3. BOOKLET

Be sure the Family Feud booklet is placed on its easel so that both players have
equal access to it. The booklet contains 1600 questions, 1 - 600 are regular round
and 601 - 1600 are bonus round. Fifteen responses are given for each regular
round question and five responses are given for each bonus round question. For
ROUND 1 and ROUND 2 there are six responses with point values to be found
and for ROUND 3 there are four responses with point values to be found. In the
BONUS ROUND, you are looking for the response with the highest point total
for five consecutive questions. (For the remainder of the instructions, any

response with point values will be referred to as a “correct response” and
any response without point values will be referred to as an “incorrect
response.”)

EXAMPLE:

• #469 appears on the LCD

• Find #469 in the booklet (Figure 5)

Figure 5

HOW TO PLAY

• 15 choices are available: 6 are correct
and 9 are incorrect

• The object is to find the response with
the highest point value so that you gain
control of the board.

4. TURN ON THE UNIT

Press the ON button to turn on the game. The Family Feud theme music will
play for approximately 5 seconds. You can let the song play in its entirety, press
SOUND to turn off the sound, or press START/ENTER to end the song. All
three options will guide you to player selection.

5. SELECT THE PLAYERS

PLAYER 1 will be flashing on the LCD screen after the theme music has
finished. Press either PLAYER 1 or PLAYER 2 to select the number of players
(Figure 6).

If you select PLAYER 1: you play against the computer.
If you select PLAYER 2: you play against another person.

NOTE: If you are playing by yourself, the computer is always PLAYER 2. If
you are playing against another person, decide before starting who will be
PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2.

Figure 6

HOW TO PLAY

If you want to play a one-player game and the LCD screen is flashing PLAYER
1, press START/ENTER to begin ROUND 1.

NOTE: You do not have to press the PLAYER 1 button if PLAYER 1 is
flashing on the LCD.

If you want to play a two-player game and the LCD is flashing PLAYER 1, press

PLAYER 2, then press START/ENTER to begin ROUND 1.

6. ROUND 1

ONE-PLAYER GAME - Press PLAYER 1 and then START/ENTER to begin

ROUND 1. A question number is displayed that corresponds to a question in the
booklet and the 90 second timer begins to count down (Figure 7).

Figure 7

HOW TO PLAY

10

Once you have read the question in the booklet and identified what you think is
the top response, press START/ENTER to stop the timer and begin the coin-
toss. The purpose of the coin-toss is to determine which player goes first, since
the computer can not buzz in.

NOTE: During the coin-toss, the unit alternates between PLAYER 1 and
PLAYER 2. The unit will randomly stop on PLAYER 1 or PLAYER 2. The LED
will be lit above the winner of the coin-toss.

After the coin-toss, if the computer is selected to go first (PLAYER 2), a guess is
displayed for five seconds before it is revealed as a correct or incorrect response
(Figure 8).

Figure 8

HOW TO PLAY

11

If PLAYER 1 wins the coin-toss, 30 seconds are given to select a response
(Figure 9). Using the number keys, type the number, 1 through 15, that
corresponds to the response you selected. Press START/ENTER to confirm
your answer (Figure 10).

Figure 9

Figure 10

If you make a mistake inputting your answer, press CLEAR to delete your
choice, then enter the response you want and press START/ENTER.

HOW TO PLAY

NOTE: You must press CLEAR before START/ENTER. Pressing START/
ENTER will confirm your choice.

12

For the purpose of game play explanation, assume PLAYER 1 won the coin-toss
and has entered a correct answer choice. Following is a step-by-step description
of one scenario of game play.

1. A clang sound is heard and the guessed response number is revealed as the
number one answer. SURVEY SAYS is heard and the point values are shown
in the box next to the response number (Figure 11).

NOTE: If you have the sound off, nothing will be heard.

Figure 11

2. PLAYER 1 has 30 seconds to input another response from the remaining 14
choices.

HOW TO PLAY

13

3. A number is entered and START/ENTER is pressed (Figure 12).

Figure 12

4. The number entered is incorrect, a razz is heard, and an X is shown on the
bottom left corner of the LCD, indicating a strike (Figure 13).

Figure 13

HOW TO PLAY

NOTE: The term “strike” means an incorrect response and is accompanied by a
“razz” sound similar to the strike sound from the television show.

14

5. PLAYER 1 continues to guess until PLAYER 1 gets the other five correct
responses or gets three strikes. Similar to the television game show, the game
plays according to the popular three-strike rule. Be careful to keep track of
the answers that have been guessed. The unit will not indicate that an
incorrect response has already been selected.

a) If PLAYER 1 guesses all remaining correct responses, the round is

over and PLAYER 1 wins.

b) If PLAYER 1 gets three strikes before the remaining correct

responses have been revealed, PLAYER 2 has one chance to guess a
correct response and win the round. If PLAYER 2 guesses an
incorrect response, the round is over and PLAYER 1 wins.

NOTE: If several of the correct responses have the same point value, the unit
will randomly determine their position on the board (Figure 14).

Figure 14

HOW TO PLAY

15

The unit will make several consecutive beeps indicating the round is over. The
LED flashes above the PLAYER button that wins the round and the score of the
round is shown for five seconds. The player that wins the round gets the points
for all responses shown on the board (Figure 15). For further explanation see
section 10. SCORING.

Figure 15

TWO-PLAYER GAME - The game play is the same as a one-player game with
the exception of how each round starts.

After the game has been turned on, press PLAYER 2 and then START/ENTER
to begin ROUND 1. A question number is displayed that corresponds to a
question in the booklet and the 90 second timer starts to count down. Both
players have to find the question in the booklet and decide which is the top

HOW TO PLAY

response.

16

Similar to the television show, when the players think they know the top
response, they use their player button to buzz in. The first player to buzz in gets
the chance to respond first. The LED above the player button will light up and
the LCD will show the player number indicating the player who buzzed in first.

Respond quickly, because only five seconds are given to enter the response.

If neither player buzzes in before the 90 second timer expires, an electronic coin­toss will decide who goes first. The player selected then has 30 seconds to type
in a number 1 through 15 and press START/ENTER. The rest of the game play
is similar to a one-player game.

ADDITIONAL GAME PLAY EXAMPLES - Following are three examples of
game play based on PLAYER 1 winning the random coin-toss described earlier.

1. If PLAYER 1 selects a response that is not the top response, then PLAYER 2
has a chance to steal control of the board by guessing a response that is
higher than the one guessed by PLAYER 1.

a) If PLAYER 2 guesses a response higher than PLAYER 1’s guess,

PLAYER 2 controls the board and continues to guess until PLAYER
2 guesses the remaining correct responses or gets three strikes.

i) If PLAYER 2 guesses the other four correct responses, the

round is over and PLAYER 2 wins.

ii)If PLAYER 2 gets three strikes before the four remaining

responses have been revealed, PLAYER 1 has one chance to
guess a correct response and win the round. If PLAYER 1

HOW TO PLAY

17

guesses an incorrect response, the round is over and PLAYER 2

b) If PLAYER 2 guesses a response that is lower than PLAYER 1’s

2. If PLAYER 1 selects an incorrect response, PLAYER1 gets a strike and
PLAYER 2 has a chance to steal control of the board. If PLAYER 2 gets
control of the board by guessing a correct response, PLAYER 2 gets to guess
until the other five correct responses have been revealed or PLAYER 2 gets
three strikes.

a) If PLAYER 2 guesses the other five correct responses, the round is

response or incorrect, PLAYER 1 maintains control of the board and
has to guess the other four or five correct responses or get three
strikes.

i) If PLAYER 1 guesses the other four or five correct responses,

the round is over and PLAYER 1 wins.

ii)If PLAYER 1 gets three strikes before the four or five

remaining correct responses have been revealed, PLAYER 2
has one chance to guess a correct response and win the round.
If PLAYER 2 guesses an incorrect response, the round is over
and PLAYER 1 wins.

have been revealed, PLAYER 1 has one chance to guess a correct
response and win the round. If PLAYER 1 guesses an incorrect
response, the round is over and PLAYER 2 wins.

3. If PLAYER 1 selects an incorrect response, PLAYER1 gets a strike and
PLAYER 2 has a chance to steal control of the board. If PLAYER 2 selects
an incorrect response, PLAYER 2 gets a strike and PLAYER 1 is given
another chance to guess a correct response. Play alternates between
PLAYER1 and PLAYER 2 until either a correct response is guessed or both
players have three strikes.

a) If both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 gets three strikes and no correct

responses have been chosen, the round is over and there is no winner.

b) If PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 each has one strike and PLAYER 1

guesses a correct response, PLAYER 1 continues to guess until the
other five correct responses have been revealed or PLAYER 1 gets
two more strikes. (Remember, PLAYER 1 already has one strike.)

i) If PLAYER 1 guesses all five remaining correct responses,

the round is over and PLAYER 1 wins.

ii)If PLAYER 1 gets two strikes before the other five remaining

correct responses have been revealed, PLAYER 2 has one
chance to guess a correct response and win the round. If
PLAYER 2 guesses an incorrect response, the round is over and
PLAYER 1 wins.

4. If PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 each has two strikes and PLAYER 1 guesses a
correct response, PLAYER 1 continues to guess until the other five responses
have been revealed or PLAYER 1 gets one more strike. (Remember,
PLAYER 1 already has two strikes.)

HOW TO PLAY

19

a) If PLAYER 1 guesses all five remaining correct responses, the

round is over and PLAYER 1 wins.

b) If PLAYER 1 gets one strike before the other five remaining correct

responses have been revealed, PLAYER 2 has one chance to guess a
correct response and win the round. If PLAYER 2 guesses an incorrect
response, the round is over and PLAYER 1 wins.

7. ROUND 2

After the score is displayed for ROUND 1, the LCD will indicate ROUND 2 is
ready to begin. ROUND 2 begins by pressing either the START/ENTER or
NEXT button. Press START/ENTER for a random question or press NEXT for
the next consecutive question.

The game play for a one-player game and a two-player game is the same as
described for ROUND 1, EXCEPT: in a one-player game, the player who lost
ROUND 1 will be the first to guess in ROUND 2 (Figure 16).

Figure 16

HOW TO PLAY

ONE-PLAYER GAME

20

As in ROUND 1, the player to win the round gets the points for all responses
showing and the score for ROUND 2 is displayed for five seconds. The score for
ROUND 2 is the sum of all the correct responses revealed, multiplied by two.
For further explanation see section 10. SCORING.

8. ROUND 3

After the score is displayed for ROUND 2, the LCD will indicate ROUND 3 is
ready to begin. Start the round by pressing either START/ENTER or NEXT. In
ROUND 3, the object is to pick the top four correct responses from the fifteen
choices (Figure 17). Eleven of the fifteen are incorrect responses.

Figure 17

ONE-PLAYER GAME

As in ROUND 2, in a one-player game, the player who lost ROUND 2 will be
the first to guess in ROUND 3. The game play for a one-player game and a two-

HOW TO PLAY

21

player game, with the exceptions mentioned above, is the same as described for
ROUND 1.

As in ROUND 1 and ROUND 2, the player to win the round gets all the points
showing. The score for ROUND 3 is the sum of all the correct responses
revealed, multiplied by three. For further explanation see section 10. SCORING.

9. BONUS ROUND

The player that has the highest cumulative score from ROUNDS 1, 2, and 3 will
play the BONUS ROUND. The BONUS ROUND consists of five consecutive
questions, each with five responses. The object is to guess the top response for
all five questions.

NOTE: In a one-player game, if the computer ends up with the highest
cumulative score, the game will end after ROUND 3.

The LCD will indicate which player will be participating in the BONUS
ROUND. That player presses START/ENTER to start the timer and reveal the
first question. The player will have 90 seconds to look up and answer all five
questions (Figure 18). (Since the questions are consecutive, the first question
will be the only one that takes time to lookup.) Input your choice by pressing the
number, 1 through 5, that corresponds to the response you selected and press

HOW TO PLAY

START/ENTER to confirm your answer. The next question number will

22

automatically be displayed. Continue until all five questions have been answered
or the time has run out.

Figure 18

When the last answer has been entered or the time has run out, the unit will
indicate a response is being revealed with the popular SURVEY SAYS speech,
and show the point total associated with each survey response.

The score of the BONUS ROUND is the sum of the survey responses, multiplied
by ten. If the sum of the responses totals more than 100 (before being multiplied
by ten), a $10,000 bonus will be added to the final score. For further explanation
see section 10. SCORING.

10. SCORING

Press SCORE at the beginning of ROUND 2 or ROUND 3 to show the
cumulative score for each player (Figures 19 a & b). SCORE can also be pressed
at the end of the game to show the final total for each player. When SCORE is
pressed, PLAYER 1’s total will show for three seconds, then PLAYER 2’s total
will show for three seconds. Each time the unit is turned on the MAX SCORE
will be shown.
