Common questions
Are family questions the same as questions for children?
Not exactly. Family-friendly means non-graphic and suitable for a mixed group; an adult should still choose what is appropriate for a particular child.
How can a family keep score?
You do not need to. If you want a competition, award one point whenever a player correctly predicts which option will be more popular.
