The board is a game, not a real poll

Sir Survey in 9K Game Night uses fictional answer boards written for the game. The points are game values; they do not represent a measured percentage of people. The separate Survey Stats section on this website reports actual submitted community answers. Playing this party mode does not turn its fictional boards into public survey results.

Win control in the face-off

Players are divided into two teams. Each round starts with one captain from each team entering an answer to the prompt. The captain whose matching answer has the higher point value wins control for their team. An answer must match an entry or an accepted variation on the board, so enter a short, specific answer instead of a sentence containing several guesses.

Reveal answers and avoid strikes

The controlling team takes turns naming answers. A new matching answer is revealed and adds points to the round’s pot. A missed answer or an expired turn earns a strike. If you repeat an already revealed answer, the game asks for another answer while your time remains. Watch the active player indicator and the timer so your team does not lose a turn while deciding who should type.

Steal or protect the pot

After three strikes, the other team gets a chance to steal with an unrevealed answer. A successful steal wins that team the pot; a missed or timed-out steal leaves it with the controlling team. Clearing the whole board also wins the pot. The match has three rounds, with doubled board points in the third, so the final board can change the result.

Read community results separately

Open Survey Stats when you want to compare answers submitted on the website. Look at the response count before interpreting a leading answer: a small number of submissions describes only those respondents. Different questions can have different response counts, so a leading answer in one question is not evidence of a broader community preference.

Common questions

Why did my reasonable answer miss?

The game checks the board’s written answers and accepted variations. An answer can make sense in conversation without appearing on that particular board.
