Read the prompt. Seven open prompts per dive — no multiple choice, no lifelines, just your memory.
Categories span food, film, science, sports, history and more.Type the rarest correct answer you can think of. You have 25 seconds, and the clock is the only enemy.
Wrong guesses cost nothing — a reach is always worth trying.One answer per prompt — the first accepted answer scores. Once an answer lands, the round ends and the full answer bank is revealed.
Spend your 25 seconds thinking past the obvious.One answer, six tiers. Watch what happens to a single prompt — “Name a type of cheese” — as the answer gets rarer. The ladder below is taken straight from this game’s question bank: real prompts, real tiers, real answers.
| Tier | Points | Depth | Example answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plankton | 4 | 40 m | Cheddar |
| Too Clever | 8 | 80 m | Manchego |
| Schooler | 16 | 160 m | Gouda |
| Rare | 32 | 320 m | Roquefort |
| Deep Cut | 64 | 640 m | Epoisses |
| One in a Krillion | 100 | 1,000 m | Casu marzu |
Same question, same 25 seconds. Cheddar sinks you 40 metres; Casu marzu drops you a full kilometre — 960 metres apart on identical knowledge.
Krillion doesn’t reward knowing more — it rewards knowing differently. Four habits separate the deep divers from the plankton:
The most dangerous answer is the one that feels original. “Moonlight” for Best Picture feels like a connoisseur’s pick — but it’s the second thought of every clever player, which is exactly why it sits in Too Clever (8 points) instead of Rare. Same with Pluto for planets: every smart person “discovers” Pluto. Psychologists call this a Schelling point — the answer people independently converge on when they’re all trying to be unpredictable. If your “obscure” answer arrived in under three seconds, it’s probably everyone else’s too.
Start by saying the obvious answer out loud — Cheddar — and cross it off. Then cross off the second thing that pops into your head — Manchego. The points live after that: your third idea is where the crowd thins out, and your fifth is where the real depth begins.
When a category feels crowded, slice it differently: another country, another century, the smallest, the oldest, or the most marginal member. Don’t answer Mars (Plankton) when the dwarf planets are sitting right there — Eris is a One in a Krillion.
Wrong guesses cost nothing, so reaching is always free — but only answers on the list score. Obscure pays only when it’s unambiguously correct. A confident, correct Roquefort beats a speculative nothing every single time.
The word comes from the phrase “one in a krillion” — a line from the 2011 animated film Happy Feet Two, spoken by Will the Krill, a tiny crustacean with outsized ambitions. “Krillion” isn’t a real number; it’s an indefinite hyperbolic numeral, a cousin of “zillion” and “gazillion” — a word for a quantity too big to bother counting. And “krill” itself is Norwegian for the sea’s small fry: the tiniest creatures, schooling in the billions. It’s a perfect name for a game about finding the one answer almost nobody else reaches.
The game underneath the word is older. People have been counting answers for over half a century:
Battig & Montague publish category norms. Psychologists literally counted how many people gave each answer to prompts like “name a type of cheese” — the first answer-frequency database.
Family Feud turns counting into a game show. New rule: guess what the survey said — the most popular answer wins.
Scattergories adds a twist. A good answer only scores if nobody else at the table wrote it down.
The BBC’s Pointless inverts the genre. The fewer people who gave your answer, the better it scores.
Krillion takes that idea daily — and this version removes the daily cap, so the dive never has to end.
A perfect dive here is 700 points — 7,000 metres straight down, past most of the real ocean. The zones you pass on the way down follow the real layers of the sea:
Sunlight Zone. Where every dive starts — light, plankton, and your most obvious answers.
Twilight Zone. The light fades, and the easy answers are gone with it.
Midnight Zone. No sunlight at all. Only the well-read get down here.
Abyssal Zone. The deep plain — rare water for rare answers.
Hadal Zone. Named for Hades. The trenches. One-in-a-krillion territory.
Challenger Deep. The deepest point on Earth — deeper than any dive in this game will ever reach.
Krillion Unlimited is a free, endless version of the viral daily trivia game Krillion. Every dive gives you 7 open-ended prompts with 25 seconds to answer each — and there is no daily cap, so you can play as many dives as you want.
Every accepted answer lands in one of six rarity tiers: Plankton (4 pts), Too Clever (8 pts), Schooler (16 pts), Rare (32 pts), Deep Cut (64 pts), or One in a Krillion (100 pts). You get one answer per prompt — the first accepted answer ends the round. Every point sinks you 10 metres, so a perfect 700-point dive reaches 7,000 metres. Wrong guesses cost nothing, so a reach is always worth trying.
Honestly: right now the tiers are editorial estimates based on common knowledge — we don’t have real player data yet, and we say so openly. As real players play, tiers will be recalibrated from actual answer frequencies: answers everyone gives become Plankton, answers almost nobody reaches become One in a Krillion. The “Too Clever” tier exists for the trap answer that feels original but is actually what every clever player thinks of.

The official daily game gives everyone one shared set of 7 prompts per day. Krillion Unlimited adds an endless mode with fresh random prompts every dive, plus a Daily Dive mode that mirrors the shared-daily format so you can compare with friends.
No. Open the page and dive. Scores are stored locally in your browser via localStorage.
It’s the single rarest valid answer to a prompt — worth 100 points, a full kilometre of depth. Each question has exactly one: for “Name a type of cheese” it’s Casu marzu, the Sardinian cheese most players have only heard rumors of. These are the answers almost nobody reaches, and they’re the whole game.
Yes. Every dive has a number, and the Copy Dive Card button gives you a challenge link. Anyone who opens it gets the exact same 7 prompts — same number, same questions. Beat my depth, if you can.
You score 0 for that prompt — no penalty beyond the missed points. The full answer bank is then revealed, grouped by tier from rarest to most obvious, so you can see exactly what you missed.
No. Krillion Unlimited is a fan-made endless version, built by a fan — not affiliated with or endorsed by the official Krillion game at krillion.io. Think of it as the unofficial deep end.
