Too easy and very annoying. Switching hosts, hosts clapping, the long introductions, too much time between screens and questions. Really a waste of money. Can't believe it was $30.

I have refunded it, here are the reasons why: (To be fair, the fact that I had high expectations for trivia-game with junior school questions is funny, but still, as a fan of the original show and the trivias itself it seemed interesting to me.) 1)The question bank seems too small without the DLC. I played the game for an hour and still had a few question repeats. 2)MAIN REASON - The hosts and especially THE …

Kinda echoing what a lot of the other reviews are saying, this isn't bad by any means it just sure isn't worth 30 bucks. Recommending on a veeeery deep sale, if you pay more than like 10 bucks for this you're paying too much. With the absolute abundance of trivia games both free and not out now, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader really doesn't stand out all that much other than the fact that a lot of the questions …

Found this game after CaseOh's streams. Well, many people here say that the game is easy and repetitive. I agree, buuut... I and a friend of mine are not native English speakers and don't live in the USA. We are playing this game on "full difficulty" with U.S./color/audio-based questions turned on, translators are fully prohibited, and even more, we use a 1-4 randomizer each time the game gives a topic choice :) …

This game is fun to pass the time every now and then. Is it one of my favorites? No, but it is fun and I use to enjoy watching the tv show when I was younger so it does bring a bit of nostalgia that makes it more enjoyable for me. I would probably wait and get this game when it is on a sale.

positive · AI labelView post →That show "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" is rigged. They change the rules on what counts as a correct answer based on whether they like the contestant. I answered "No, I'm not" and got marked wrong. But my 5th grade opponent answered "No, I'm not" and won.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The absolulte unforgivable cardinal sin of this game is that it takes TOO DAMN LONG to get to the next question!!! We are not watching a tv show where they need to pad it for ad sales, this is a game so LET US PLAY IT

neutral · AI labelView post →Ugh! This is why we can't we have nice things. Send these idiots to 5th grade science class, and don't let them out until they pass with at least a C. We had a fairly popular game show here called *[Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_You_Smarter_than_a_5th_Grader%3F_(American_game_show))*, and collectively, the answer is apparently "no, we're not".
neutral · AI labelView post →The game is very well rendered, and a good-faith online adaptation of the TV game show. That being said, a game of 5th Grader to its core is 11 academic questions padded with cutscenes that make the game take longer than it should. It was enjoyable at first, but got repetitive very quickly. Expensive for the minimal content the game provides, and not very replayable.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So... I'm on a quest to get 100% achievements in every Trivia game on Steam. This is one of my last games, so I've played a LOT of trivia games at this point. This game is... ok? The trivia itself is fine, although on the easy side. But everything else is just bad; the hosts and kids are annoying as anything, and you can't shut them up. There is SO MUCH TALKING between questions... it takes 8-10 minutes to answer 11 questions solo. Please, for the love of god, just let me answer…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself isn't too bad when playing for the first time, but it gets repetitive very quickly. The question pool is noticeably small and half of the time spent playing is just skipping annoying dialogue. The difficulty of the questions are also unbalanced - sometimes the game is extremely easy and sometimes it is nonsensically difficult. I also came across a question that had a blatantly wrong "correct" answer: that is, "which number, when added to itself five times, equals 26?" First of…

I bought this game on sale to play with my wife, who is a PhD in microbiology, and while it shouldn’t have surprised me that this game was gonna be way too easy for her, I had still expected way more of a challenge since even my dumb ass could answer everything. The only questions that really proved a bit of a challenge were the book trivia ones, since you have to have actually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It should genuinely be illegal to charge 30 dollars base price for this game If you're planning to play with friends, don't, everyone can just cheat off of player 1's question because everyone gets the same question and you have to literally select it as many times as there is people The game is also bloated with filler that even skipping by will take longer than actually answering the question If you lose even once you have to restart all the way back with there only being like 7 actual…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you left a negative review, you are not smarter than a 5th grader.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not going to lie. I had high hopes for this game when it was first announced on Steam. I was a huge fan of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? when I was in college. It was a very good game show and I enjoyed seeing contestants struggle immensely to claim that they were in fact smarter than a 5th grader to win a million dollars. Overall, the gameplay is relatively solid for a trivia game and somewhat follows the format of the actual TV show, but it does take a few liberties. For…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping for a straightforward trivia game, but this has way too much filler. Having to stop between questions and rounds to do meet and greet sessions with the virtual people in the game is just strange and irritating. What am I supposed to get out of knowing that little Joey Bot likes to jump rope? Remove about 90% of the filler chat, and this would be a decent trivia game. I am requesting a refund and would not recommend buying this game. Note that is saying a lot - I bought it on a 90%…

neutral · AI labelView post →i read the comments here after watching several streamers play this and i thought people were being a bit harsh. i spent half of the time skipping transitions or WAITING to skip the transitions, got an answer correct and was told i was wrong ( ten 10 dollar bills equaling 1 100 dollar bill) this game has (or should i say HAD) so much potential and it has gone to waste. seriously do no buy unless you plan on playing for less than two hours and getting your money back, not worth the hassle

The questions are in their own right interesting and actually fun to think over but you have to level up to earn new topics and trivia questions which is the most neurotic and backwards way of thinking to force on your players when you realize the leveling system is the most boring grind they could have created!

Why do the kids tell you facts about themselves? Why do we have to watch all the stage transitions? It's so long winded, makes for a very unfun playing experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Question asked "What was the 14th U.S. state?". It IS Vermont, the game acknowledged that Vermont was the 14th state but on the map it placed the marker on New Hampshire and I got it "wrong". I even googled to make sure I wasn't taking crazy pills and confirmed that the game marked New Hampshire even after saying Vermont was correct.
