Family Feud Questions for Couples

A couples' game night needs questions that start conversation without starting an argument. These twelve boards are about first dates, shared homes, small thefts of blankets and fries, and the things partners pretend to like.

We wrote them for Friendly Feud. Each board has suggested points that add up to 100, weighted toward the answer we expect most couples to say first. They are not survey results. Play as pairs against pairs, or put partners on opposite teams.

12 original questions · suggested points on every answer · free to use for your own game night

How to play these boards without a screen

Split into two teams and pick a host, who keeps this page to themselves.
The host reads a question. One player from each team answers; whoever names the higher-scoring answer wins control of the board for their team.
That team takes turns guessing. Each answer on the board scores its points, and each miss is a strike.
After three strikes the other team gets one guess to steal every point scored in the round. Most points after four boards wins.

Tips for hosting a couples round

Split couples across teams for the best banter.
After each board, ask every couple which answer is true for them.
The online game supports 1v1, so these boards also work for a quiet night in.
