Running a Survey Says Game Show Night

Nothing beats the energy of a live Family Feud-style game show. Two teams, a buzzer call, a giant board, and a host running the room. Survey Says from DJ Game Builder gives you everything you need to host one — without the studio.

What you get

• Big-screen board with hidden answers and strike overlays
• Team scoring with round and total tracking
• Custom surveys — write your own questions or use built-in packs
• 2–10 answers per question with point values

A 60-minute show format

Block	Length	What happens
Welcome	5 min	Introduce teams, explain rules

Where it shines

• Cruise ships — captive audience, perfect for sea days
• Corporate retreats — instant team-building activity
• Bars and breweries — Thursday "Game Show Night" series
• Resorts — poolside or evening entertainment

Host tips

• Repeat each answer loud before revealing — the room lives for the reveal.
• Mic up both team captains; let the personalities carry the show.
• Use venue-specific surveys ("Name something people order at brunch") for instant relatability.

Build your first Survey Says round — it takes about three minutes from blank page to playable show.
