Krillion: how to play, tips and the official link
Krillion gives you prompts with many correct answers and rewards the ones few people think of. The more obscure your answers, the deeper your krill dives into the ocean.

Rules
How to play Krillion
- Start the daily dive. It has seven prompts, the same for every player.
- For each prompt you have 25 seconds to name one thing that fits.
- Your answer is graded by how rare it is, in six tiers: Plankton (10 points), Too Clever (15), Schooler (30), Rare (60), Deep Cut (85) and One in a Krillion (100).
- Points become depth: each one takes your krill ten metres further down, and a full 700 reaches the bottom.
- You get one dive per day, with no retries.
How scoring works
Your score is the total of the seven tier values, up to 700. A higher total means a deeper dive.
Modes
- Unlimited, for more dives after the daily one. It needs a one-off payment to unlock.
- Themed packs such as Movies, Sports and Geography, also unlocked by a one-off payment.
- Puffer Party, a multiplayer party mode.
- An archive of earlier dives.
Strategy
5 tips for Krillion
- Skip your first idea. The first answer that comes to mind is almost always the lowest tier.
- Beware the famous "obscure" pick. The Too Clever tier is worth only 15 points, barely more than the obvious answer.
- Use what you know well. A sport, a country or an era you know deeply is where real but uncommon answers come from.
- Have a fallback ready. With 25 seconds, settle on a safe answer early and upgrade only if something rarer comes to you.
- Type carefully. A sloppy spelling can be matched to a different, more common answer.
