But one local game not only mirrors one of TV's favorite game shows of all-time with an adult twist, but it has also raised several thousands of dollars for local charities and non-profit organizations.

What Exactly Is The 'Fenech Feud'?

The original idea was developed in 2002, more than 20 years ago, when Maxie's Food & Spirits was still one of the hottest hangouts in Genesee County. Instead of playing out questions answered by 100 average Americans as seen on television, The Maxie's Feud surveyed the patrons of the bar who were drunk or stoned at the time.

After a few additional brief runs in the 2000's at Maxie's, this Genesee County original once again debuted at The Fireplace in Fenton in 2016. This time with a completely revamped setup, and a computer-controlled game board allowing continuous play for as long as the game needed to go on.

Genesee County's 'Fenech Feud' Benefits The Community

Once the popularity of the 'Fenech Feud' was apparent, business organizers and the game's coordinators set up leagues and raffles to benefit local charities and non-profit organizations.

Over the years the 'Fenech Feud' has helped to raise ten thousand dollars for the Old Newsboys of Flint, the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, the United Cancer Alliance, and as of today the Genesee County Humane Society!

The game, hosted by Jeremy Fenech, is currently at The Montrose Pub every other Tuesday. But come fall it will be back to a weekly event complete with raffles and league opportunities where you can win up to $500 in cash! And it all benefits the Humane Society of Genesee County.

How To Play Mid-Michigan's Most Outrageous Bar Game

You can watch a previous Fenech Feud event by scrolling down that benefitted the Old Newsboys of Flint just prior to the COVID-19 shutdown below, but be warned that this is for adults only, and some of the content may be offensive to some.

This was two weeks before the Executive Director of The Old Newsboys of Flint passed away. He loved yelling out answers from the crowd which is a huge no-no. You'll see when happens when a spectator does that as well as a lot of good-spirited inappropriateness. You've been warned!
