How Guess the Size works

Resize to true scale

Each round shows a reference object in blue and a mystery object in red. Drag, pinch, scroll or use the slider to resize the red silhouette, then lock in your guess. Both silhouettes keep their real width and height, so the only thing you control is the scale.

Fair logarithmic scoring

Your error is measured on a logarithmic scale, so a guess twice too big costs exactly as much as a guess twice too small. Landing within 3% of the true size earns a perfect 100. Each round is worth up to 100 points, so a daily puzzle is worth 500.

22 categories, 700+ objects

Explore planets, animals, buildings, vehicles, food and coins, plus MCU, DC, Star Wars ships and Transformers. Real objects use published or typical measurements; fictional sizes are approximate and depend on the depicted version.

Daily puzzle, challenges and Workshop

Everyone gets the same five comparisons every day, with a new puzzle at 00:00 UTC. Unlimited mode lets you play any category, challenge links let friends replay your exact set, and in the Workshop you can publish your own comparisons with custom objects.

Guess the Size FAQ

How do I play Guess the Size?

You see two silhouettes: the blue one is shown at its real size, the red one starts at a random scale. Resize the red object by dragging, pinching, scrolling over it or using the slider and the + and − buttons, then press Lock in. The game animates the red object to its true size and shows how far off you were.

How is the score calculated?

The score depends on the ratio between your guess and the real size, measured on a logarithmic scale. Within 3% you get 100 points; the further off you are, the fewer points you earn, and a guess six times too big or too small scores zero. Being 50% too big and 33% too small are treated as the same mistake.

Are the sizes and proportions accurate?

Real objects use published measurements or typical adult sizes. Silhouettes are simplified for comparison. MCU, DC, Star Wars ships and Transformers use approximate, version-specific dimensions; fictional figures should not be treated as universal canon.

When does the daily puzzle reset?

Every day at 00:00 UTC. Everyone in the world gets the same five comparisons, so you can compare scores with friends. Your progress, statistics and streak are saved in your browser.

Can I create my own comparisons?

Yes. Build a set of 3 to 20 rounds using catalog objects or your own named objects, dimensions and silhouettes. Publishing costs 50 coins and playing is free. The author earns 1 coin for a like from each unique other signed-in account after that player completes the set; plays alone do not earn coins.

Does Guess the Size work on phones?

Yes. On touch screens you can pinch or drag to resize and use the large slider and buttons; on a computer you can also use the mouse wheel and the arrow keys (Shift for fine steps, Enter to lock in). No download or sign-up is needed to play.
