Size It Up, from the Magnitudle site, is a daily check on how well you sense real-world scale. Each of its five rounds fixes a blue reference at true size, say a giant panda, and hands you a red silhouette, here a red panda, to stretch by its corner handle or pinch on a phone until the two look right together. Locking in shows the real proportions and scores you out of 100, for a possible 500. The fun is how often a confident eye misjudges something familiar.
Every pick asks you to judge size or amount by eye or by comparison. Resize-the-silhouette games with a known reference lead, then ones that estimate length, weight or speed against a benchmark, and last a few number estimators for players who like Size It Up's closeness scoring more than its pictures.
The nearest twin: you resize a silhouette against a familiar reference over five rounds, and the pairings can be playful, with an ostrich set next to a T. rex. Scoring also tops out at 500, so results compare directly.
Keeps the corner-handle drag and the five-round, 500-point format, while its subjects range wider, from animals to whole places and landmarks, which makes it handy for anyone who finishes the daily set and wants another scale check.
Works like Size It Up with homelier yardsticks: you stretch an object next to something everyone knows, a banana for instance, and after locking in you find out by how much you missed, across the day's five objects.
A spin-off listed on Size It Up's own page that trades animals for maps: you resize a country's or a landmark's outline beside another, such as Finland beside Croatia, to judge true geographic size over five rounds.
Asks the same question about real things without a reference shape: photos of five museum objects give no hint of their size, and for each one you set a slider to the length of its longest side.
Turns scale into a deduction game: each everyday object you name gets compared with the hidden one for size, closeness and order of magnitude, and a silhouette shows up near the end of your five tries.
Shifts from size to weight while keeping the yardstick idea: you judge how many house cats, bowling balls or other familiar items it would take to match something heavy on the scale, over five objects.
Estimation with two anchors on a line instead of two shapes: you drag a marker to a number, such as the Eiffel Tower's height, between known reference points, and nearer guesses hold on to more of the five rounds' points.
Brings the compare-to-a-known idea to motion: after watching a slow and a fast run whose speeds are given, you judge how fast a third vehicle is going, worth as much as 1,000 points a round over five rounds.
Swaps size for quantity: objects tumble into a container and you estimate the count that landed in it, five rounds a day, plus side modes such as pouring, over-under and survival when you want more practice judging by eye.
Suits people who care more about the scoring than the pictures: five number questions, like how wide the Pantheon's dome is inside, answered on a slider, with up to 200 points depending on how close you land.
From the same site as Size It Up, this one estimates figures instead of shapes, such as the season's tally of hot dogs eaten at ballparks, by picking a number plus a scale that runs as high as quadrillions.
Each of the five daily comparisons carries a maximum of 100 points, so a perfect day totals 500. The nearer your resized silhouette comes to the object's true scale beside the reference, the more of those 100 points you keep, so partial credit is the norm and a small miss still adds a good share to your total.
Yes. Its page links to Size It Up: Pop Culture and Size It Up: Geography, and there is an archive of past daily games to work through. The geography edition has you resize outlines of countries and landmarks, a natural next step once pandas, cans and bottles start to feel familiar.
Magnitudle keeps a provenance record for every shape, covering artwork drawn for the site as well as material taken from public-domain or licensed sources, and it links to a full page of artwork credits from the game. That matters for a scale game, since each silhouette has to be faithful to the real object's proportions.
