The Rules

  1. Seven prompts per Daily Dive

    A Daily Dive is 7 prompts a day, the same set for everyone.

  2. You have 25 seconds

    Each prompt gives you 25 seconds to name one thing.

  3. One answer per prompt

    You enter one answer that fits the prompt. An accepted answer is placed in a rarity tier.

  4. Rare beats obvious

    Rarer accepted answers sink deeper.

Every point sinks you 10 metres.

100 points = 1,000 m. A theoretical perfect Daily Dive is 7 × 100 = 700 points = 7,000 m.

700 is the trench.
