40 New Year’s Eve Family Feud Questions and Answers

How to play New Year’s Eve Family Feud

  1. Split into two teams and pick a host who sees the answers.
  2. One player from each team faces off. The host reads the question.
  3. The first to give an answer that is on the board wins the face-off for their team.
  4. That team guesses the rest, one player at a time. Three wrong answers and they are out.
  5. The other team then gets one guess to steal the round’s points.

Write the answers on sticky notes and cover them on a wall, or just read them out as they are guessed. A wooden spoon on a pot lid makes a fine buzzer.

The answers below are ranked by our own guess at what most people would say. They are Family Feud-style, not official, and not from a real survey. Points are out of 100.

Questions

How do you play New Year’s Eve Family Feud at home? +

Split into two teams. Read a question; one player from each team answers, and the team with the higher-ranked answer chooses to play or pass. That team guesses the remaining answers until they get three wrong, then the other team gets one guess to steal all the points.

Where do the answers come from? +

These are our own ranked answers, written to match what most groups would say. They are not from a real survey. If your group disagrees with the order, that is half the fun: let the host decide.

How many points is each answer worth? +

Each answer has points out of 100 next to it, like the TV show. Add them up for the team that wins the round. Double the points for the last round to keep the game close.

Is this the official Family Feud? +

No. This is an unofficial, Family Feud-style game for home use. It is not affiliated with the TV show.
