Controls: keyboard, mouse, touchWorks on mobile

Finished today's Krillion and want more? These games like Krillion share the same itch: they reward the answer other people miss instead of the one everybody says. Krillion made the idea popular, and Rarest openly builds on it. Here are the best ones to play next, starting with Rarest, which you can play right here with as many rounds as you like.

The games

1. Rarest (play it above)

Seven "Name a…" prompts a day, 25 seconds each, and the less well known your correct answer is, the higher your hot-air balloon climbs, from the runway past real landmarks to the Space Station. Once per round you can ride a thermal on the prompt you know best and score double. Rarest's answer lists are built from Wikidata and each answer's rarity comes from public Wikipedia statistics, so the lists are complete (all 54 countries of Africa count, not just the famous ones). After the daily round you can keep going in Unlimited mode for free, pick a single category, or switch on No timer.

2. Krillion

Krillion is the daily dive that made this style of game popular: seven prompts a day, the same for everyone, where rare answers sink you deeper and obvious ones barely count. Its extra modes, such as Unlimited, are a one-time paid unlock. If you haven't played today's dive yet, start there.

3. Seldom

Seldom asks for the answer nobody would think of. You get five guesses and, unlike most games, the lowest score wins.

4. Centumth

Centumth gives you one topic and a hidden Top 100 list. You have five guesses, and the goal is to land as close to number 100 as you can, so the best answers are the ones that only just made the list.

5. Top Answer Club

Top Answer Club flips the idea around: it is a daily survey game where you try to guess the most popular answers, like a quick round of Family Feud.

6. GnarlyQ

GnarlyQ has five rounds, each hiding five right answers among the options. Tap the ones you know and lock in before you push your luck too far.

7. Hundo and Catfishing

Two quick extras for trivia fans: Hundo asks you to guess a number between 0 and 100, and Catfishing has you guess a Wikipedia article from its categories.

What people mean by "Krillion unlimited"

Krillion's free game is one dive a day. When people search for "Krillion unlimited", they usually want more prompts right away instead of waiting until tomorrow. Krillion offers that as a paid unlock. If you'd rather keep playing for free, Rarest's Unlimited mode deals seven new prompts every time you press Fly again, with no account and no limit.

How to play Rarest

  1. Press Take off. The daily round is the same for everyone and changes at midnight where you live.
  2. Read the prompt, for example "Name a breed of dog", type any correct answer and press Enter.
  3. A wrong guess costs one second, so think before you fire. Small typos, missing accents and plurals are accepted.
  4. Your answer lands in one of six tiers named after the burner, from Flicker (5 points) to Inferno (100 points). Seven Inferno answers would take you to 700 and the Space Station.
  5. Share your flight log: a spoiler-free row of coloured squares with your score and altitude, or a postcard image of your flight.
