Family Feud Facebook Game guide: tips, tricks, hints, strategies, cheats

Family Feud is a fun Facebook game by iWin games, the popular maker of online flash games, usually games which aren't usually for the Facebook platform, but if this game is any indication, they'll have success here, too. The premise is just like that on the show - you start off answering questions that have previously been answered in surveys taken by 100 people, and the amount of points for each right answer is equal to how many people have given right answers in the survey results - for example, if 30 out of 100 people gave the answer that you guessed, you earn 30 points. You use the points that you win to buy prizes, and you earn all of the prizes of one stage to move up to the next stage. Having trouble getting prizes and earning enough coins to buy prizes, or winning certain prizes that you need for the next level? Move on...

First of all, the social aspect of the game is very important, since in order to earn more points without playing more episodes, you will need to either have friends play your fast money games after you finish them, or you will need to finish their fast money games. By adding loads of friends (go to the discussion forum on Facebook's official Family Feud game site to make this easy), you can get literally unlimited fast money requests, and by answering ALL of these requests (including ones that have already been answered, or ones where your friend has already won the bonuses, you will still win more and more money. For any and all fast money rounds that you beat for friends, you earn 5 times the amount of points you earned otherwise. So try adding a bunch of people on the Family Feud Facebook game member page and answer all of their fast money requests.

If you beat the Fast Money round with 200 or more points, you can win either a 5000-point bonus or a win-only prize, so it is important to have friends finish your rounds for you if you haven't made that 200 points, because whatever they add to your total, goes toward your big bonus. Also, you can ONLY get the win-only prizes if someone else finishes your fast money round for you - you can't earn it by yourself, so it is absolutely imperative that you have friends who play the game.

The prize store is the key to gaining levels in the game, because in order to level up, you have to buy all of the prizes of a certain level in order to level up to the next level. The prize store may look daunting at first because there are so many prizes you have to earn in order to go to the next level (whether by buying each prize or by winning prizes, or of course, by trading for prizes with your friends), but if you have a lot of friends (and thus, a lot of people who send you fast money requests that you can finish for extra money), you'll be able to buy prizes many, many times faster than you would otherwise.

When you have extra win-only prizes that you don't need, either go to the official Family Feud Facebook pages, hit the discussion area and put it up for sale (or trade for another win-only prize that you need). You can do this to either make money quickly, or to gain levels quickly. Ditto with any other item you have more of than you need, when you need to win a separate items to gain levels.

That's all in the way of tips for now. Have any more of them? Post them!
