Krillion Game Guide: Official Site, Rules and Scoring

Requirements and unknowns

What is Krillion?

Krillion is a daily browser trivia game with a twist: being right is not enough. Each prompt has many valid answers, like “name an animal whose name is exactly four letters long.” Obvious answers barely count, and rare ones score big.

It works like a reverse Family Feud. Instead of guessing what most people said, you try to name the answer almost nobody else will think of. Your score is shown as depth on a dive into the ocean.

How to find the official Krillion site

Krillion grew quickly, and many sites now use the name. Some copy the game, some post answers, and some call themselves official. The original game is at krillion.io.

Its FAQ says the game is made by one person, a developer who goes by kp. The creator also warns that others have claimed to be the game’s creator. GameHub only links to krillion.io and is not connected to the creator.

One in a Krillion on Steam is a different, unrelated action game.

How to play Krillion

The rules below come from the how-to-play box on the original site. Our check covered the start of the daily dive through prompt 2.

1. Open krillion.io. Expand “how to play” if you want to read the rules first.
2. Select Begin Descent to start today’s dive. Everyone gets the same seven prompts.
3. Read the prompt. A short countdown runs before the clock starts.
4. Type one answer within 25 seconds. Rare correct answers sink you deeper; obvious ones float.
5. Continue through all seven prompts. You get one dive per day, so there is no retry.

Krillion answer tiers and points

Every accepted answer lands in one of six tiers. The point values below are from the original game’s code and blurbs, observed on October 17, 2026. They may change.

What your daily depth means

Each point sinks you 10 metres, so the best possible day is 700 points, a 7,000-metre dive. At the end of a dive, the game rates your total. We did not reach the results screen; these bands come from the original site’s code.

Krillion modes beyond the daily dive

These are the options in the site menu. GameHub only played the daily dive, so treat the notes below as descriptions, not test results.

Tips for scoring deeper

These tips follow from how the tiers work. They are not a guaranteed method, and the answer lists differ for each prompt.

1. Skip your first thought. If it came instantly, it is probably Plankton.
2. Watch for the “Too Clever” trap. The famous obscure answer is only worth 15 points, because everyone knows it.
3. Think in categories. For an animal prompt, move away from pets and zoo animals toward insects, deep-sea fish or regional species.
4. Type carefully. The creator says autocorrect is generous, so a near-miss can match a different accepted answer.
5. Keep an eye on the 25-second clock. A safe answer still scores more than no answer.
