What makes a game “like Krillion”
Krillion’s format is specific: seven prompts a day, the same for everyone, 25 seconds each, one answer per prompt — and the rarer your correct answer, the deeper you score. A game makes this list if it shares at least two of those, with rarity-based scoring counting most. That’s why a grid game sits next to trivia here: the surface is different, the question — can you think of something nobody else will? — is the same.

Krillion unlimited: what to do after today’s dive
Three options, in order of how close they stay to the original:
- Krillion’s own Unlimited — part of a one-time $5 unlock on krillion.io, which also turns off ads across the site.
- The themed packs — words, movies, sports and geography, free while in beta.
- A different game — Uncommon Trivia and Anything Grid are the two closest.
How this list is ordered
By how close the game plays to Krillion, not by how popular it is. Games that reward rare answers come first, then games built on how common an answer is, then daily trivia and guessing games with the same one-shot, shared-puzzle feel. Every link goes to the game’s official site.
FAQ
- What's the closest game to Krillion?
- Uncommon Trivia. It asks seven open questions a day and rewards the most obscure correct answer — the same idea Krillion is built on.
- Are there other games that reward rare answers?

- Krillion's own Unlimited mode (part of a one-time $5 unlock), its free themed packs while they're in beta, or any game on this page.

- Are these all daily games?
