Mormon Family Feud Survey Results approx. 75 surveys completed
Note to readers: You may notice that very few of these answers add up to 75 results. In most categories there was a huge variety of answers so I tried to choose between 6 -8 of the most popular. In some cases I included some of my favorite answers, in parenthesis, even though they can’t be used in the game. They’re good for grins and giggles. It was a great deal of fun. If you want to play the game in your ward/unit feel free to use these results however if you have the time (I would recommend about a month) it is more fun to collect the answers from your own acquaintances, friends and family. (I heard back from people I haven’t talked to in YEARS!) I received answers from Hong Kong, Scotland, England and other fun places I can’t remember off the top of my head. Each region of members throughout the world will have their own unique answers, I’d love to take the time to collect hundreds/thousands from all over just for fun. Alas, I have a life, family and callings to attend to. In the meantime, thank you for your help and participation and enjoy!
