Arnold: Two players face off and race to buzz in first. The higher answer on the board wins control of the round for their team.

Lily: Your team calls out answers to the survey question. Each one on the board flips over and scores its points. But three wrong guesses is three strikes!

Arnold: Three strikes, and the other team gets one guess to steal every point on the board!

Lily: Play through the rounds, and the team with the most points wins Survey Showdown!

How to play

  1. Face off

    A player from each side races to answer the survey question. A better answer gives that side control of the board.

  2. Find the board

    Your side gives answers into the phone. Try to find every hidden answer. The TV shows answers and their points.

  3. Watch the strikes

    A wrong answer adds a strike. Three strikes give the other side a chance to steal the round with one answer.

  4. Finish the showdown

    Keep playing the rounds and watch the TV for the final scores.

How to win

The side with the most points wins.
