How to Play Krillion: The Daily Dive Rules Explained

How do I play Krillion?

Open krillion.io — free, no download — and press BEGIN DESCENT. You get seven prompts, identical for every player that day, with 25 seconds per prompt to type one answer in the “type one answer…” box. Rarer answers score more and sink you deeper; when the seventh answer resolves, the dive completes and you surface to a result screen. A full dive takes a few minutes.

What do the prompts look like?

Each prompt is an open question with many valid answers. On the dive we played (dive #54), the seven prompts were:

1. Name a country where English is an official language
2. Name an animal that lives in the Arctic or Antarctica
3. Name a dead language
4. Name a Mario character
5. Name a country with the letter Y in its name
6. Name a sport played with a stick, bat, or club
7. Name a type of bicycle

That mix — geography, animals, language, video games, sports, everyday objects — is representative: the daily dive sweeps general knowledge, and many prompts add a twist (a required letter, a region) that rewards precise recall. See prompt categories.

What happens between prompts?

After each answer you see its verdict — tier, points, and how far it sank you — then press DESCEND ▼ when you’re ready for the next prompt. The clock only runs during a prompt, so you can breathe between answers. Miss the 25-second window and that prompt banks zero (“the clock beat you to it”); an answer the game won’t accept shows “NOTHING LANDED” for zero instead (validator details).

What happens at the end?

The result screen wraps up everything at once:

• DIVE COMPLETE summary — final score and depth, with the per-prompt “Catch” log (every prompt, your answer, and its points)
• A percentile — “better than X% of today’s players”
• Logbook stats — streak, dives played, average, best
• COPY RESULT — a share card for socials
• A countdown to your next dive, plus the archive, themed packs, and Keep Diving ∞

Where do I play it?
