Stranded

A free daily answer game by Last Minute Productions. A small alien has crash-landed on Earth, and six open-ended questions decide how far he gets on his way home. The rarer your answer, the more it scores — one run a day for everyone on Earth.

Free - no download One run a day 6 questions, ~2 minutes New run at midnight US Central

The real daily game — today's run is waiting.

Playing: Stranded

How a run works

  1. 1
    Six questions, 25 seconds each

    Everyone worldwide gets the same six open-ended prompts — things like "Name something that runs but has no legs." You have 25 seconds per question, about two minutes for the whole run.

  2. 2
    Rare answers score more

    Every valid answer is worth 1 to 500 points, and the fewer other players gave it, the more it pays. The obvious answer is almost worthless; the clever correct one is everything. Your total is out of 3,000.

  3. 3
    Your score picks the ending

    The alien's escape has nine endings — including one secret — decided by how far your 3,000-point total carries him. A new run opens every day at midnight US Central time.

  4. 4
    Build a streak, unlock looks

    Consecutive daily runs grow your streak and earn alien skins — silver, gold and diamond tiers for 10, 25 and 50 days, plus special looks for recruiting friends and topping a race.

The trick: Stranded has no single right answer — hundreds of valid answers exist per question and two players can both do well with completely different ones. Think like the TV quiz Pointless: you want the correct answer nobody else would give.

Tips for a longer escape

  1. 1
    Skip the first answer that comes to mind

    That one is what everyone else typed. Reach for the second or third correct thing you think of — depth is where the points live.

  2. 2
    Real answers only, weird is fine

    An obscure-but-true answer beats a safe common one every time. Stretch the category, don't break it.

  3. 3
    Use the full 25 seconds

    There is no bonus for speed. Sit on a question until a rarer answer surfaces rather than locking in early.

  4. 4
    Come back tomorrow

    Streaks and rare looks reward daily play — yesterday's run and its answer stats are archived on the game's past-runs page once the day closes.

When does the Stranded daily reset?

A new run opens at midnight US Central time every day. Miss a day and your streak resets.

How is Stranded scored?

Can I play past runs?

Finished runs are archived with the day's answers and rarest submissions, but the daily game itself is once-a-day — that shared puzzle is the point.
