What is the Krillion game?
The Krillion game is a free daily trivia game played in the browser at krillion.io. Every day there are seven prompts, the same for everyone, and each asks you to name one thing. Any correct answer counts, but in Krillion a rare answer scores big and an obvious one barely floats. Your points become depth: the deeper you dive, the better your day. Krillion is made by one developer, who goes by kp.
This page is not Krillion and is not connected to it. It explains how Krillion works, using what Krillion's own site says, and gives you a game built on the same idea that you can play right now, above: Rarest, an independent rarest answer game by rarest.me.
How to play the Krillion game online
Krillion is played in the browser at krillion.io, with no download. Its own instructions fit in six lines, and they are the whole game:
- 7 prompts a day, same for everyone.
- 25 seconds to name one thing for each prompt.
- Rare answers score big; obvious ones float.
- The pick that feels clever? Other players probably thought of it too.
- Every point sinks you 10 metres; 700 points reaches the trench.
- One dive per day, no second chances.
So a perfect Krillion dive is 700 points and 7,000 metres. The daily round is numbered: November 14, 2026 was Dive #122.
How Krillion decides which answers are rare
According to Krillion's FAQ, each answer set is built by combining sources such as dictionaries, wiki pages and encyclopedias, then cleaning them into one list. Rarity is scored in one of two ways. Some prompts are scored mechanically against a familiarity database: how often a word or name turns up in what people read and write. Others cannot be reduced to a number like that, and get a combination of AI assistance and a manual pass.
The top answer of each prompt, the "Krillion" itself, is not chosen on rarity alone. Past a certain depth rarity gets hard to separate, so the gem is also picked for being satisfying to land on: something at least a few players actually find. Krillion also has a name for the answer that feels obscure but is not: "too clever", the go-to pick that everyone thinks only they know.
If a fair answer is refused, Krillion's FAQ says it is usually a source that was missed. Its autocorrect is generous, because many answers have aliases, and that occasionally turns a typo into an answer you did not expect.
Krillion modes beyond the daily dive
- Daily dive: free, seven prompts a day, one attempt.
- Archive and Unlimited: past dives and endless play. When we checked on November 15, 2026, Krillion's site offered these as a one-time $5 unlock, and any unlock also removes ads across the site. More in our Krillion Unlimited guide.
- Themed packs: marked free for now and in beta: Words & Language, At the Movies, Sports and Geography, with Music listed as coming soon.
- Puffer Party: Krillion's multiplayer category game (our Puffer Party guide). Players name an answer and pass the puffer before it pops, like hot potato. The hidden fuse is random, between 10 and 30 seconds by default. There are public and private rooms, from one-on-one up to 10 players.
- Friends: sign in with Google to compare daily scores and answers with friends.
Tips for a deeper Krillion dive
- Skip your first thought. Krillion's own rules warn that the clever-feeling pick is the one everyone else had too.
- Use the whole 25 seconds. The second or third answer that comes to mind is usually rarer than the first.
- Lean on what you know that others do not. Hobbies, home towns and jobs are where rare answers live.
- Bank something before time runs out. An obvious answer still floats you a little; no answer scores nothing.
- Learn from the reveal. The rare answers you see today are tomorrow's points.
A free game like Krillion to play right now
You cannot play Krillion on this site, but the game at the top of this page works the same way. Rarest gives you seven "Name a…" prompts a day with 25 seconds each, and the less well known your correct answer is, the higher your hot-air balloon climbs. It is a rarest answer game made by the independent team at rarest.me, and it is not affiliated with Krillion.
What it adds for Krillion players:
- Free unlimited rounds. Unlimited mode deals seven new prompts as often as you like, with no unlock.
- No timer, if you want. Switch it off under Options.
- One subject at a time. Geography, animals, food and drink, sports, movies and TV, music, science or history.
- Thermal ×2. Once per round, double the points on the prompt you know best.
Every correct answer in Rarest lands in one of six tiers, from Flicker (5 points, everyone knows it) to Inferno (100 points, among the least known), so a perfect round is 700, the same ceiling as Krillion. According to its developer, the answer lists come from Wikidata and rarity from public Wikipedia statistics.
