FremantleMedia Enterprises and Backstage Technologies Incorporated has just announced the success of Family Feud for Facebook, claiming that since its March 12 launch without any fanfare whatsoever, it has grown to be one of the fastest-growing games on Facebook, managing to garner more than one million unique players in less than 30 days. Now that’s certainly an achievement worth trumpeting, and we guess it goes to show just how much folks love games like this, but knowing that Facebook has 400 million plus users, there is still much more room for improvement.

Based on the long-running, Emmy Award-winning TV game show produced by FremantleMedia North America, the Facebook version of Family Feud will not only remain true to the essence of the show but offer an added twist, whereby fans can play alongside friends and family through the Facebook social network. Following the original TV show, which will launch its 12th season in national syndication with new host Steve Harvey the week of September 13th, the Facebook version of Family Feud encourages players to give the most popular responses to survey questions previously posed to 100 people. Players can then earn huge bonuses if their Facebook friends help them reach a certain level in the famed “Fast Money” round. There are over eleven thousand survey questions in the game, with new content added every week.

According to David Fox, VP of Technology at iWin, Inc., “Our aim when creating the game was to embrace the social element of Facebook and combine it with the long-standing principles of the show. Players will be able to interact with others, share amusing survey questions and barter for rare prizes – and what better platform to do this on than Facebook.” Interested in playing?
