Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader

About

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader pits adults against elementary school students in a trivia showdown covering subjects like math, science, and social studies. Players answer questions pulled from grade-school curricula, either solo or with friends, as they race against the clock to prove their knowledge. Each round mixes multiple-choice and open-ended queries, testing recall of facts that feel both familiar and maddeningly out of reach. The setup leans into the absurdity of adult "expertise" clashing with kid-level smarts. The game’s appeal lies in its simple format and the awkward thrill of realizing how much you’ve forgotten. Questions range from basic geography to obscure history, with some twists that trip up even confident players. Since its 2015 release, it’s remained a steady presence in casual trivia circles, praised for its lighthearted approach and replayability. The PC version handles multiplayer smoothly, making it a solid pick for parties or solo practice sessions.
