About The Krillion
The Krillion is a free daily trivia game about finding the answer other people overlook.
What The Krillion game is
Every day The Krillion publishes seven prompts, the same for every player. You type one answer to each. Obvious answers score a little; rare ones score a lot and carry your dive deeper into the ocean. There is no account, no payment and no download. The game runs in a browser on a phone or a computer.
A dive takes a few minutes. Each prompt gives you 25 seconds, each answer lands in one of six rarity tiers worth 10 to 100 points, and every point is ten meters of depth. A perfect day is 700 points and 7,000 meters. When you finish you get a result you can share without revealing what you typed.
Why rare answers
Most quizzes reward the one answer everyone is expected to know. This one rewards the answer that is just as correct but less likely to come to mind. It makes a short daily game out of something trivia players already enjoy: knowing the second example, the older one, the one from somewhere else.
The Krillion and Krillion.io
The idea comes from Krillion.io, the original game. The Krillion at thekrillion.com is an independent fan-made tribute and is not affiliated with it. The two sites do not share accounts, daily questions, answer banks, scores or leaderboards. If you are looking for the original, follow the link above.
Because the sites are separate, a result from one cannot be compared with a result from the other. The prompts differ, the answer banks differ, and the way rarity is decided differs too.
Where Krillion answers come from
Each prompt has a curated answer bank written ahead of time. The rarity tier of an answer is an editorial choice, not a live count of what players typed. If a correct answer is missing from the bank, it is rejected without a penalty and you can try another one while the clock runs.
Fixed tiers have a practical benefit: an answer is worth the same to the first player of the day and the last, and the full answer sheet you can open after a dive shows exactly how each prompt was divided. The cost is that no bank is complete. The Krillion scoring & tiers page explains the tiers in detail.
How the daily schedule works
The first daily set was published on October 1, 2026. A new set opens at midnight in New York (Eastern Time), and the start screen shows that moment in your own time zone. Sets are prepared in advance, not generated on the day, so everyone who plays on a given date sees the same seven prompts in the same order.
Krillion game modes
The site currently has one mode: the daily dive, plus an archive of past days. A past day you missed can still be played from the archive, and a day you finished can be replayed as practice without changing your recorded score. There is no endless or challenge mode.
How the site is built
The Krillion is a small static website. Your progress, history and settings are stored in your own browser, and the game does not use accounts or advertising, and only measures visits with analytics. The privacy & saves page lists exactly what is stored.
Look and sound
The game is drawn as pixel art in a single typeface, with a krill that follows your dive and an ocean that darkens as you descend. Sound is off until you switch it on. The menu also offers a high-contrast palette and larger text, and animations are reduced automatically if your device asks for less motion.
