What is Krillion Daily?
Krillion Daily is a quiz where being right is only the start. Each day brings seven questions such as "Name a dog breed" or "Name a board game", and every one of them has hundreds of valid answers. The answers most people type earn almost nothing. The ones hardly anybody thinks of send your little submarine plunging, ten metres for every point.
You get 25 seconds of air per question and one answer each time. Seven pearls in a row add up to 700 points and take you to rock bottom at 7,000 metres. Today's dive can be played once; when you surface, the full answer sheet of every question opens so you can see what was hiding further down.
What each answer is worth
| Tier | Points | In plain words |
|---|---|---|
| One in a Million | 100 | A hidden pearl. One or two per question, each with a fact attached. |
| Deep Cut | 85 | Valid and almost never typed. |
| Rare | 60 | Off the beaten track, yet reachable in 25 seconds. |
| Schooler | 30 | A decent answer that many divers share. |
| Too Clever | 15 | The "weird" pick that half the crowd goes for. |
| Plankton | 10 | The answer that pops into every head first. |
The guide takes two real answer sheets apart, tier by tier.
From sunlit shallows to rock bottom
The way down follows the real ocean. You leave the sunlit shallows at 200 m, cross the twilight zone where the last blue light fades, enter the midnight zone at 1,000 m, reach the abyssal plains at 4,000 m and the hadal trenches at 6,000 m. Markers along the ruler tell you who else lives at your depth, from freedivers and oarfish to anglerfish, dumbo octopuses and snailfish.
Three ways to play
- Today's dive is the shared one: same seven questions for everybody, once a day, and it keeps your streak alive.
- Practice deals a random set whenever you like and leaves your streak alone.
- Past dives in the menu lets you replay any day you missed, and the answers section shows the pearls of every finished dive.
Questions
When does the next dive open?
Every night at 00:00 New York time. All players get the same seven questions for that day.
Why did my answer score nothing?
It has to fit the whole question, including any letter rule, and name a specific thing rather than a group. Answers that are not on our sheet go to a referee model, and if it accepts them they score as a Deep Cut.
Is Krillion Daily connected to krillion.io?
No. It is a fan-made game in the rare-answer style, independent of krillion.io. The questions, answer sheets and art here are our own.
Where can I find the answers to a past dive?
In the Answers section. Each finished dive gets a page with its pearls and a sample of every tier the day after it closes.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Results and streaks are kept in your browser, and everything on the site is free.
