Feud (Mind Loft)

About Feud (Mind Loft)

Feud is a survey game in which the players are the survey. Five prompts appear each day, for example name an animal people wrongly believe is dangerous, or name something new drivers are terrible at, and you type three answers to each without seeing anything first. There is no list written in advance by an editor: the key is the running tally of what that day's players have said.

Each answer pays the percentage of the crowd that gave the same answer, so the common answer scores well and a clever answer nobody else gives scores nothing. You are always scored against the crowd minus your own votes, so you cannot tip the result yourself. A pre-written house pool covers the first hours of the day and is retired once ten real players have answered.

Scores are not final when you finish: shares shift as more people lock in, so your score and place on the live standings move during the day until the key freezes at midnight Eastern, when a new survey opens. Outwit and Outrank are Mind Loft's other crowd games.

How to play Feud (Mind Loft)

1. Open Feud and press Start to see the five prompts.
2. For each prompt, type the three answers you think most people will give.

Tips

• Go for the obvious answer first; the most common reply pays the most.
• Phrase answers plainly, in one or two words, the way most people would write them.
• Use the second and third slots for the next most likely answers rather than original ones.
