Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  cheungmo: To the querier: "Génies en Herbes" is a current game show by Radio-Canada based on the CBC's "Reach for the Top". If this is for broadcast purposes, I'd think about a new title.
1 hr
agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Note for the asker to say that the game title translates literally as "Geniuses in the making".
6 hrs
agree  PaulaMac (X): Agree with Reach for the Top - a TV show in Canada on CBC and called Génie en herbes on the French network, but you probably shouldn't use that name. How about Budding Geniuses?

Explanation:
All of the above answers are very good. This is just another thought. When I was in school, sometimes when it rained during recess, we played this game in the gym with several classes at the same time. (We called it 100 Questions) Usually we had four classes with a team representing each class. However, if you want the name of the TV show, "Reach for the top" is what I agreee with. US native
