Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? DVD Game

This game is alot of fun for teens and adults. Great to sit around and play on New Years. Only drawback is that eventually you games and questions will repeat. I know one grandmother that says her grandkids think she is a genius because she always picks game 17 so she has memorized the answers. This is why I rated it a little lower for durability. There is still a ton of fun to be experienced.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader some times not, but it's lots of fun playing the family, there a limited number of games to play, but none the less it is still a fun game. I would recomend this to any family for family game night.

This was purchased as a Christmas Gift and not used as yet.We received excellant service getting it from Amazon
Repeating purchased as a "CHRISTMAS GIFT" not a holiday gift

I am an avid boardgame/interactive game player and even love the show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" --- This game is just very poorly designed and will be returned after only playing once.

Most of the time is spent loading the DVD which is done before and after every question, category selection, answer judging, etc. It even loads to ask whether you said "I'm not smarter than a 5th grader" --- Otherwise you don't get your "winnings".

There are 20 pre-programmed games you can load with same questions and categories.

This game is absolutely lame and I am VERY disappointed.

I played this game with my family during a recent get together. While the appeal of this game is pretty great, the execution is TERRIBLE. It runs VERY slowly on the DVD player, and that would be merely annoying were it not for Foxworthy's constant "funny" comments about your question choice, your answer, etc. The video snippets preface and follow each question, as well as every stage of the game.

Imagine listening to Foxworthy ask you if you're smarter than a fifth grader. Then waiting for the DVD to load a question. Then answering the question. Then, watching Foxworthy give you the same "clever" trick answer to each of your questions. Next Foxworthy will tell you how far along the million dollar prize you are, and then the whole thing REPEATS for the person you're playing against. Finally, imagine shooting yourself (because you'll want to after one round).

If they wanted to make this game good, they would have eliminated or greatly restricted the number of times Foxworthy makes an appearance. Of course, that wouldn't make it worth the $49.99 Amazon is currently asking.

Don't buy it.

This game has about 30 questions on it. It repeats the same questions everytime you play it, even if you are playing multiple games in a row. I was so excited about buying this game, but severely disappointed in the end. I would never purchase this game again unless it was completely reprogrammed with many more questions.

Class is in session with the Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader DVD Game - based on the Fox Television Game Show. Kids can compete with adults while adults experience the fun in realizing how much they've forgotten since elementary school. With actual TV show clips that brings the game to life and offers an incredible opportunity for the entire family to play from their living room.
