feud logo on the front to decorate it up), with a box full of questions. I papercliped two of the vintage question cards together for the six rounds (omitting questions that would not fit in today's world), as well as one of the Endless Games cards from which I pull the Fast Money questions, and soon the Bullseye questions from. Maybe someday I'll get a couple more vintage Feud games and add more, but my next big project will be adding material to Todd's new $100k Pyramid. This time around, I have a vintage $10,000 Pyramid game as well as the $25,000 Pyramid from Endless Games. Should be exciting!

My format for my possible upcoming "Family Feud" type show will be Single-Single-Single-Double-Triple-Triple (6th question if needed--a Bullseye type question with only the #1 answer) and 400 points required to win the game. I will use 4 x 6 index cards, instead of the 3 x 5 size for the main game and fast money.

My little feud presentation was the past Saturday, and it went terrific! The folks had a great time.
One thing I did for the 'board operator(me)' was to take sticky notes, and put single x, and double and 3-x on the sticky part, then put it on the keyboard. That way I did not have to think of where to go,it was there. The whole thing worked terrific.
My one suggestion on the q pack for sharing the answer files, is it possible to put a comment marker in the answer file and after that character, anything would be ignored by the program? That way we could put the question asked, and if we surveyed a particular audience (we did grade school aged children).
Thanks again- now I think I will play with a plunger buzzer. :-)

It looks to me that I have my own personal format, which is S/S/S/D/D/T and first to 400 wins. Fortunately, Round 6 instances have not been common using said format... but then again, one team usually whomped the other. For the potluck dinner game I'm hosting on Sunday, this was shot down in favor of the more traditional S/S/D/T and first to 300, simply because there was a lot of buzz surrounding the game coming up this Sunday. I think it'll go great, and we have a projector available to us on the day of the game, so that'll be helpful for low-vision people and those way in back. I just gotta sit down with my book o' questions and figure out stuff to potentially accommodate more people than I had anticipated. Which is a good thing.  EDIT: I remembered yesterday night after I posted that the game isn't this Sunday, but next Sunday. bah. |

As I was playing with the answer packs I tried the following to put my question.
After I put in the answers and numbers into the software to create the text file for the presentation software. Then I opened it in Notepad, placed a hard break at the end of the line, also placed a ';' and put my question and other notes (like special group of 100)
It worked well. I did test going through the entire pack, etc, and no problems.
Would doing this be a problem, Todd?

Obviously if it worked it must be okay. |
