Make the Grade

An educational game show where kids get a chance to test their knowledge.

Three contestants have to answer questions, but instead of earning points, you earned icons for subject and education level. The first player to get all the icons, or to have the most before time is up is the winner. The way to win is to answer questions on the board in an X pattern, or to complete one complete row and one complete column. However, since there is compeition, most of the time, it's to try to answer as many questions as possible. However, the board had other spaces as well.

? - a regular question space, whoever rings in first and answers the question gets the space.

TAKE - Player gets to take a space from another player

LOSE - Player loses a space they claimed.

FREE - Player in control of board gets the space free.

FIRE - A fire drill space, all contestants compete in a physical challenge and whoever finishes first gets their choice at which podium they get, followed by the second place player and then the third. This could really tip the scales should someone with very few spaces finishes first and gains the lead.

The winner of the maingame gets to go to the "Honors Round" where they have to answer questions from each subject and get them all correct before time runs out. A big prize is won if completed successfully.
