LEAMINGTON SPA, UK - Blitz Arcade (the downloadable division of leading independent UK developer Blitz Games Studios) and THQ today release the XBLA version of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?: Make the Grade for 1200 MS points.

Whether you're a fan of the Fox television show, or just want to put your mental faculties to the test, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?: Make the Grade gives you the opportunity to be a virtual contestant on one of television's most academically challenging shows. Suitable for all ages, every question is based on grade school curriculum but the answers are far from elementary. Choose your partner from one of five new and brainy 5th graders and take on the challenge, while all the time being encouraged and teased by host Jeff Foxworthy and his trademark brand of humour.

Contestants can go head-to-head against friends in the Academic Academy Mode or see who can answer questions the quickest in the fast-paced Flashcards Mode. Spelling Bee Mode challenges contestants to quickly identify misspelled words, while the Homeroom Mode gives contestants the opportunity to play just like they do on the actual show.

Find out whether you really are smarter than a 5th grader, with these key features:

• Up to 6,000 questions.
• 23 subjects to test yourself on, including Animal Science, Cultural Studies, Grammar, Music, Reading, US Geography, Vocabulary, Health and Astronomy.
• Three gameplay modes; Single Player, Local and Xbox Live Multiplayer.
• Earn coveted Gold Stars while you answer the grade school questions on your way to the virtual Million Dollar Question.
