Overview of the Experience
Buddy Battles is inspired by the classic TV game show “Family Feud,” and it aims to bring that energy to Lisbon’s vibrant cultural scene. Hosted by Timeless Experiences, the activity centers around friendly competition in a specially designed studio setting. Bright lights, a lively host, and an atmosphere charged with excitement make this stand out from typical sightseeing tours.
The core of Buddy Battles involves answering survey questions based on responses from 100 people, which keeps the game spontaneous and unpredictable. As the game progresses, teams earn points based on how well they can predict the most common responses — a concept that often leads to lots of laughs and friendly teasing.
The game is suitable for small groups of 4 to 24 participants, split into teams of 2 to 4 groups. This flexibility makes it ideal for everything from birthday parties to corporate team-building sessions. The ability to customize questions for special events is an added perk, allowing you to tailor the experience for maximum fun.
The Location & Meeting Point
Starting at the Timeless Experiences Store next to “Buga Ramen” in Parque das Nações, the venue is easy to find for most visitors. The location is central enough that you can combine it with other activities or sightseeing in the area. The activity ends back at the same spot, making logistics straightforward and hassle-free.
What to Expect During the Game
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a charismatic host who will explain the rules and set the tone for the game. The professional staging includes lively lighting and a setup that resembles a real TV game show, which adds to the immersive feel.
Teams will be asked a series of fun, survey-based questions. The questions are designed to be engaging and often unexpected, encouraging quick thinking and spirited discussion. For example, you might be asked to guess the most popular responses to questions like “Name a Portuguese dish everyone loves” or “What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?”
Throughout the game, the host keeps the energy high, with playful banter and encouragement that makes the activity accessible for all ages. The competitive element is light-hearted, and the goal is more about having fun than winning at all costs. However, a prize is awarded to the winning team, adding a little extra motivation.
