Virtual Family Feud team building for work 

Virtual family feud games are excellent for virtual team building. They are free, can incorporate work-related questions, be used for fun at work parties, and spark some healthy competition amongst your teammates.

‍

Also, there are no team size restrictions, you can have 3 to 500+ people participate. If your team is on the bigger side, break it up or make a sub-team to play against the other sub-team(s). Long story short: There is a family feud game for everyone. 

Zoom Family Feud  

Price: 0€ (assuming a Zoom account exists) 

How it works:  

1. Prepare questions + answers 
2. Sort answers by popularity 
3. Decide on how many points each answer is worth (depending on popularity) 
4. Invite your co-workers  
5. Create 2 teams 
6. Have fun!  

The easiest way is to prepare questions yourself or use a PowerPoint template to create your own co-worker family feud game. You set up a regular Zoom call and invite everyone on your team. Start the game and share your screen so everybody can see the results. The team with the highest score wins! 

We know it’s not always easy to come up with some questions, so here are a few examples sorted by topic. And the first 2 questions show examples of the scoring (the number in brackets).

Tip: you can also pair up this activity with some virtual ice breaker activities or some fun and quick Zoom games. You can also book a Pop Trivia family feud game, with Scott Topper

May it be to welcome a new hire, celebrate someone's birthday (pro-tip: create questions about that person), or just a nice mid-week session to keep your team happy. 

Have multiple teams compete against each other and create a tournament. Or, if you want to spice it up a little bit, you can provide prizes to increase the incentive. 

Either way, have fun playing your very own virtual family feud team-building game.
