Questions like "a downside about eating peanut butter" got ignored by me for the same reasons. Even if I could venture a guess as to the direction of that question (it's the root of all evil? you can't have enough of it?), there'd be no way to guess how the game would judge my answers. With such a feat against me, I let questions like "name something people say about money" slide by. "Love Connect." one of the answers? Maybe they're actually making up the surveys. "The Dating Game" and "The Newlywed Game" strikes? "Dating Game" and "Newlywed" on the board.

"Name a game show that's been around years" (sic). The number 1 answer (worth 60-70 points mind you) read "tail/donkey." "Name a game played at a kids party." Trying to appeal to the game's whacked sensabilities, and since the entire phrase "pin the tail on the donkey" wouldn't fit in the input, I tried "pin tail donkey," "tail on donkey" and other combos to no success. I said "back" and got a strike, only to find at the end of the round that "back stroke" was on the board. Similarly on "name a popular swimming stroke" I said "breaststroke" and "breast" turned over. I struck out fast, because the remaining three answers were Barbie, Cabbage Patch Kids & Chuckie. Playing "name a famous Dolly" I typed in "Parton" and the card turned over to say "Dolly Parton." I typed in "Dolly Madison" and the card "Madison" flipped over. "Name a famous tennis player" had these answers verbatim on the tiles: "Agassi, Ashe, Venus, Sampras, Serena, Navitralova." "Name a section of the newspaper kids don't read" featured business, finances and stocks as three different answers. Speaking of separate answers, I think the developers got the raw survey data and failed to do quality control on it. Pager & Cell Phone counted as two separate answers. Alarm clock was number 2, "Alarm" by itself was number 5.

On the question "name something that beeps to alarm you" typing "smoke detector" did not turn over the "smoke alarm" card. Now, the "fun." The rest of this contains spoilers to questions & answers, so discretion advised and all of that. The last Karn set is given to you, and I can confirm the Combs and Dawson set among two you can get. By conquering various goals you can obtain new clothes/accessories for the family (worthless) or unlock up to 4 sets from "Family Feud" past. One thing that makes this unique from other game show games are a video game staple: unlockables. You can customize your family with names, skin tones, clothes, accessories, etc. The game uses the current format, right down to a 5th round "sudden death." Todd Newton does the voice over for the host.
