This review is from: Techno Source Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader - Illuminated Touch Screen Game (Toy)

The game is as fun as "playing at home" with the T.V. Show.
However, there are a few things that left me a little dissatisfied.

Four people found the screen a bit hard to see. Sometimes you had to move it around a bit. Since the questions scroll across the top, this can be downright annoying at times. In addition, if you angle it just Wrong, you see categories that are not available, they are just showing through.

I bought this for a dyslexic with "spelling issues", not to mention the rest of us are not exactly whiz kids in that category either. If you don't spell the word right, your answer is marked as WRONG. If the answer is "John Wilkes Booth" and you type in just "Booth" you are wrong. If you add an "e" to "Booth" you are wrong. Some of the anatomy questions we knew the answer, but NOT how to spell it.

Overall, it's fun and educational, I just wish it was a bit easier for my elderly parents to play with.

I thoroughly enjoy this game. I have learned alot playing it and find it very challenging. It is fun to play solo or with family/friends.
Anyone who enjoys learning and/or likes to play trivia would enjoy this game.
