Questions were developed through a combination of research, analysis and imagination. Strangely (to me anyway), most of the time, they passed. The family answering correctly had control of the game - to play or pass.

If neither person answered correctly, I went back and forth to each team, just like on TV until we got a right answer. I first read the survey question (to let the family think about whether to play or pass), then read a toss up question and someone grabbed the badminton birdie. To get things started, we had 2 people brought to the front of the room (1 from each team). Trying to imagine how I would do in a similar but opposite situation, I would say she was amazing. This put more pressure on Jeremy's co-worker from Japan, Miyoko, who was forced to wade more prominently through some questionable U.S. Sharon and Aric had to leave before the final round, shrinking the team to 3 players (and taking my assistant too!). I had to be neutral, but still, it was obvious to me that the Pronchik team had the most talent in the room. Obviously, I could not play for my own family and be an emcee. Joe and Jim Semetti, competing for question #6Īs with the real game, point values of the last question of each match (in this case, the 3rd question) was doubled. A buzzer would have been nice if we had it. When there were 3 stuffed mice on the stool, it was time for the other family to STEAL. Instead of "X"s showing up somewhere along with a buzzer when a wrong answer was given, I had someone throw me a stuffed mouse. It was unbreakable and almost certain to not harm anyone when it was grabbed. Instead of buzzers for the players to hit after I read the question, I placed a badminton birdie on a stool in the front of the room. To allow the teams to think about whether they would PLAY or PASS, I read the survey question first. In a significant change from the real game, I used a set of separate questions to determine control of the game - instead of guessing the actual survey. To everyone that helped me by filling out the survey, I thank you again - and offer the results for you to use if you want to do the same thing with your family next Christmas or some other time.Įach team sent a player to the front of the room, starting with the captains, to answer the toss up question. Only one survey question had to be tossed due to the wide variety of responses that resisted grouping ("name someone scarier than santa"). The top 6 or 7 answers for each question were used. Another 3 came through other means (details to follow).īetween the Facebook and Email responses, I received 30 results, which were analyzed and grouped, then statistically powered up to a basis of 100 points. Nine of the matches used results from the survey I developed - which many of you filled out.
