Survey Says, online for teams

Survey Says puts a prompt on screen with its most popular answers hidden on a board. Every team types as many guesses as it likes; anything on the board flips over and pays whichever team got it first. The top answer pays the most. There are no strikes and no clock, so nobody is ever sitting out.

How a round works

  1. A board of hidden answers. A prompt goes up with the most popular answers hidden on a board.
  2. Guess as much as you like. Every team types guesses - anything on the board flips over and pays whoever got it first.
  3. Top answers pay most. From 10 for the top answer down to 2. No strikes, no clock.

Questions

What if two teams guess the same answer?

The first team to get it scores it, and the second is told someone got there first - so teams keep guessing for what's left.

Do guesses have to match exactly?

Each answer accepts the common ways people phrase it, so "coffee" finds "Coffee machine".
