Games Like Krillion

Common Ground is the nearest thing here to a Krillion dive. Ten prompts arrive each day, the same for every player (a famous Steve, something yellow), and each has a ten-second clock. You type the first answer that comes to mind, and up to three labels suggest answers from the prompt's own list of about 57 as you go. The scoring is Krillion's turned inside out: your ten answers are matched against a random stranger who played earlier today (a house player stands in until twenty people have played), and every answer you both gave is a match, so the obvious answer is the smart one. Under each row you also see what most people said, once enough people have played.

If the knowledge side is what you love, start with Daily Trivia: ten multiple-choice questions a day, twenty seconds each, from easy to hard and across at least seven subjects. After each answer you see what share of today's players knew it, and your graded sheet marks every question you got right that fewer than 30% of them did, which the shared result shows as a star. Older Than You Think is sixteen pairs a day of which came first, the fax machine or the American Civil War, with the share of today's players who got each pair right. Rank It gives you five lists of five things to put in order, and the reveal shows where most people put each one.

Lost & Found hides the same five odd things in one huge picture map for everyone each day, and after every find it tells you what share of today's hunters found it and how fast. Daily IQ is ten reasoning puzzles a day with no clock on the daily test; its report shows what share of today's players got each puzzle, and once twenty have played, how many of them you beat.

In these games your guess meets everyone else's. In Law of Averages you pick one number from 0 to 100, and whoever lands closest to the day's fraction of everyone's average wins, with a new fraction each day between a half and four-fifths; the result is printed the next day. In How Many you glimpse five scenes for a few seconds each, from a jar of jelly beans to a field of sheep, guess the count and see whether you beat the median guess of the day. Pin Drop asks for five places on an unlabelled world map and shows the crowd's average pin beside yours, and Paint Chips has you mix five colours, from their names one day and from memory the next.

If one round a day is not enough, Daily Trivia, Older Than You Think and Rank It each have a Quick mode on their page that you can play as often as you like, dealt at random each time. How Many, Pin Drop, Paint Chips and Daily IQ keep past days you can play again, for fun and off the leaderboards, and the questions and answers of past Daily Trivia days are on the trivia questions page. For the full list of today's games in one place, with a tick for each one you finish, see Daily Games.

Pick Common Ground if you like typing answers under pressure, Daily Trivia if you like proving you know the thing nobody else knew, and the crowd games if you enjoy second-guessing other people. Every result here can be shared as a short line for a group chat. The games with leaderboards (Daily Trivia, Older Than You Think, Rank It, Lost & Found, Daily IQ, How Many, Pin Drop and Paint Chips) verify top scores by replaying them on our servers; Common Ground and Law of Averages are played for the result alone, because they depend on what everyone else did. More of the same spirit is on the crowd games, quiz games and games like Wordle pages.
