About the game
From Hasbro: Now you can bring the hit TV quiz show home! Find out if you make the grade! Play the game that pits the kids against the grownups for ultimate bragging rights. All you have to do to claim victory is answer 11 questions that the average 5th grader knows. Sounds like child's play, but would you know... Which U.S. President is featured on the face of a nickel? What is the heaviest land animal? What geologic era are we in right now? A decagon has how many sides? ...or would you need to "cheat" off a classmate to answer correctly? You may not have all the answers, but know you'll either walk away with the $1,000,000 prize or have to admit, "I am not smarter than a 5th grader." Object: Be first to win a million dollars! If no player reaches the Million Dollar level, the player with the most money wins the game.
