Krillion Infinite
Krillion Infinite is a free daily browser-based word game that inverts traditional trivia and word games. Rather than rewarding players for knowing widely-known answers, it scores players based on how uncommon or rare their correct answers are among the global player base. Each day, the game presents seven prompts (e.g., 'name a cheese,' 'name an actor'), and all players answer the same set. The obvious, most common answers yield very few points (10 points for 'Cheddar' when naming a cheese), while rare, less-thought-of correct answers yield much higher scores (85 points for 'Taleggio'). The game is played against a 25-second clock per prompt, and each correct answer increases the player's metaphorical depth in metres, from the 'Plankton' tier to 'One in a Krillion.' Played entirely in the browser with no account, app, payment, or advertising, a full dive takes about four minutes. The scoring system is built around six tiers that reflect how widely an answer is known among players: Plankton (10 points), Too Clever (15), Schooler (30), Rare (60), Deep Cut (85), and One in a Krillion (100). One point buys four metres of descent, so a perfect score of 700 points corresponds to a 2800-metre dive. The game matches answers loosely and intentionally—missing accents, pluralization, and British/American spellings are all tolerated. A missed answer costs time but not the round, so guessing is encouraged. This design rewards divergent thinking and self-awareness over rote memorization, making each dive a fresh way to test not just what you know, but what you assume others know.

Problem solved
Krillion Infinite solves the problem of word games becoming repetitive and knowledge-based, offering a lightweight, fast daily challenge that rewards creativity and divergent thinking rather than a fixed vocabulary list. It provides a cultural measurement: players must consider not just a correct answer, but the probability that others will think of the same answer.
