The value story

The value story

Across all 44 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 67 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. Party Quiz ($11.99, scores 63) outscores it, and so does Bee Simulator ($19.99, scores 37). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

i bought this game because of caseoh. it's pretty fun to play. most of the negative reviews complain about the kid dialogues and stuff, but its literally ALL skippable so you can just play the game. It's not worth $30 though, so WAIT FOR A SALE to buy the game so you actually buy the game for what it's worth. i am sometimes smarter than a 5th grader.

As addicting and hilariously frustrating as the OG show. Every negative review about the characters talking is funny because the dialogue is skippable. I don't mind the kids spitting random facts at me, but when I want to, I zoom from question to question by just hitting the skip button EZ PZ. I like the cute classroom backgrounds each subject has.

Halima is a pakistani spy that's been imported into this game to raise the class's average IQ. There's no fifth grader other than her annoying ass that can answer these einstein questions
