For most of the series, this is done after the family confers with each other the only exception was on the 1988 series where each family member was polled for an answer with the team captain having the option to either select one of the family's answers or give a different answer. If the opponents are given the opportunity to "steal" the points, then only their team's captain is required to answer the question. From 1992 to 2003, the value of the "stealing" answer was credited to the "stealing" family. Otherwise, the points back to the family that originally had control. Three strikes gives their opponents a chance to "steal" the points for the round by guessing any remaining answers. Giving an incorrect answer, or failing to respond, earns a strike. The family with control of the question then tries to win the round by guessing all of the remaining concealed answers, with each member giving one answer in sequence. The family that wins the face-off may choose to play the question or pass control to their opponents (except on the 1988–95 versions, when the family who won the face-off automatically gained control of the question). If neither contestant's answer is on the board, the other eight contestants have a chance to respond, one at a time from alternating sides, until an answer is revealed. Ties are broken in favor of the contestant who buzzes in first.

Otherwise, the opponent responds and the family member providing the higher-ranked answer wins. The first contestant to buzz-in gives an answer if it is the most popular, his/her family immediately wins the face-off. Only answers said by at least two people can appear on the board. The host asks a survey question that was previously posed to a group of 100 people, such as "Name the hour that you get up on Sunday mornings." A certain number of answers are concealed on the board, ranked by popularity of the survey's responses. Each round begins with a "face-off" question that serves as a toss-up between two opposing contestants. The minimum age to participate in Family Feud is 15, although every family must have at least one person who is 18 years or older. The original version of the show began with the families being introduced, seated opposite each other as if posing for family portraits, after which the host interviewed them. Two family teams of five contestants (reduced to four contestants for the 1994–95 season) each compete to win cash by offering answers to survey questions. Aside from television shows, there have been also many home editions produced in board game, interactive film, and video game formats. Reruns of episodes hosted by Steve Harvey air on Game Show Network, as well as in syndication while reruns of earlier versions air on Buzzr.

The program has produced multiple regional adaptations in over 50 international markets outside the United States. Harvey has also surpassed every previous host in tenure, although Dawson hosted more episodes of the show. Harvey becoming host in 2010 increased Nielsen ratings significantly and eventually placed the program among the top three most-popular syndicated television shows in the United States. Within a year of its debut, the original version became the number one game show in daytime television however, as viewing habits changed, the ratings declined.

In 1999, the series was revived through its first-run syndication with four different hosts: Louie Anderson (1999–2002), Richard Karn (2002–2006), John O'Hurley (2006–2010), and Steve Harvey (2010–present). In 1988, the series was revived and aired on both CBS and in syndication with Ray Combs hosting until 1994, with Dawson returning until that version ended in 1995. Its original run from 1976 to 1985 aired on ABC and in syndication, with Richard Dawson as host. The show has had three separate runs, the first of which started in 1976.
