In the game “Hoopla” by the makers of “Cranium,” there is a more condensed version of the “red” category (trivia, factoid, etc.) that is called “tweeners.”  It’s really funny because basically the person doing the “tweener” has to give the guessers a comparison of clues to get the guessers to guess the answer.  The format follows a “bigger than… but smaller than…”  format.  Rule is you can’t use any of the words in the actual answer.   It’s a little confusing but here is an example:

“It’s bigger than a rock,  but smaller than Superman.”  (answer: kryptonite)

“It’s bigger than a bracelet, but smaller than jail.”  (answer:  handcuffs)

You get the idea?

Can you think of some good tweeners and post them here, with the answers as well if we get stumped?

Here are some of mine:

a)  “It’s bigger than a skyscraper, but smaller than New York City.” 

b) ”It’s bigger than a candy bar, but smaller than the universe.”

c)  “It’s bigger than an eye patch, but smaller than a ship.”

 

Answers:
