Obviously the higher the grade, the more difficult the question. Sample selections might be "Math - 8th grade" or "Current Events - 12th grade". Getting a question right earned that square on the board, and lit up the corresponding subject and grade level on the "score card" on that player's desk.

| - Nickelodeon Game Show that was part Jeopardy! and part carnival midway, with a school theme. Contestants had to choose categories from a large board featuring seven subjects (or topics one might discuss in a subject) and seven grade levels (elementary and 7th through 12th). Obviously the higher the grade, the more difficult the question. Sample selections might be "Math - 8th grade" or "Current Events - 12th grade". Getting a question right earned that square on the board, and lit up the corresponding subject and grade level on the "score card" on that player's desk. The object of the game was to be the first to have one each of all subjects and grade levels. A player who did so, or the player who had the most spaces lit on their score card when time expired, won the game and advanced to the "Honors Round", where s/he could win more money (and later, a trip). This wasn't as straightforward as it seems, though. A few "wild cards" lurked behind some of the squares which could change the game drastically; the most notable being the "Fire Drill". If a Fire Drill was uncovered, all three players had to leave their desks (and their score cards) and race each other in a physical stunt (such as throwing sandwiches into lunch boxes). Winning the Fire Drill got first pick of the desks, while second place got second pick and third place received whatever was left. As the game was scored by color and not person sitting at the desk, the first place player in the Fire Drill inevitably inherited the desk with the highest score. This was particularly nasty if one player had nearly filled in his entire card, only to have a worse player beat him in a Fire Drill near the end of the game; even worse, the outcome of some of the Fire Drills was determined completely at random.
