The Big Board / Re: "Feud" survey conducting advice
« Last post by JasonA1 on June 23, 2025, 01:18:03 PM »
For me anyway, main game vs. Fast Money has way less to do with the results, and more with the questions themselves. When I'm creating games for my family, all the Fast Money material I choose does NOT have to be figured out -- they're questions for which most people will have an immediate answer, and it's a matter of whether or not you score highly. Game players can still take a beat to think "what would be MOST popular?" if they want. The only exception is the very first Fast Money question, where I try to keep the slightly headier or longer material, since the clock doesn't start until it's finished.

That said, if a question I wanted for Fast Money has a number one that's less than 25 points, I try not to use it. Even non-fans see that as being less-than-generous. And this is just me, but I also try to avoid the questions where the number one is around 65, because I think that's a little too much of a gimme. But YMMV. :)

When it comes to the main game, unless the results are very interesting (or personal to the group), I try to keep to questions that have a bank on either side of 90 points. If something has 76 points and the top 10 answers on the board, it's telling you that it's a tough question to play.

And FYI, this is always tough with longer surveys, but you want to be careful not to arrange questions in a way that could tip me as a survey-taker to answer a certain way. For instance, you had "Name an occasion in a child’s life when a parent gets sentimental" follow a raft of school questions, which had me saying "graduation" to the former. Had the sentimental question come before that, I might have answered differently.

The Big Board / "Feud" survey conducting advice
« Last post by gamed121683 on June 23, 2025, 11:33:55 AM »
This question is for those who, like me, have conducted Feud surveys for an event or a party:

(Updated shameless plug: I'm still taking responses for my latest Feud style survey.
https://forms.gle/G1KPFwQpnuW2gqv86)

I always feel like I'm going in blind when I do this, but when dividing up your questions to see which ones will make the final cut, how can you tell the difference between a question that's "good" for the main game and a question that's "good" for Fast Money?

Looks like the logo will slide in either direction the way it did on Baldwin’s version. The one photo at the end seems like Martin can still enter from a little hallway.

Doesn't look like doors for Martin's entrance - tho that might be a promo thing?  Looks like a full riser.

He’s wearing one in the pics.

Alec wore one even though he carried the stick mic.

As much as I loved SCTV—and still do—the cast is at their best doing characters and impressions, not sitting somewhere being funny as themselves how, say, Bill Murray is. I hope the questions give Marty Short characters to play with as Gene Rayburn did.

With this being in Canada, I wonder if Martin could pull a few SCTV names to the show?

You'd never get them all to do it, but it is theoretically possible to fill all six chairs with SCTV alum.
