Krillion.io: the daily dive, explained
Krillion.io is the original browser trivia game known as the daily dive. Its central idea is rarity: answering correctly gets you into the water, but finding a less obvious answer takes you deeper. If you searched for Krillion and want the original, open krillion.io.
This guide is published by Krillion, the independent tribute at krillion.games. The two games have separate implementations, questions and progress. The practical rules linked below describe our version unless a section explicitly names the original.
Why a Krillion game feels different from ordinary trivia
Many trivia games ask for one correct answer. Krillion-style play asks for an answer within a category that can have many valid responses. Recognizing the category is only the beginning. You then decide how far beyond the obvious you can go without choosing something that does not fit.
That creates a trade-off between recall and risk. The first answer you remember may be safe but familiar. A more specific answer may score better, but only if you understand the prompt and remember it accurately. The short timer gives that decision a finish line, and the descent turns a score into visible progress.
Krillion.io and krillion.games: what belongs to which site?

Similar names do not mean connected accounts or identical puzzles. A score earned here does not transfer to the original site, and knowing an answer from one question bank does not guarantee that another bank will accept it. We do not present our scores as original Krillion leaderboard results.
The daily dive in this tribute
Krillion gives every player the same seven prompts for a daily dive. You get a brief preview and then 25 seconds per answer. Accepted answers earn points in six tiers, from Plankton to One in a Krillion. A rejected guess can be replaced before the timer ends. A daily run continues through all seven prompts, including rounds that score zero.
Afterward, you can review each answer, inspect the answer sheets for the prompts you attempted, and share a report without answer spoilers. Past daily packs become available in the archive. The date changes at midnight in America/New_York; the interface shows the next reset countdown.
Playing beyond the daily puzzle
If seven prompts leave you wanting another round, our Krillion Unlimited page offers repeated challenge runs. Each draw contains 50 distinct prompts and gives you three lives. Completing a zero-score round loses a life; the third loss ends the run. You can start fresh without waiting for tomorrow.
Here, “unlimited” refers to the number of runs you can start. It does not mean an infinite question bank or a challenge without a finish. This distinction matters when comparing different sites using the Krillion name.
