 Fun, but with ErrorsMay 16, 2010
My family and I have had lots of fun with this game, however we decided to play the game with slightly different rules as the procedure and setup seemed rather complicated for the younger kids. I have discovered a few errors with the answers (e.g. density is NOT mass/weight, but rather density is mass/volume). There are a few others like this, but it doesn't really take much away from the educational value of the game so long as someone realizes that the alleged answer is incorrect. We have fun looking up the topic and finding the correct answer (usually in support of the person who actually gave the correct answer). If there weren't errors, I would give this five stars all the way!

Are you kidding me?Dec 13, 2009
My kids (8 and 15) and I don't know the show. So I judge purely from my first time experience. We played the game with both children. I was excited in the beginning as my little one showed the interest in learning. But then the old one got bored and the little one was confused and frustrated. As much as I like the idea of educational game I was disappointed in a quality of this product. I completely agree with other reviewers that the rules made unnecessary complicated. We had to change them almost from the start. But the worst part is that many questions DO NOT belong to the grades groups they are in and there are even mistakes in answers.
Here are few examples from 1st grade group:
Q.: "True or False? An acute triangle has 3 angles that add up to less then 90 degrees."
A.: "True"
What? Are you kidding me? What kind of math is it? I thought it is always 180. And where did you see the geometry in the 1st grade?
Q.: True or False. President Abraham Lincoln made the Louisiana Purchase.
A.: False. It was Thomas Jefferson.
Excuse me? Is this 1st grade or 5th grade question?
Q.: If a DVD cost 12 dollars and 99 cents including tax, how much money you will get back if you pay for it with 15 dollars?
From what I know in average school in US they learn that kind of problem only in 2nd grade and dealing only with whole dollars or coins.
There are number of geography questions for all grades. The funny part is that there is no subject "Geography" in American school.
It's OK that they are trying to challenge young kids. But come on... Be realistic. They become frustrated and loose the interest very quickly.

 HorribleApr 27, 2009
This game is horrible in every way. The gameplay is too complicated, it's more fun to just ask each other the questions, even the slots where you have to place the used card at the bottom of the stack is poorly designed.
Do not buy this game.

My granddaughter is a HUGE fan of this show and she really wanted this game for Christmas. We played it Christmas day and everybody learned something.
