Games Like Krillion
Krillion's hook is specific: seven shared prompts a day, 25 seconds each, and the rarer your correct answer the deeper you score. These are the free daily games that scratch the same itch — ranked by how close they get to the rare-answer core.
Closest matches first: Seldom and Outrivia use the same rare-answer scoring idea. If what you actually want is more Krillion, that's at krillion.io.
Rare-answer games (closest to Krillion)
These reward the answer nobody else gives — the exact skill the Krillion game tests.
Seldom
One shared question a day ("Name a fruit"), five guesses, each scored 0-100 by how many of 100 people would call it obvious. Lowest total wins — same muscle as Krillion's deep answers, friendlier pace. Archive of past puzzles included.
Outrivia
The closest all-round clone: 10 shared prompts a day at 30 seconds each, typed answers sorted into five bands from Crowd to Outlier. Free unlimited runs after the daily, plus challenge links to play the same board as friends.
Uncommon Trivia
Seven open questions a day where the most obscure correct answer scores highest — rarity is measured by public Wikipedia pageviews, so every score can be audited. Nerdiest of the bunch, in a good way.
Daily grids & sports trivia
Different surface, same question: can you think of the pick nobody else will?
Immaculate Grid
Daily 3×3 sports grid — name a player who fits each row/column pair in nine shots. The "rarity score" rewards obscure-but-correct picks exactly like Krillion. Baseball, football, basketball and hockey versions.
Puckdoku
The hockey take on the grid: fill nine cells with NHL players matching team and stat criteria, with a Uniqueness score beside your correct count. Best if your deep cuts live on the ice.
Connections
Sort 16 words into four hidden groups. No rarity scoring, but the lateral category-thinking — "what's the non-obvious link" — is the same part of your brain Krillion works.
Word, geography & number dailies
One shared puzzle a day, a streak to protect, results worth pasting in the group chat.
Wordle
The five-letter daily that started the boom. Six guesses, color feedback, done in two minutes — the warm-up slot before your Krillion dive.
Contexto
Find the secret word using semantic closeness — every guess tells you how near you are in meaning. Unlimited guesses, so it plays more like a hunt than a quiz.
Semantle
Contexto's harder cousin — the same proximity hunt with a much stingier hint economy. For players who found Contexto too forgiving.
Globle
Guess the mystery country; the globe colors hotter the closer you get. Krillion's geography prompts in a purer form — one shared answer a day.
TimeGuessr
Five old photos a day — pin the location and guess the year, up to 10,000 points each. Rewards deep photo knowledge the way Krillion rewards deep trivia cuts.
