The show's logo is based on the logo from the first seven seasons (1999-2006) of the current US version, with the set based on the 2010 version. The show uses both the 1976 variants of "The Feud" composed Walt Levinsky music cues, and for round-winning or Fast Money-winning situations, the Edd Kalehoff composed versions used by the 1994-95 Richard Dawson version is used instead. The graphics come from the CBS-produced Australian version.

Similar to the original (pre-1991) United States rules, families win money based on their main game score. The third and fourth questions score double points with the fifth question scoring triple points and the family with the highest score after five rounds plays Fast Money. Families win 50 South African Rand per point in the main game, and Fast Money is played for 150 Rand per point in Fast Money. If the family reach 200 points in Fast Money, the prize money is augmented to 75,000 Rand plus their earlier winnings.

Unlike the United States version, there is product placement from KFC South Africa franchisee (a practice usually prohibited on United States game shows following the quiz show scandals).

A Ghanaian version is also produced in South Africa, and is broadcasted on TV3 Ghana. Like in U.S. and South African versions, Steve Harvey is also the host.
