Name something nobody else would

How to play Krillion Unlimited on Odd Answer

Each round has 7 prompts, such as “Name a fruit” or “Name a country in Africa”. You get 25 seconds to type one correct answer to each. Any correct answer counts, but the obvious ones are worth very little: say “banana” and you share the point with half the world. Reach past the first answer that comes to mind for one that is still right but that few other players would think of, and it scores up to 100 points. The best possible round is 700.

After every prompt you see how your answer did and what everyone else said, as a bar chart of the most common answers. Spelling is forgiving: capital letters, accents, “the” in front, a plural, and a single typo or a doubled letter in a long word are all fine. There is no daily limit, no account and nothing to install. When a round ends, start another, or turn it into a challenge for your friends.

Challenge your friends with one link

Finish a round and press Challenge friends. You get a link to the exact 7 prompts you just played, with your score at the top of a leaderboard. Drop it into your group chat: everyone who opens it plays the same prompts, whenever they like, and lands on the same leaderboard. Nobody needs to be online at the same time, sign up or download anything, so it works across time zones and for friends who will only get to it tonight.

The leaderboard keeps every player’s answers, so after you play you can see who went for the safe pick and who found the strange one. That comparison is half the fun: there is always someone who answers “Name a bird” with “cassowary”.

How rarity is scored

Your points depend on how many players give the same answer. Every accepted answer falls into one of five tiers:

A brand-new prompt has no players yet, so we start from an estimate: how well known each answer is, measured by how many language editions of Wikipedia cover it. Famous answers start common and obscure ones start rare. As real answers come in they take over, and once a prompt has 30 answers the page says “of players” instead of “estimated”. The numbers are counts of answers, not guesses by an editor, and they keep moving as more people play.

The list of correct answers comes from Wikidata, the open database behind Wikipedia, so “Name a mammal” accepts hundreds of real species, not a short list someone typed in. If you give a correct answer we do not know yet, it scores nothing this time, but we keep it and add it after a review.

Every round is a dive to the bottom of the ocean

Points take Oddie, our pixel diver, down through the real layers of the open ocean. Obvious answers keep you near the surface; odd ones take you past the last of the sunlight and into the trenches. A perfect round of 700 reaches the Challenger Deep, about 10,935 m down, the deepest known point of the sea.

Each dive is written in your logbook and meets up to two creatures you have not seen yet, from the deepest water you reached, each with a true fact and where it comes from. Landmarks along the way are real records: safety-stop depth (5 m), recreational limit (40 m), red light gone (100 m), deepest scuba dive (332 m), last of the sunlight (1,000 m), elephant seal record (2,388 m), deepest mammal dive (2,992 m), titanic (3,800 m), deepest octopus (6,957 m), deepest fish (8,336 m), challenger deep (10,935 m). To fill the field guide you have to dive deeper, which means finding odder answers.

A reverse Family Feud you can play online

In Family Feud you try to guess the answer most people gave. Here it is the other way round: the answer fewest people gave wins, as long as it is correct. If you have been looking for a “reverse Family Feud” game, or the online version of the TV quiz Pointless, this is that game, with no host and no waiting for a show to air. The prompts cover 9 areas — geography, animals, food, science, culture, sports, people, books & film, music — with 175 prompts to start with and more added every week.

Krillion already has Unlimited — why play this?

Krillion is a great daily game, and it has its own endless mode. Odd Answer is for three things it does not do. First, group challenges by link: your friends play your exact prompts whenever they like and join one leaderboard. Second, rarity you can see: after every prompt you get the full spread of what players answered, with real percentages once enough people have played. Third, a large open answer bank: every accepted answer comes from Wikidata, so obscure-but-correct answers really count. If you just want more Krillion, play its official modes at krillion.io; if you want to find out who in your group chat has the strangest brain, start a challenge here.
