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. things you don't ordinarily see side by side but you know roughly the size of each so you can compare.

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

+1 to that.
the one with the egg for instance was great

Maybe all the rounds could also have a human for scale

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.

The idea is interesting, but its too USA centric

What makes you say that? I'm in the USA and I don't think I've ever seen a meerkat, wombat, or a newborn panda cub in person. I think that was partially the point of the game though, wasn't it?

Fun little game. Had no idea big ben's clock face was so small though haha.

An astronomical version would be fun. Planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

On mobile it just drags. Doesnt chabge size

One finger to pick it up. Add another finger to scale

There definitely needs to be instructions if on mobile
