How we picked the best questions

Over the past year, we surveyed hosts who run regular Family Feud game nights and asked them: which questions consistently get the biggest reactions? Which questions do you re-use every event? Which questions have you stolen from other hosts?

The 40 questions on this page made the cut. They share three traits: surprising top answers, universal relatability, and a built-in laugh moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are these considered the best questions?

They were voted by real game-night hosts based on consistent reactions. Each question on this page got positive feedback from at least 10 separate hosts who use it regularly.

Are these official Family Feud TV show questions?

No — these are original questions modeled on the format. We're not affiliated with the TV show. But several of these mirror crowd-favorite TV episodes.

Can I use these for a paid event?

Personal events: free. Commercial use (selling tickets, charging admission) requires permission — contact us for licensing.

How often do you update this list?

Quarterly. We add new questions when hosts report them as crowd-pleasers and retire questions that stop landing with current audiences.

Which question is the single most reliable?

Hosts overwhelmingly vote for 'Name something husbands do that annoy wives' as the most reliable closer. It works in any setting where adults are present.

Should I save the best questions for last?

Yes — these work as your final-round material. Open with lighter questions to warm up the crowd, then bring out the heavy hitters.

What if a 'best' question doesn't work for my audience?

Skip it. 'Best' is averaged across many groups; your specific audience may have different sensibilities. Have 1-2 backups ready.

Where can I get more 'tested' questions?

Our questions-and-answers and survey-questions pages have additional curated material. For category-specific best-of, see our adults, work, or couples pages.
