When Bismarck families think about quality time, many picture a backyard barbecue or a weekend outing. For Julie Landsiedel and her children, that vision became a national television moment when they appeared on Family Feud and walked away as winners.
How the Landsiedels Got on the Show
It all began in January 2025 when Tryton Landsiedel, the family’s eldest son, stumbled across an online audition for the popular game show. “I was submitting auditions and came across Family Feud and was like, ‘Well, you know what? I should submit,’” Tryton recalled. After a long wait, the family received the call in November 2025 confirming their spot on the program.
Tryton took the initiative to tell his parents and siblings, confident they would all be on board. “I called everybody and was like, ‘Hi, I have something to tell you.’ And of course, I knew everybody’s going to be on board,” he said.
The Trip to Atlanta
In March, the Landsiedels traveled from Bismarck to Atlanta for the taping. Their last name proved to be a tongue‑twister for the crew, requiring phonetic cue cards that Tryton kept as a souvenir. While contestants must surrender their phones and limit personal photos, the production team captured plenty of moments for the family to enjoy later.
Winning the Game and Gaining Memories
Against the backdrop of flashing lights and a cheering studio audience, the Landsiedel team answered survey‑style questions and ultimately secured a victory. “The great part is that we have this fantastic event that we did together, and we have photos of it,” Julie said, emphasizing that the lasting visual reminder was the prize she valued most.
Julie’s husband, Dave, opted to stay home and watch the grandchildren, joking that he was happy to “babysit the grandkids” rather than join the game. The family’s win will be aired again on Thursday, giving more viewers a chance to see a Bismarck family’s joyful experience.
Why This Story Matters to Bismarck
Beyond the excitement of a television win, the Landsiedel story highlights a core value of our community: families seeking intentional moments together. In a world where children often move away for school or work, a shared experience like this reinforces the importance of parental involvement and family bonding.
Local readers can take inspiration from the Landsiedels’ willingness to step outside their comfort zone, pursue a dream, and cherish the simple reward of togetherness. Whether it’s a game show, a church event, or a neighborhood gathering, the message is clear—spending quality time with loved ones is a priceless prize.
