How to play Krillion
Krillion is a daily browser game at krillion.io. Each day has 7 prompts, the same for everyone. You type one answer to each, and the rarer your answer, the more it scores.
How does a round work?
- A prompt appears, such as “Name a billionaire.”
- You have 25 seconds to type one answer.
- The game matches it against its answer sheet and tells you the tier, from Plankton (10 points) down to One in a Krillion (100).
- An answer that is not on the sheet, or no answer before the clock runs out, scores nothing.
How is the day scored?
Your seven scores are added up. The most you can get is 700. The total is rated in bands, listed on the scoring page.
A new set of prompts starts at midnight US Eastern Time.
Does spelling matter?
Not much. The game’s FAQ says autocorrect checks every accepted answer and its aliases, so being a letter or two off still counts.
That generosity can backfire: a guess can be matched to something you did not mean. The developer’s own example is “sea monkey” turning into Threebanded Sheephead, because that fish has the alias “sea donkey”.

Who makes Krillion?
One person, who goes by kp. From the official FAQ: “I’m a 23-year-old American CS grad.” An app is planned “eventually”. Daily Dive #1 was on July 16, 2026.
