Size It Up

Have you ever looked at an elephant or a bus or a building and thought 'how big would this be next to something I know? Size It Up turns that question into an engaging size-guessing game. You don't need to know exact real-world measurements; you simply use your eyes to estimate the scale between two objects.

Test your judgment with each image

The appeal of Size It Up lies in how it makes familiar objects tricky to gauge. You might know roughly how long a car is, but when you have to place it next to another object without specific numbers, your sense of scale can become hazy.

Look at the reference object first, then visualize how much space the target object would occupy in comparison. The target might be half the size, twice as big, or even vastly larger than the reference point. After making your guess, adjust the image on the screen until the scale looks right, then confirm.

Answers revealed after every guess

There are no "right" or "wrong" answers in the traditional sense. The game scores you based on how close your guess is to the actual size. Each question is worth 100 points, so the five questions in the daily round are worth 500 points in total.

The results show how far your initial estimates could have been off. Something that seemed massive might be smaller than you thought, while a familiar object might surprise you with its size when placed next to another.

How to get a high score?

Start with ratios. Instead of trying to guess a particular number, think "half as big," "twice as big," or "many times bigger." This mindset aligns better with the game's mechanics.

Use something you know as a starting point: If you know the reference object, use what you know about its size to picture the object you want. For instance, you might ask yourself how many times the length of the reference object fits into the target object.

Focus on the right dimension: An object might be very tall but narrow, or very long but quite low. Don't let the overall shape skew your judgment regarding the specific dimension the game is testing.

Don’t trust the feeling of “heaviness”: a silhouette with intricate details or a bulky body can easily trick the eye into thinking it is bigger than it is. What matters is the relative size, not which image appears more visually striking.
