🎮 Basic & Gameplay
What is Krillion?
A free daily trivia dive game. Every day all players face the same 7 prompts and type one answer each within 15–20 seconds. Answers are scored by rarity: the fewer players type your word, the deeper you sink.
How many prompts are there each day, and how long do I get?
7 identical prompts worldwide, about 15–20 seconds of thinking and typing time per prompt.
How many attempts do I get?
The Daily Dive allows exactly one attempt per day. Unlimited Classic and themed packs (Movies, Geography…) offer unlimited practice without affecting your daily score.
When does Krillion reset for the next day?
A new Daily Dive goes live around 04:30 UTC (about 12:30 a.m. US Eastern during daylight saving). Hints and full answers for the finished dive appear here the same morning.
What do Krillion terms like Daily Dive, Too Clever or One in a Krillion mean?
Daily Dive is the daily 7-prompt game; Too Clever is the 15-point trap for clever-but-common answers; One in a Krillion is the rarest tier, worth 100 points. Our Krillion Lexicon page explains all 19 terms — every tier, rule and mechanic — with real examples.
🌊 Scoring & Mechanics
How does scoring work?
Common answers float; rare answers sink. Your word is compared against every valid answer submitted globally that day — 1 point equals 10 metres of depth.
What counts as a great score?
700 points (7,000 m) is a Perfect Dive to the Trench Floor. Anything above 400 points (4,000 m) is a top-tier result.
Why did my answer score 0?
Three ways to zero: timing out or leaving it blank, a typo outside the accepted word list, or a valid word that doesn't fit the prompt.
🧠 Strategy & Platform
What is the "Too Clever" trap?
Words that feel obscure but are famous from pub quizzes and social media — thousands of players type them, so they crash into the 15-point band. Liechtenstein and Luxembourg are classic examples.
Where do I play, and are there helper sites?
The official game is at krillion.io — free in any browser, nothing to download or install. Community trackers archive each day's full answer list and rarity data.
Score Outcomes at a Glance
| Outcome | What it means | Score / depth |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect Dive | Trench floor — the best possible run | 700 pts (7,000 m, Hadal Zone) |
| Top-tier dive | Deep, rare-word finish | 400+ pts (4,000 m+) |
| Too Clever crash | "Obscure" word everyone actually knows | 15-point band |
| Zero | Timeout, typo, or off-prompt word | 0 pts (0 m) |
How to Avoid a Zero
| Zero-score cause | How to avoid it |
|---|---|
| Timeout or blank | Type and submit before the 15–20 second countdown ends |
| Typo | Stick to spellings the accepted word list recognizes |
| Off-prompt word | Re-read the prompt and make sure your word fits its category |
