The game
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. This companion does not host a clone. We publish today’s Krillion answers, hints, a daily archive, and a 700-point calculator so you can study the meta without pretending to be the publisher.
Daily Dive #34 started on 16 July 2026. A new set seals at 04:00 UTC. Extra runs belong on official unlimited plus the movies, sports, and geography packs. Those modes do not overwrite the daily score you compare with friends.
How to play
Start at krillion.io. There is no difficulty slider and no category picker. The seven prompts are the dive.
Type a single word or short phrase. If the clock hits zero on a blank, that prompt is worth nothing.
A clever reject scores zero. The official list is the only validator. Spelling variants can fail even when the idea is right.
Each point is 10 metres. 700 points is 7,000 metres. That is the published trench floor for a near-perfect day.
Full walkthrough on how to play. Tier names and point rungs are on scoring.
Score guide
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.
0–200 m. The answers everyone typed.
200–1,000 m. A few uncommon picks.
1,000–4,000 m. Rare answers start to pay.
4,000–6,000 m. A seriously good dive.
6,000–7,000 m. Almost every answer was rare and accepted.
Strategy
Every prompt is a tiny auction. Crowded bids are cheap. Specific, still-valid bids pay.
Your first idea is the school’s idea. List three valid answers before you commit.
On an animal prompt, “axolotl” usually out-dives “dog”, if it clearly fits.
If the category is narrow, a middle-rung lock beats a rejected 100-point fantasy.
Pick by second ten. A typo on a brilliant answer scores the same as a blank.
Unlimited and packs
Play the daily set first. Use packs and unlimited when you want volume without spending the one score that counts.
Official
Seven shared prompts, one attempt, comparable depths. This is the ritual.
Pack
Film prompts only. Cult titles usually out-dive the blockbuster.
Pack
Stadium sports to obscure disciplines. Specificity still wins.
Pack
Countries, cities, landmarks. The atlas back pages score deepest.
FAQ
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.
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.
