Krillion

About Krillion

Krillion is a short daily game built on the same idea as the TV quiz Pointless. Each day brings seven prompts, the same for every player, and you have 25 seconds to type an answer to each. The answer has to fit the prompt, but the points come from rarity: an answer many people also gave sinks you only a little, while one hardly anyone thought of drops you much further.

The score is drawn as a dive. You start at the surface and sink with each prompt, passing depth markers for penguins, the midnight zone, anglerfish and giant squid, down to the trench floor at 7,000 metres, where a perfect dive ends.

Beyond the daily dive, the site has an unlimited mode, an archive of past days, themed packs, a friends list to compare dives and a profile page with streaks and unlocks.

Krillion suits players who enjoy thinking sideways more than recalling facts, and it takes only a few minutes.

How to play Krillion

1. Open krillion.io and start the daily dive.
2. Read the first prompt and type an answer that fits it within 25 seconds.
3. Aim for a valid answer that few other players will think of.
4. Repeat for all seven prompts, watching your depth grow with each answer.
5. See your final depth and score, compare with friends, and come back the next day.

Tips

• The first answer that comes to mind is usually the one most people give; take a second to think of a less obvious one.
• Make sure the answer clearly fits the prompt; a rare answer only helps if it counts.
• Keep an eye on the 25-second clock rather than chasing the perfect obscure answer.
• Use unlimited mode or themed packs to practise the style before the daily dive.
