I like expanding it out to 1000 doors. Even though the logic is the same between 3 and 1000 doors, the chances are more intuitive with more doors.
I think the part that really throws the brain off with the 3 door version is that the host opening a door seems like another random event but it's actually dependent on the state of the game at that point. Our natural intuition of the chances is for a version of the game where you pick a door, then the host randomly picks (and does not open as you also haven't) a different door, and then you have to choose if you want to switch to the door that neither of you picked.
