Google Feud is a browser-based trivia game featuring answers pulled from Google. It is based on the American show Family Feud, and is unaffiliated with Google.

History[edit]

The game was created in 2013 by American indie developer Justin Hook, a writer for Bob's BurgersonFox.[1]

Google Feud was demonstrated on @midnight with Chris Hardwick,[2] referenced in the monologue of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[3][non-primary source needed]Time declared it "the online game we didn't know we were waiting for".[4]

According to Colin McMillen, a staff software engineer at Google, a very similar game was played internally at Google.[5]

Controversy[edit]

Google Feud became the subject of some controversy for promoting the online game Push Trump Off A Cliff Again!, also created by Hook, after celebrities including John Leguizamo and Rosie O'Donnell promoted the game on their Twitter profiles.[6]

Awards[edit]

Google Feud won the "People's Voice" Webby Award for Games in 2016.[7]
