Child Genius (AU)

It's day one of the first ever Child Genius Australia competition, overseen by quiz master Dr Susan Carland. Nineteen gifted children will be tested on their knowledge of science and memory and with the two lowest scorers facing elimination, every child, and their parents are desperate to make the grade.

It's day two of the competition to find Australia’s brightest child, and the remaining seventeen competitors will be flexing their maths muscles and take part in a challenging memory round based on Australian Marsupials. At the end of the day, the three lowest scoring competitors will be sent home.

It’s midway through the competition, and the remaining 14 children face a complex spelling round and a do or die card recall challenge. With three competitors set to be eliminated at the end of the day, the battle to survive has never been fiercer.

The Child Genius finals begin with the remaining 11 competitors facing their toughest challenge yet. There are no second chances as one child faces instant elimination before the Top 10 battles it out for a place in the semi-finals.

It’s the Semi-Final of the Child Genius Competition, and today sees a fierce general knowledge battle and an advanced spelling challenge where a single mistake will end their round. Eight children must be culled to five, and everyone is shocked at who ends up going home.

It’s the first ever Child Genius Australia Grand Final, and the five remaining competitors have just two demanding rounds standing between them and the title.
