New Facebook Game: Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? is a new Facebook game based on the well-known game show of the same name, developed by Ludia Inc.


Like the show, Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader? pits players against other contestants  to see who is the smartest (or in this case, fastest to the correct answer) when it comes to answering elementary school level questions based on topics from math to Earth sciences. Eight questions are broken up by difficulty, from grades one to four with two per grade level, and are asked in random order. Players who answer correctly win a virtual cash prize, with the fastest respondent earning a bonus for their swiftness.

The top three players remaining once the initial questions have been exhausted have the chance to answer the 5th grade level bonus question. A correct answer nets the player nearly 10 times their existing winnings. Answering incorrectly, however, costs the player most of their winnings. The player has the choice to attempt an answer or walk away with the winnings they already have. After the game, players are ranked based on their earnings and are shown how they’ve done for the day. Two free games are provided each day, with additional game tokens awarded for increasing in experience level or available to purchase.
Players can make use of social features including sharing of accomplishments via their Wall, as well as adding friends that also play the game as “cheats” — giving the player two chances per game to automatically get the correct answer to a question. Players also receive a cash bonus as the end of the game for each friend they had playing with them. There’s an in-game live chat room as well.

According to traffic tracking service AppData, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? currently has 414,671 monthly active users and 92,802 daily active users.
