50 Family Feud Questions for Work + 10 Answer Boards

Need Family Feud questions for work that you can use without surveying the office first? Start with the 10 complete boards below. Each has six original suggested answers, and every point column totals 100. They are editorial examples—not employee survey results—so you can host them as written, replace any answer that does not fit your workplace, or use the additional 40 prompts to survey your own team.

The questions avoid private topics such as salary, health, relationships, politics, and performance reviews. That makes them suitable for a regular meeting, team lunch, remote social, or mixed-department event.

Work Family Feud at a glance

How the suggested points work

The points below are invented for gameplay and are not presented as survey findings. Every board totals exactly 100 points, so scoring is simple and transparent. Before your event, scan the answers for regional language or company-specific habits. For example, you might replace “email” with Slack or Teams if that is what your group actually uses.

If authenticity matters more than speed, use 8–10 of the additional prompts later in this guide and collect one anonymous response per person. Group close variants, rank the most common answers, and convert their response counts into points.

How to turn your own survey into points

1. Choose 8–10 prompts. Keep the form short enough to finish in five minutes.
2. Collect one answer per prompt. Make names optional and tell participants how responses will be used.
3. Combine close variants. “Coffee” and “latte” can be one answer if that fits the prompt.
4. Remove identifying responses. Do not display names, personal incidents, or comments aimed at one coworker.
5. Convert counts into points. Divide each answer count by the total valid responses, multiply by 100, and round. Adjust the largest answer by the rounding difference so the board totals 100.
6. Keep five or six answers. Combine a long tail into “Other” only if it remains useful and respectful.

Example: If 20 people answer and 7 choose coffee, that answer receives 35 points. If two answers mean the same thing, combine them before calculating.

A practical 30-minute run of show

Rules for in-person, remote, and hybrid teams

In person

Split the room into two to four teams. Use a tabletop bell, raised hand, or one spokesperson per team. A spokesperson reduces shouting and gives the host a clear first response.

Remote

Share only the game or score board, not private notes. Use the meeting platform's hand-raise feature or ask team spokespeople to type a single symbol in chat. Do not require cameras; listening and chat participation should remain valid options.

Hybrid

Create mixed teams with both remote and in-room participants. Use one digital buzzer method for everyone so the people in the room do not gain a speed advantage. Ask an in-room helper to watch the chat while the host manages the board.

Limitations and workplace safeguards

• Suggested points are not research. Use them for a quick game, not as evidence about employee behavior or culture.
• Let people pass. Participation should not affect performance evaluation or social standing at work.
• Avoid private prompts. Skip salary, medical information, religion, politics, relationships, job security, and criticism of named coworkers.
• Do not force camera or microphone use. Offer chat, written, or spokesperson options.
• Check accessibility. Read answers aloud, use large text and high contrast, and do not rely on color alone to communicate scores.

For a broader activity comparison, use the virtual team-building games guide. For a short meeting rather than a social event, see how to make a work meeting more engaging. The separate office-party question guide is reserved for celebration-specific prompts; this page remains the owner for general coworker and work-event questions.

Optional PowerPoint route

You can run the boards above from this page with a timer and score sheet. If you prefer an editable visual board, the 40-round survey-style PowerPoint game is a digital download with a .PPTM game file, host-only answer key PDF, setup guide PDF, editable questions and points, answer reveals, strike controls, and score controls. It requires Microsoft PowerPoint desktop on Windows or Mac with macros enabled; PowerPoint Online and Google Slides are not supported.

Check the compatibility and download guide before purchase, or browse the survey-style game collection. For a non-work question set with more ready-to-play boards, use the funny Family Feud questions.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real survey results?

No. The first 10 boards use original suggested answers and points designed for gameplay. Each board totals 100. The remaining 40 items are prompts you can use to collect responses from your own group.

How many questions do I need for a 30-minute game?

Six boards usually fit: one warm-up, four main boards, and one final board. Build in three to four minutes per board plus time for rules and scoring.

How many people can play?

Six to 40 people is comfortable with two to four teams. Larger groups can still play if each team chooses one spokesperson and the host uses a clear digital buzzer or chat rule.

Can I use the questions on Zoom or Microsoft Teams?

Yes. A host can read them directly from this page and keep score separately. If you use a PowerPoint product, confirm its exact software and file requirements before the event.

Should I survey coworkers in advance?

Only if you want company-specific answers. Use an anonymous form, explain the purpose, avoid identifying questions, and remove responses that target an individual.
