Guess the Scale

Dollhouse makers shrink the real world by a fixed amount called a scale. At 1:12, every foot of a real room becomes one inch in miniature, so a six-foot man becomes a six-inch doll.

Ten quick rounds. Read a ruler, shrink a sofa, and find the piece that doesn't belong.

Inspired by the Elizabeth Johnston Prime Dollhouse Collection at The Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts
