    The game

    A daily trivia challenge with a rarity score.

    New to the format? Read what Krillion Game is before jumping into the rules and answer strategy.

    Krillion is a free online daily. Every player gets the same seven category prompts, in the same order, once per day. You have roughly 15–20 seconds to name one thing that fits. Common answers barely move you. Rare answers that the official list still accepts sink you toward the trench.

    The original client lives at krillion.io. Play our independent Krillion unlimited practice using archived questions and scores. We also publish today’s Krillion answers, Krillion hints, the Krillion archive, and a 700-point calculator to help you explore the scoring tiers.

    The first Daily Dive was published on 16 July 2026. A new set seals at 04:00 UTC. Extra runs belong on Krillion unlimited plus the movies, sports, and geography packs. Those modes do not overwrite the daily score you compare with friends.

    Our free practice game

    Seven prompts. One answer. Rarity pays.

    1. Start a practice dive

    Open Krillion Unlimited for seven random archived questions. You get a three-second preview before each answer window.

    2. Answer in 25 seconds

    Type one word or short phrase. Try again if it isn’t recognized, or skip for zero points. The clock keeps running between attempts.

    3. Stay inside the category

    Your answer must match the question’s archived accepted list. A valid idea outside that list may not be recognized.

    4. Depth is score × 10

    Each point is 10 metres. 700 points is 7,000 metres. Seven 100-point answers take you to the trench floor.

    Full walkthrough on how to play. Too Clever and the other five tiers are on the rarity scale.

    Score guide

    How deep is a good score?

    Official reveal tiers run Plankton 10, Too Clever 15, Schooler 30, Rare 60, Deep Cut 85, One in a Krillion 100. Seven perfect 100s is 700. Depth uses the same five ocean-light zones oceanographers describe, from the sunlit surface to the hadal trenches.

    Sunlight0–20 pt

    0–200 m. The answers everyone typed.

    Twilight20–100 pt

    200–1,000 m. A few uncommon picks.

    Midnight100–400 pt

    1,000–4,000 m. Rare answers start to pay.

    Abyssal400–600 pt

    4,000–6,000 m. A seriously good dive.

    Hadal / trench600–700 pt

    6,000–7,000 m. Almost every answer was rare and accepted.

    Strategy

    Think past the first answer.

    Every prompt is a tiny auction. Crowded bids are cheap. Specific, still-valid bids pay.

    Burn two seconds

    Your first idea is the school’s idea. List three valid answers before you commit.

    Specific beats general

    On an animal prompt, “axolotl” usually out-dives “dog”, if it clearly fits.

    Skip the stretch

    If the category is narrow, a middle-rung lock beats a rejected 100-point fantasy.

    Type before panic

    Pick by second ten. A typo on a brilliant answer scores the same as a blank.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    What is Krillion?

    A free daily trivia game at krillion.io. Everyone gets the same seven prompts, about 20 seconds each. Rare accepted answers score more than obvious ones, and each point is 10 metres of depth.

    How do you play the daily dive?

    Open the official Daily Dive, read each category, and type one answer before the clock ends. A blank or rejected answer scores nothing. One official attempt counts per day; unlimited and themed packs are extra practice.

    What are today's Krillion answers?

    Today's Krillion answers for Friday, October 16, 2026 (dive #93) cover seven prompts and 3297 official accepted answers, from Plankton (10 points) to One in a Krillion (100 points).

    How does scoring work?

    After you submit, your word is compared with other valid answers for that prompt. Crowded answers stay near the surface. Uncommon accepted answers sink you. A perfect 700-point run is 7,000 metres.

    What is a good score?

    100 points (1,000 m) is already a strong midnight-zone dive. 400 points reaches the abyss. 600–700 points is trench territory and means almost every pick was rare and accepted.

    When does the next dive reset?

    The official daily set resets at 04:00 UTC. Tomorrow’s answers stay sealed until then. This page shows a live countdown.

    Is there an unlimited mode?

    Yes. Our free Krillion Unlimited game gives you seven random archived questions per dive and as many fresh dives as you want. It is separate from the official Daily Dive and its score.

    Is this the official site?

    No. Krillion Game is an independent site with free practice, daily answers, hints, an archive, and a score calculator. The official game and live validator remain at krillion.io.
