So simple a "5th Grader" can play it

If you've seen the TV show, then you know what the game is going to offer; you get ten multiple choice questions and a type in your answer question from various subjects and ranging from first grade to fifth grade. It's amazing just how hard some of the questions are.
As you answer questions correctly, you go up the pay ladder to $1 million.
And just like the TV show, you pick a kid to be your helper. Once a game you can peek at your helper's answer or take your helper's answer.
There's also one "Save" per game. Upon your first wrong answer to a multiple choice question, your helper can bail you out if he/she gets it right.
If you get a second question wrong or your first wrong guess leads to a wrong answer by your helper, the game's over. It also ends if you bail out before reaching the $1 million level or you win the $1 million.
The game has the look of the TV show, and Jeff Foxworthy and the kids do a good job of voice acting, but this has very little shelf life.
Sure, you can play it solo or up to 4 players, there's a ten question multi player quiz and a spelling themed quiz where players identify misspelled words.
But these features don't add anything exciting to the mix; this game isn't much more fun than sitting in a 5th grade class with a dull teacher.
Unless you a big time fan of the TV show, skip Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader: Making the Grade"

easy and boring

I made it to a million dollars and won it twice out of 5 attempts. A lot of the questions I could answer on my own without any help. Now my husband knew a lot of the stuff so he helped me some and we cheated with the internet a few times too. I wish that they had other games that a single person could play. I couldn't do the other mini games that are on this disc as my husband wouldn't play with me. I soon grew bored with the game after less than 2 hours of play as I didn't find it challenging enough.
