My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

How about a “Which one is taller?” quiz for recreation at senior facilities or as a quick pastime? Comparing the heights of famous landmarks and mountains everyone knows—like the Great Buddha of Nara vs.

the Great Buddha of Kamakura, or Tokyo Tower vs.

the Eiffel Tower—often brings delight and surprised reactions like, “Wait, really?” And it’s not just about the heights of buildings.

We’ve gathered quizzes that compare all kinds of “high,” such as higher prices and higher calories, filled with unexpected discoveries.

You can liven things up with a wide range of themes, from world landmarks to familiar foods and even animals.
