Game play is the same as the concurrent U.S. version. The Fast Money prize in this version is CA$10,000 in tax-free money and if the champions don't win the grand prize, they get $5 a point. As of December 30, 2019, there is a limit of three appearances (unlike the U.S. version, where a family can appear up to five times and also win a car after their fifth and final win). Music score is the same as in U.S. original and studio set is nearly identical to the current one used in U.S. version of Family Feud, but have some differences. Each winning family from the first month would return following the three-day limit change.
