I enjoyed this game. Nice graphics! Was fun to guesstimate and then eventually learn something new :)

Very creative idea. The one about population I got in one try, but the one about money in 7. It was a short and fun quiz game, really enjoyed it. A good and simple idea for expansion would be to add a few more landmarks like the ISS.

Cool and fresh idea! I have to say I learn a lot after playing! haha

Absolutely adore the style! A little info box in the corner containing the selected length would've been a great addition imo, always a fan of information lol

Had to try yours after you said our ideas were similar, honestly I much prefer the style of your game. The black & white with an orange line is just so clean. Only criticism would be the lack of any music or sound effects, but that's not really a major thing.

Interesting idea about guestimating scale of things. One that I've always found interesting is how many different possible orders you can get with a deck of cards. 52! is a ridiculously big number

It's funny you mention this, I plan to add a  more abstract "chapter" on probabilities and big numbers, not related to objects scales like the current game : chances to throw 5 dices doing only sixes, chances to die from a shark, chances to win the lottery...

Neat! Congrats on completing your jam - just 48 hours, too!

Don't add more questions. Just do the first five, one at a time, and share it on tumblr. Let that sink in for folks. Elon Musk is a monster. Billionaires are inherently unethical. 

Political statements aside, this is a neat little project. Not so much a "game" as a quiz, and a fun, interactive way to teach people random facts. Or make statements!

I'd love to see if you could adapt this sort of thing to a learning tool for anyone. I'm not going to quickly forget how long a fingernail could grow in my lifetime lol.

Great job on your submission!

Very clever way to incorporate the theme! I loved the graphics too.

I like the concept! The controls could use a bit of work. I thought it was a button instead of a hover-over thing at first. I also wish the acceptable margin for the correct answer was a bit tighter. I love the scales you used and I wish there were more objects for reference. I also loved the different types of questions you had like the crowd questions.

Overall, great idea! I hope you keep working on it and flesh it out some more.

It was an interesting game that fit the theme well!

Such a nice idea, I liked it so much that I wanted to play more questions.

Really original concept! It was fun guessing with friends and seeing who was right!
