Krillion.io

A daily trivia dive with seven open clues and 25 seconds each, where your score is measured in metres of depth and the rarest correct answer travels furthest.

🌊 Krillion.io: The Trivia Game That Scores You by Rarity

Most quiz games ask whether you know the answer. Krillion.io asks how obscure your answer is. Each clue has several factually valid responses, and the game converts the uncommonness of yours into metres of depth, so a famous name sinks you barely below the surface while an obscure but genuine one drops you toward the seabed.

Every run is framed as a dive in a pressure suit. You get one clue per category, seven in all, and the clock gives you 25 seconds to type something. There are no multiple-choice buttons to lean on.

🤿 How a dive runs

1. Read the clue for the first category and work out what kind of answer it wants.
2. Type a single answer into the field and send it before the timer expires.
3. Watch the depth counter: a common answer adds a little, a rare one adds a lot.
4. Repeat across all seven categories, adjusting your ambition to how well you know each subject.
5. Finish the dive and see how far down your total lands.

🐟 The risk you are actually managing

The scoring turns every clue into a bet. A safe answer is worth a few metres. A wild swing at something you half-remember is worth nothing at all, because an entry the database does not recognise scores zero for that round rather than a small amount. That asymmetry is the whole game: the penalty for being too clever is total, and the reward for being clever is enormous.

Anything the timer catches is also gone. Typing speed matters more than it sounds, since a perfect answer submitted late counts for nothing.

🎣 Modes and habits

• Daily challenge — a shared set of seven clues, refreshed each day, so scores are comparable between players.
• Infinite mode — no daily limit, which makes it the place to practise recall and experiment with dangerous answers.
• Themed challenges — narrower categories, which compress the timer pressure into subjects you either know or do not.

💡 Practical tips

• Answer in the first ten seconds. Bank a valid reply before you start hunting for something rarer.
• Spend your risk on strong categories. If you know a subject cold, that is where the obscure name is worth attempting.
• Avoid invented spellings. A term the database cannot match returns zero, so do not gamble on a word you are not sure exists.
• Aim for the middle first, then push. Consistency across seven clues beats one spectacular dive with two blanks in it.
