Main Event1. The team composition must be thirty-five (35) members each family. The game will still continue if one or both family did not meet the required number of members due to the absence of the player(s).

2. There will be fifteen sets of questions (15). Each question is a survey question which has been conducted by the Survey Committee. (e.g. Saan madalas kumain ang mga taga-FEU Tech students during breaktime?)

3. Each question has a corresponding jackpot and increases as the round goes higher.

7. All players have two lives. When a member of the family answers the questions incorrectly twice, he/she is automatically eliminated in the contest. Even he/she is eliminated; he/she is not allowed to go out the event venue. He/she will wait for the event to be finished.

8. The eliminated players are not allowed to coach the remaining players. If a non-eliminated player caught asking, he/she will be automatically eliminated.

10. The winning family will distribute the prize equally to the winning members. (e.g. Family A is the winning family with 3 members remaining, each family member will receive P1667.67)

Frequently Asked Questions

 Q: What if both families did not make it to the final question?A: Same process applies. The winning family will be the family with the bigger number of remaining family member.Example: Both families lost on Question 14 (with P 4500 jackpot prize). The family with the bigger members remaining will win the jackpot prize in the previous question (Question 13 with P4000 jackpot prize). Q: What if both families make it to the final question with the same number of members?A: A clincher survey question will be asked. Five clincher questions will be asked (not simultaneously). If both families aced the final clincher question, both families will now share the jackpot prize. (Both families has 2 remaining members, four remaining players in total will win P1250 each)
