Size-It-Up (Game)

this is interesting but not so accessible - I have no conception of how big or small a power station turbine rotor is. I've only seen the pictures of statue of liberty and big ben with no banana for scale. so it's pure guessing, which is less fun.

why not more accessible things - a basketball hoop vs a delivery truck, a chicken egg vs a toilet, etc.

I guess that's part of the game...

The power station turbine one is particularly asinine because the size range is huge.

So they give you the name of the exact turbine, but like... how is that helpful. I don't know random german nuclear turbines by name, and looking it up just... tells me the size and makes the game pointless.

Maybe all the rounds could also have a human for scale

It gave me Golden Gate Bridge vs Tennis net. I have a decent idea of the size of these, but they don't even fit in the screen together. It might as well be Moon vs wombat.
