Let’s see how they’re different:
Team Feud is played with 2 teams of 5 people, just like on TV, and with each game’s round starting with a face-off (To see a more detailed description of this game as well as pictures, click on the tab, Team Feud, on the menu button on this website.).
Group-Team Feud, created and developed by Doug, involves the whole audience playing at the same time – everyone is invited to participate, regardless of the amount of people — in group teams, as designated by tables of no more than 4 to 6 people – it’s tables against tables (see pictures on this page showing this set up).
Now, the game can be either played on the honor system, option 1, where the tables score their own points during the game, or by the exchange system, option 2, where neighboring tables exchange answer sheets, who then assess and tally the amount of their own points. This is done once all the questions have been answered.
Let’s take a close look at both options.
The Honor System (option 1)
The game begins with Doug revealing a question that was used on Family Feud on the screen for all to see. Teams then try to figure out the most popular answers from the 100-person surveys from TV’s Family Feud. On a form provided – and while time is ticking — each team distills their responses to what is thought to be the five most popular.
Afterward, while the official answers to each question are revealed one by one on the large screen – which commonly creates much amusement and enjoyment – each team determines their own point values based on the values for each response on the screen. Then onto the next question – it’s that simple! Once the last question is completed, the teams tally up their final score using the honor system.
Since those who are involved with the honor system assess their own points, once all the questions are completed, all tables can wager points for the success or failure for two audience representatives to participate in Easy Money (aka Fast Money) as seen on TV’s Family Feud. They can bet up to 200 points. If the two contestants combine to make or exceed 200 points, they add 200 points to their final score; if not, then they deduct these points (See the video of the Easy Money segment in the Easy Money section down below.).
The 2 teams with the highest scores are officially proclaimed the winners, 1st and 2nd place. Whether your team wins or not, Group-Team Feud is a lot fun!
The Exchange System (option 2):
Option 2 begins in the same manner as the honor system approach, but with one difference. Instead of teams assessing their own points after each question, the entire game is played with teams answering all the questions on their sheets, followed with the answer sheets being exchanged with those from other teams. This is when the official answers to each question are revealed as a countdown, one by one on the large screen, at which time the neighboring teams assess the points for each response and tabulates the final score for the other teams – again, it’s that simple!
