In each game, there's 10 questions, 1 for each Grade Skill from 1st to 5th ranging from Easiest to Hardest. Should that player ace the exam, that player gets a 6th Grade Question worth the final winnings. At any point during the game, the player sees that things get too tough, they can resort to one of 3 cheat powerups that have a single use or drop out and take the money earned, provided that the player tells the world that they are not smarter than a 5th Grader by speaking to the camera directly.

Cookie Masterson: ...
[Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Stage] *Audience Cheers as Cookie enters the classroom set with the Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Theme playing and the Generic Alliance Panelists enter to which the hosts greets them*
Cookie Masterson: Hello. Panelists!
Alliance Forces: Hello!
Cookie Masterson: Hello. I'm Cookie Masterson and welcome to the return of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader! The show where player can prove that they're smarter than a 5th Grader and when they do, they can win up to $5,000!
*Audience Cheers*
Cookie Masterson: And here's today's guest panel! Alliance Footman, Archer, Knight, Cleric and Conjurer. *Audience cheers the panel* Let's welcome the first player who is back in school! She's a 17 year old who moved from the USA to England after her pilot adventure has not seen the light of day in 33 years but she is back, thanks to the Narrator's knowledge of Lost Media! Her kindness can make a sour face turn into a happy one! Please welcome, Ms. Carrie Ravencroft!
Carrie enters the Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader school set Hello, everyone!
*Carrie's 10 year old photo is shown* Cookie Masterson: Ms. Carrie Ravencroft, I take this is your 10 year old picture?
Carrie enters the Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader school set I guess you can say something like that but its good to be back after over 30 years. After my encounter with Vampire and his minions since the 1990s and all. *chuckles*
Cookie Masterson: Besides making people laugh at a good joke. It says here you're good with science.
You know it! But this feels odd being back in school all so sudden. Its like I'm the 1990s all over again!
Cookie Masterson: Well, this is Nickelodeon Studios. As you can see these Alliance NPCs who are intern panels will be taking the same quiz as you and you'll be likely to cheat off of them when the situation calls for it. Pick a Panel, any panelist.
I like the Knight.
Cookie Masterson: Let's bring the Alliance Knight here!
The Alliance Knight dismounts and approaches the podium
Alliance Knight: I don't see any orcs here.
Orcs *laughs* I put them down in Warcraft 1 as the Alliance, you've got to be joking. Carrie humored the audience
Cookie Masterson: Okay. Let's put the board into motion as we go over this game.
Cookie Masterson: We have 10 Categories ranging from 1st to 5th Grade Subjects. The First correct answer is worth $10 and the 10th Question is worth $2,500. *Audience Cheers* Should you answer all 10 Questions, we'll give you a 6th Grade Question & if you get it right, you'll win $5,000! To help you succeed, you have 3 Cheats that save yourself... You can Peek at the panelist's answer, if you like it you can use that or pick another answer...
You can Copy your Panelist's answer in which you must go with what the Panelist has picked...
Also, once during the game you have a Saver Cheat meaning if you answer wrong but your panelist answers correctly, you're still in the game...
Use them sparingly because each cheat power up is good for a single use and once they're gone, you'll need to rely on your skills for the rest of the game.
Last but not least, if this quiz proves to be too hard, you can Drop Out of School and take what you earned but on one condition, you look into that camera and tell the world you are NOT smarter than a 5th Grader. Is that okay with you?
Sounds good. But I do sometimes wonder, why can't Orcs and Humans set aside their differences?
Cookie Masterson: Sounds like you seen too many Don Bluth Movies. Let's play the game! *Audience Cheers* Pick a Category for $100.
1st Grade Numbers.
Cookie Masterson: 1st Grade Numbers... For $100. "Which Number has a 4 in it?" = 15 = 24 = 18
Using Power Ups on such easy questions is a waste... 24 *locks her answer*
Cookie Masterson: For $100, 24 is correct! Pick your next category.
1st Grade Numbers.
Cookie Masterson: 1st Grade Measurements... For $250. "Which which cup faction means half full?" = 1 Cup = 1/4 Cup = 1/2 Cup
I'd say 1/2 Cup.
Cookie Masterson: Right again for $250! Each Panel can help you 2 questions at a time so choose another panelist.
The Archer.
The Alliance Crossbowmen approaches the podium
Alliance Crossbowman: I hope I don't have to move the target back 8 spaces and perform a trick shot. Audience laughs at the Robin Hood joke.
Cookie Masterson: Select a category for $300.
2nd Grade Logic.
Cookie Masterson: Okay... For $300. "Complete this Sequence Trigger... A2, B4, C6 then what?" = A6 = D8 = C4
D8... and I know that 2B, 9S and 2A as humans sounds lovely.
Cookie Masterson: You're trying to joke around with us, aren't you. But B8 is right! $300 is yours! Select another Category.
2nd Grade Spelling.
Cookie Masterson: 2nd Grade Spelling it is. for $400... "Which word has the short a Sound" = Cane = Cot = Can
Can.
Cookie Masterson: Can is Right for $400. Everyone gets a Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Ice Pop. More Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grade when we return!
Coming Up... When Carrie Ravencroft goes for $500, she feels these alliance minis are too hot to handle! Will her wits work out for her or leave her weak? Find out next!

Cookie Masterson: ...
[Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Stage] *Panelists*
*Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Theme is played, Return from Commercial* Cookie Masterson: Welcome back to Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader. $500 is what Carrie is playing for. Select another Panelist and category.
The Alliance Footman is nice. 3rd Grade Life Science
*Grade 3: Life Science* Cookie Masterson: Let's bring out that alliance footman out for 3rd Grade Life Science as this deals with Plants & animals... "Which animal is considered an Omnivore" = Tiger = Human = Dolphin You should know that what happens after this question, you the least you can leave here is $500.
Well, considering mermaids long to be human, many try but few succeed in culture.
Alliance Footman: That's entirely up to the Narrator to decide.
Cookie Masterson: Sound vague but you picked human as your answer but that also means you're right! This next question is more like a free shot as the worst that can happen is that you leave with $500.
Okay then... 3rd Grade Visual Art
Cookie Masterson: 3rd Grade Visual Art then... For $750... Complete this Pattern: Pink Square, ???, Pink Square Red Circle, ???, Red Circle = Red Circle & Blue X = Red Circle & Pink Square = Red Circle & Green Triangle
*pauses* Oh my goodness... I'm going to have to Peek. *Uses Peek*
Cookie Masterson: Lets see what the Alliance Footman wrote down... "He said Red Circle & Pink Square". Is that okay with you?
Yes.
Cookie Masterson: Right again! You got $750! 2 Panelists remain as we'll see what happens after this!
= Categories 1st Grade Numbers & Measurement (All Cleared) 2nd Grade Logic & Spelling (All Cleared) 3rd Grade Life Science & Visual Arts (All Cleared) 4th Grade Spelling & History (All Cleared) 5th Grade Long Division & Fractions
*Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Theme is played, Return from Commercial* Cookie Masterson: Welcome back to Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader. $1,000 is what Carrie is playing for. Select another Panelist and category.
The Alliance Cleric is nice. 4th Grade Spelling
*Grade 4: Spelling* Cookie Masterson: Let's bring out that alliance cleric out for 4th Grade Spelling. Write down how you spell Education.
*Writes down E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N: Education and locks her answer*
Alliance Cleric: She has good eyes.
Cookie Masterson: True enough but she's also right for $1,000! Pick another Category...
4th Grade History
Cookie Masterson: 4th Grade History for $1,500... Who was the first Explorer to sail around the world. = Christopher Columbus = Ferdinad Magellan = Vaco de Gama
I'm going to go with Ferdinad Magellan.
Cookie Masterson: Okay. You locked your answer in. Magellan is right for $1,500! The Good news is you reached $1,500 but the bad news is the most challenging questions are next as the Conjurer is the last panelist.
I'll pick 5th Grade Long Division.
Cookie Masterson: For $2,000. Here's the 5th Grade Long Division question. You still have your Save and Copy... "Solve this Question... 412 / 85 = ???" = 5 R72 = 6 R63 = 4 R72
I'll say 4 R72 *Locks in*.
All that sweat from a Sherlock Dectective PC Game must have paid off because you got $2,000! Your last question is 5th Grade Fractions... "What is 1 1/3 + 1/4 = ???" = 2 2/7 = 1 7/12 = 3 7/12
Alliance Conjuerer: You're better than this than I am...
Its 1 7/12 *Locks in*.
Cookie Masterson: Even someone is right as you are know it! $2,500 is yours! Carrie, you're just crushing us fincalialy here. You know what's next as its a 6th Grade Question... Here's the Deal, no one can help you on this one and your remaining cheats are useless here. You can see the Category but NOT the question because when you see the Question, you must answer it and if you get it wrong, you lose $2,000. The Category for the 6th Grade Question is... Complex Numbers. If you want to drop out with $2,500, now is the best time to do it or should you opt to see the question, you're going All In.
*Audence and Panelists shout out suggestions* Since I enjoy science, but if I get this wrong I'm finished. So I am Out. *Rings in her Podium to walk away*
*Audience cheers* Carrie Ravencroft Final Score: $2,500 (Drop Out) Cookie Masterson: $2,500 is all yours, Ms. Ravencroft... Here is what the question was if you would have went all in: "What is the area of a Triangle that has a Base of 12 and Height of 9..." You could have done it all but chose to take the safe route. Now remember our agreement, look into that camera, Carrie.
I may have survived vampire and his henchmen of bad monsters in the early 1990s, I have seen, saw and conquered the majority of my Assessment Tests in England... and I may be a fan of Dr. Wayne Szalinski's inventive works. but I am NOT Smarter than a 5th Grader.
*Audience cheers*
