Can a bar call its night Family Feud?
Family Feud is a trademark of its owners, so the cautious choice is your own event name, with the show named only as a description, such as "a Family Feud-style survey game". Leave out the show logo, theme music, presenter names and board look. Family Face-Off, our Family Feud-style game, gives you the format under its own name.
Quizado is software that your own staff run, or Auto-Host runs a Trivia night by itself. We never send a host.

Why the name matters
A show title is a brand. Its owners use it for their own games and licensed products, and trademark owners can object when someone else uses a brand as the name of a product or an event. A poster with the show name as the title, the logo or the theme music can look like an official event. This page is general information, not legal advice. For your own posters, ask a lawyer where you trade.
How to describe the night
Give the night your own name, for example "Thursday Face-Off" or "The Big Survey Night". If you want people who search for the format to find you, describe it once in the text: "a Family Feud-style survey game". Keep the show name out of the event title and out of your own logo.
What to leave out
Leave out the show logo and its lettering, the theme music and sound effects, the presenter name or photo, and a copy of the show board. These are the parts that make an event look official. A team survey game with strikes and a points board needs none of them.
Family Face-Off: the format under its own name
Family Face-Off is our own survey game, with its own name and look. Your staff host it from a phone, tablet or laptop, the board shows on your TVs, and up to 4 teams play each game. It plays on every plan, the free plan included. Our website names Family Feud only to describe the style, next to a note that Quizado is not affiliated with the show.
Questions venues ask
Can we put Family Feud on our poster?
The cautious approach is your own name as the title, with "Family Feud-style" once as a description and no show logo. For your exact case, ask a lawyer where you trade.
Can we play the show theme music?
Leave it out. The theme music belongs to the show owners, and any recorded music you play to guests also falls under your music license. Family Face-Off has its own sounds.
Is Family Face-Off licensed from Family Feud?
No. Family Face-Off is our own game. Quizado is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the owners of Family Feud.
Does the same apply to a Jeopardy night?
The same idea applies: your own name for the night, "Jeopardy-style" as a description, and no show logo or theme music. QuizoParty is our Jeopardy-style game.
