Krillion Game Guide: Rules, Timing and Scoring

Learn how to play Krillion, submit answers within 25 seconds, earn up to 100 points per question and review the answers after a dive.

Start with seven questions

Choose Custom Question Count for a game with a fixed finish. Seven questions is the default. You can add questions in groups of seven, up to 168. In Unlimited Mode, the questions reshuffle after each cycle of 168 and you choose when to stop.

Read the prompt before the timer starts

Use the three-second preview to spot any extra rule, such as a starting letter or a geographic region. If the prompt asks for a musical instrument, think through strings, wind instruments and percussion, then pick one example that fits all the conditions.

Submit one answer in 25 seconds

When the answer box opens, type one answer and press Enter or tap Dive. If a spelling suggestion appears, submit it again to confirm or edit it while the timer is still running. A wrong answer or a round that ends without a valid answer scores zero. The game shows one accepted answer and continues.

Turn points into diving depth

Accepted answers earn 10, 15, 30, 60, 85 or 100 points according to their assigned tier in the question pack. Each point adds 10 metres of depth, so a 100-point answer takes you 1,000 metres deeper.

Review your answers or save for later

In the results, open a question to see the accepted answers and their points. You can finish an Unlimited game from its menu to see the results. To pick up an unfinished dive later, choose Save and exit and return in the same browser. Each mode keeps its own progress and results.
