Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader Number Two on Verizon

The Mobile Phone Blog congratulates Capcom Interactive on their tremendous success with their mobile game, “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?”. The game has climbed to the number two slot on Verizon Wireless, displacing perennial bestsellers that have remained at the top of the mobile gaming charts for several years. The game, based on the popular Fox TV series, debuted as a top-ten-seller on several major U.S. carriers including Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.

"I'm very proud of the way we were able to quickly bring a high quality top-seller to market. With our internal development assets, Capcom Interactive is able to maintain a highly-maneuverable organization that can respond quickly to licensing and partnership opportunities as they arise," said Midori Yuasa, President, Capcom Interactive, Inc.

The amazing performance of the game is the latest in a series of successes for Capcom Interactive, which has seen its sales grow by an astounding 62% over the same year-ago quarter.

Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader? mobile incorporates all the charm, humor and deceptively difficult questions of the wildly popular FOX game show from Mark Burnett Productions in a portable format optimized for the mobile experience. As in the show, the mobile game asks a series of questions ranging from subjects like U.S. history, math and social studies. If a player performs well they can work their way to the $1 million question; however if they falter they're forced to utter the unenviable phrase, "I am not smarter than a 5th grader."
