Gah, I wish I’d have thought of Wendy Torrance for #2. Anyway, I’ve never played this game before. How does it work? Is there a pre-determined list of answers that we’re being compared to, or are our answers being compared only to other poster’s answers in this thread? ---

> [@Rachellelogram](#): > > Gah, I wish I’d have thought of Wendy Torrance for #2. > > Anyway, I’ve never played this game before. How does it work? Is there a pre-determined list of answers that we’re being compared to, or are our answers being compared only to other poster’s answers in this thread? It is like the real Family Feud except the players and the survey are rolled into one. You try to pick the most popular answer rather than the ‘best’ or most clever one. The frequency of the answers is not known until the game reaches the 50 player limit. ---
**Author:** ![Chronos](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/chronos/32/134_2.png) [@Chronos](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Chronos)\ **Post date:** [November 1, 2012, 10:52pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/halloween-feud/639449/30 "2012-11-01T22:52:48Z")
And of course, we’re on our honor not to look at any of the other answers before submitting ours. And yes, sometimes it’s unclear what a question is asking for, but the guiding principle is that there are no invalid answers, just answers with more or fewer matches: For instance, in this Feud if somebody mis-read the first question and answered “Bela Lugosi”, it wouldn’t be disqualified, and if two people did so, they’d both get points, even though the question specifically said “other than Bela Lugosi”. If you’re not sure how to interpret a question, then try to guess how most other people will interpret it. ---
