Krillion DailyAbout Krillion Daily
Krillion Daily is a small daily quiz with one twist: knowing an answer is easy, knowing one nobody else thought of is the game. We are a few people who like pub quizzes, odd facts and the sea, and this is the game we wanted to play with our coffee.
Krillion Daily is a fan-made game in the rare-answer style. It is independent of krillion.io and its makers and has no partnership with them.
Where the questions come from
The library has more than 850 questions in seven themes. Each day's dive takes one from every theme, chosen by a fixed schedule so that a question does not come back until most of its theme has had a turn. A question is kept only if it has a long list of real answers and a fair share of them that a person could think of in 25 seconds.
How an answer sheet is made
Every question has its own sheet of a few hundred accepted answers, ranked from the ones nearly everybody gives to the ones almost nobody does. We put the sheets together from reference lists, check them for answers that break the rule of the question, and pick the Too Clever answer and the one or two pearls by hand. Every pearl comes with a short fact, because finding one should feel like a small discovery.
Answers missing from a sheet are checked by a referee model; when it accepts one, that answer counts as a Deep Cut and the decision is saved for everybody. Players can report a wrong call through the contact form, and we fix the sheet when they are right.
The rules in short
Seven questions, 25 seconds each, one answer per question. Plankton is worth 10 points, Too Clever 15, Schooler 30, Rare 60, Deep Cut 85 and One in a Million 100. Ten metres per point, 7,000 m for a perfect dive. The guide walks through two real sheets.
What we keep
