Setting Up Survey Showdown

Two screens, one room — about 2 minutes

Survey Showdown (in the Party Feud app) uses two screens: one phone runs the game, and a big screen shows the board to the room. Here's how to get them talking. (Already set up? Jump to how to play.)

Party Feud room code screen on a phone, showing a code and setup instructions

It works like a TV game show: the host runs the controls on a phone, and everyone watches the Display on the biggest screen in the room. They sync instantly over the internet using a short room code — so the two screens just need to be on the same code, not the same wifi.

Set it up in 3 steps

STEP 1 · THE CONTROLLER (PHONE)

On one phone, open Party Feud, pick Survey Showdown, then tap Start a New Room. You'll get a short room code (like “QAKV”). This phone is the host — it runs the game and the audience never sees it.

STEP 2 · THE DISPLAY (BIG SCREEN) — REQUIRED

On your TV, laptop, or tablet, open Party Feud — either in the iPhone / iPad app or at play.partyfeud.com in any browser — choose Display, and enter the room code. The game board appears for everyone to see. (For a TV: open the Display on a laptop or tablet and screen-share it, or use the TV's own browser.)

STEP 3 · THE MC SCREEN (optional — for big crowds)

Playing to a large audience? A second device can join as the MC screen — a read-only “caller” screen the emcee reads the questions out from. Open it the same way (the app or a browser) and pick it instead of Display when you enter the code. The main controller still runs the game.

That's it — split into two teams

Divide the room into Team A and Team B, and you're ready to go. New to the game itself? Here's how a round works, step by step.
