Measurement sources & artwork credits

A clear measurement needs a clear definition.

Measurements and artwork

The game records two kinds of sources separately: references for the stated size, and credits for the artwork. Each round names the measurement and includes a model, version or part of the subject where relevant.

Animals and landmarks

Animal sizes use published measurements or stated estimates, rather than measurements of every individual. Read whether a round uses standing height, shoulder height, body length or another span.

A landmark's measurement depends on its version and included parts. A statue body differs from a statue with its pedestal, and an antenna can change a tower's height. The game includes a historical Eiffel Tower reference using the 2000–2021 antenna version; it is labelled as historical in the round.

Maps and territory scope

Geography rounds compare the stated north–south or east–west span of an outline in a local equal-area projection. The scope says which mainland, islands or territories are included. These are projected map spans, rather than land area or distances measured along the ground; generalised boundaries affect the outline.

Fictional characters

Pop Culture rounds use published nominal heights for the named character or form. Illustrations help identify the subject; poses, raised limbs and antennae do not independently define the reference height. Follow the stated scope and source for that round.

Vehicles and measured parts

Vehicles use published dimensions for the named model, family or configuration. Read whether a round compares full length, height, wheelbase, wingspan or body diameter. Wheelbase runs between wheel centres; a spacecraft body diameter can exclude antennas and thrusters; a launch height can include the spacecraft and escape tower.

Some sources describe a model family rather than the exact illustrated specimen. Photographs and perspective drawings preserve a recognisable shape, but they do not establish a precise measurement of every visible feature. The round’s scope and approximation notes describe those limits.

Open Measurement basis & sources in the game. The known object's source is available before you guess; the target's measurement source appears after you lock in. Scores compare your estimate with that stated reference, rather than every possible example of the subject.
