THQ Nordic and MGM have announced Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? For consoles and PC this year in 2022. The popular TV show franchise is coming in an all-new version and will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Developed by Massive Miniteam, the game is based on the popular TV show of the same name that ran for five successful seasons on FOX Primetime, averaging 20 million viewers a week in its first season alone. The success then brought 300 episodes for syndication.
The format of the game show is pretty relevant to this day, having been produced in more than 70 countries around the world.
Watch the game’s announcement trailer:
Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? the game will bring a similar format to the TV show, with an engaging and humorous quiz. There will be multiple-choice questions, true-or-false challenges, and minigames that will test your brainpower starting from the 1st grade all the way to the 5th grade.
The best part about the game show was the underestimation of many contestants about the questions that seem very easy, but tricky to answer. The game itself will have more than 6,800 questions on topics like animal sciences, vocabulary, math, and more are delivered by a diverse, fully voiced, and animated cast of characters.
