Games Like Krillion

Games like Krillion: the short list

Games like Krillion are daily trivia games in which a question has many right answers and the one fewer people know is worth more. Krillion made the format popular: seven prompts a day, the same for everyone, where rare answers sink you deeper and obvious ones barely count. If you have finished today's dive, these are the games like Krillion we found, starting with the one you can play at the top of this page.

The descriptions below come from playing Rarest ourselves and from what each of the other games says about itself on its own site. We do not host those other games; search for them by name to play.

1. Rarest: the game like Krillion on this page

Of all the games like Krillion, Rarest is the closest in shape: seven "Name a…" prompts a day, the same for every player, and a timer on each one. Instead of diving, you fly. Every correct answer fires a hot-air balloon's burner, and the rarer the answer, the higher the balloon climbs.

What it adds for people coming from Krillion:

• Free unlimited rounds. Unlimited mode deals seven new prompts as often as you like, with no account.
• A clock you can switch off. The default is 25 seconds per prompt. No timer, under Options, removes it.
• Single-subject rounds. Geography, animals, food and drink, sports, movies and TV, music, science or history.
• One doubled prompt. Thermal ×2 doubles the points on the prompt you choose, once per round.
• Forgiving input. A wrong guess costs one second rather than ending the prompt, and typos, missing accents and plurals are accepted.

Scoring runs across six tiers, from Flicker (5 points, everyone knows it) to Inferno (100 points, among the least known). A perfect round is 700. The developer builds the answer lists from Wikidata and ranks rarity with public Wikipedia statistics, so an answer's tier is fixed instead of moving with the day's crowd. Rarest is made by rarest.me and is not affiliated with Krillion.

2. Seldom

Seldom is a daily rare answer game with golf scoring. You get five guesses, lower scores win, and a perfect guess, a 0, is called a Seldom. Pick it if you like games like Krillion but would rather think slowly about five answers than race a timer through seven.

3. Uncommon Trivia

Uncommon Trivia describes itself as a daily trivia game where seven open questions reward the most obscure correct answer, with a new puzzle every day and no account needed. Among games like Krillion it keeps the seven-question length, so it fits the same few minutes.

4. Centumth

Centumth is a daily guessing game built on one topic and a hidden Top 100 list. You have five guesses and aim for the answers closest to number 100. It is a cousin of Krillion more than a twin: the best answer is not the most obscure thing you know, but the one that only just made the list.

5. GnarlyQ

GnarlyQ is a daily trivia game of five rounds, each hiding five right answers. You tap what you know and lock in before you push your luck too far. By its own description it takes about three minutes and the puzzle is the same for everyone. It belongs with games like Krillion because every question has several correct answers, though it rewards nerve more than rarity.

The opposite of Krillion: Top Answer Club

Some people searching for games like Krillion want the reverse rule. Top Answer Club is a free daily survey quiz in which you guess the most popular answers, the way a TV survey game works. If Krillion makes you avoid your first thought, this one pays you for it.

What makes a game like Krillion

We counted a game as one of the games like Krillion if it met three tests. The questions are open, so you type or choose from many valid answers rather than one. The answers are not equal, so which correct answer you give changes your score. And there is one shared daily puzzle, so you can compare results with friends without spoiling it. Clones that reuse Krillion's name are left out; every game here is its own game with its own name.
