TV School House I is an educational game that contains quizzes in social studies and mathematics. The game comes with two booklets (one elementary and one advanced) which are required to play the game since they list all questions and answers. For each subject and level there are nine quizzes with ten questions in each.

Each question has a letter (A-H) which is shown on the screen and the player has to enter the number of the correct answer. The game can be played by one or two players and the aim is to the press the right key before the opponent. If the answer is wrong the opponent gets a chance to answer it. Points are awarded based on how fast the question is answered. Before starting out it is possible to choose if the available time should be ten or twenty seconds for each question. A quiz ends after twelve questions.
