How to play Krillion

Krillion is a free daily trivia game at krillion.io. Each day has one dive, shared by all players: 7 prompts, with 25 seconds to type an answer to each. Less common answers usually score more points.

How a dive works

1. A prompt shows with a count of 3, so you have about 3 seconds to read it.
2. Then a 25-second clock runs. Type an answer that fits the prompt and send it.
3. You see the answer's tier, its points and a short line. Press Descend for the next prompt. After the last one, the button reads Surface.

Krillion rules for answers

• Each prompt scores one answer. If the game does not know what you typed, it asks you to try again. That costs no points, only seconds, as the clock keeps running.
• If the clock runs out, that prompt scores 0. Your score so far stays, and the dive carries on with any prompts left.
• A misspelling is not punished. The game offers the word it thinks you meant. Send your answer a second time and that word scores. If the word is wrong, change it first. The clock keeps running here too.
• Plurals count as the same answer, and an answer can also score under another of its names.

What is the Krillion game?

A trivia game that runs in your browser. It launched in July 2026. There is nothing to install, and you do not need an account. It also opens in a phone's browser.

When does Krillion reset?

Krillion resets once a day, when a new dive opens. The reset is at about 05:00 UTC, which is midnight US Eastern (read in November 2026). In November that is 9 pm Pacific the evening before, 5 am in London, 10:30 am in India and 4 pm in Sydney.

How Krillion scoring works: tiers and points

Your answer's tier gives its points. Rarer answers usually land in higher tiers, and One in a Krillion is the top tier.

For each answer, the game also shows how many other players gave the same one that day so far. The tier does not follow that count. The game sets rarity itself for each prompt, so an answer that many players gave can score more on one prompt than a less common answer on another. Early in the day the count is small, as few people have played yet, and that does not raise the tier.

What is a good Krillion score?

Your final score gets a band name, and the top band starts at 450. Depth is your score times 10, so a score of 400 is 4,000 metres. With 7 prompts at 100 points each, the highest possible score is 700, and the game calls it the trench floor.

What does Too Clever mean in Krillion?

Too Clever is the tier for an answer that seems rare to many players, though the game does not count it as rare. At 15 points it scores less than Schooler. The same answer can land in a different tier on a different prompt.

Krillion tips and strategy

• Use the 3 seconds before the clock starts to read the prompt.
• The first answer that comes to mind is likely the first for many others too, so look one step further.
• Try the rarer answer first. If the game does not know it, you lose seconds, not points, and can still send a more common one.
• Do not trust an answer only because it seems rare. If the game does not count it as rare, it can land in Too Clever, at 15 points.
• Watch the clock when you fix a spelling. The second press is the one that counts, and the time keeps running.
• When time is short, send a common answer the game is likely to know. The lowest tier still scores 10, and running out of time scores 0.
• Wait a beat after an answer. Descend can ignore a press for a moment while the score counts up, so press again if nothing happens.

After the dive

The results page shows a curve of the day's scores with your place on it, your dive log, the bands and a countdown to the next dive. Its answer list, The Catch, gives every valid answer for each round, split by tier, with a search box. So the game itself shows the answers once you finish, and this page lists no prompts or answers for any day.

Your result stays: opening krillion.io again shows the finished dive, not a new one. The logbook shows your streak, dives played, average and best. It seems to be kept in the browser you play in, so it may not carry over to another browser.
