What is Krillion?
Krillion is a daily browser trivia game in which uncommon answers send a small krill deeper into the ocean. It appears in Clueffy videos and has inspired several similarly named fan sites, so it is worth being clear about which one is the official game.
The daily dive has 7 prompts with 25 seconds each, and everyone gets the same set. Answers fall into six rarity tiers: Plankton 10 points, Too Clever 15, Schooler 30, Rare 60, Deep Cut 85 and One in a Krillion 100. Each point equals 10 metres of depth, so a perfect dive reaches 7,000 metres.

Krillion strategy and tips
Aim for the middle tiers first
Schooler and Rare answers are realistic on most prompts and add up quickly. Chasing One in a Krillion every time usually costs you valid answers. A steady run of 30 and 60 point answers beats a few lucky 100s followed by blanks.
Know what Too Clever means
Too Clever is a scored tier worth 15 points, not a rejection. It is a reminder that a clever answer is not always a rare one.
Practise outside the daily dive
The game also offers unlimited play, an archive of earlier dives, themed packs and a social mode called Puffer Party. Use them to learn which kinds of answers score well before spending your one scored daily attempt.
- Pick a niche inside the prompt category instead of the headline example.
- Do not stall: an on-time decent answer beats running out the timer.
- Play the daily dive once seriously; use unlimited or archive modes to practise.
Who is Krillion for?
Krillion suits anyone who enjoys short, replayable browser games in the rare answers & the ocean style. A run takes only a few minutes, you do not need an account to try it, and the rules are simple enough to learn in a single attempt. It is a good game to play with friends: compare scores, argue about answers and see who spots the most unusual idea. If you first met it in a Clueffy video, this page gives you the context the video skips, including how scoring works and what to aim for.
Once you are comfortable, move to a different game in the same family to stretch the same skill in a new setting. Our Clueffy game guides compare all of them side by side, and the home page lets you search by what a game looks like if you forget a name.
