Games Like Krillion
Start here: unlimited practice on this site
If what you want is more of the same kind of play, our own Unlimited practice game is the nearest thing: seven name-something prompts, a short clock, and more points for less common answers. It uses original questions and its own scoring, and you can play as many rounds as you like.
Games that reward the rare answer
The closest relatives: being right is the entry fee, and being unusual is what scores.
Immaculate Grid
A daily three-by-three grid from Sports Reference. Each square needs a player who fits both its row and its column, such as two teams they played for.
Alongside getting squares right, you get a rarity score that improves the fewer other players picked the same name. It is the same instinct as Krillion, applied to sports rosters.
Scattergories
The classic party game: everyone writes an answer for each category starting with the rolled letter, and an answer only scores if nobody else wrote it.
It is the tabletop ancestor of the whole idea. If Krillion is your daily habit, this is the version to play with people in the room.
Games about naming things in a category
Less about rarity, more about how much of a category you can pull out of your head.
Sporcle
A very large library of timed quizzes, many of them of the form “name every country in Africa” or “name every Best Picture winner”.
It is the best training there is for Krillion. The deep answers you need are the ones you learn by trying to list a whole category against the clock.
GeoGrid
A daily nine-square geography grid: for each square, find a country that satisfies both its row's rule and its column's rule.
It rewards knowing the countries other people forget, which is exactly the muscle Krillion's geography prompts use.
Connections
The New York Times daily puzzle: sort sixteen words into four hidden groups of four.
It works the same skill in reverse. Instead of producing members of a category, you have to spot which category the members belong to.
Once-a-day deduction games
A different mechanic, but the same rhythm: one puzzle per day, a few minutes, and something to compare with friends.
Globle
Guess the mystery country. Each guess is coloured on a globe to show how close you are.
Good for building the mental map that geography prompts lean on.
Worldle
Identify a country or territory from its outline, with distance and direction clues after each guess.
It makes the small and unfamiliar countries stick, and those are the high-scoring answers elsewhere.
Metazooa
Find the mystery animal. Wrong guesses reveal how closely related your animal is on the tree of life.
A painless way to learn the animal names that turn up as rare answers.
Murdle
A daily logic mystery by G. T. Karber: work out who did it, with what, and where.
Pure deduction rather than recall, for the days you want a different kind of puzzle.
Songless
A daily music guessing game built around recognising a song from very little of it.
For players whose rare answers come from music rather than maps.
How we chose these
We picked games that are free to start in a browser (Scattergories aside, which is a boxed game) and that have an identity of their own, and we left out clones that copy another game's name or look. Links were last reviewed on October 10, 2026.
