The Rules
Seven prompts per Daily Dive
A Daily Dive is 7 prompts a day, the same set for everyone.
You have 25 seconds
Each prompt gives you 25 seconds to name one thing.
One answer per prompt
You enter one answer that fits the prompt. An accepted answer is placed in a rarity tier.
Rare beats obvious
Rarer accepted answers sink deeper.
Points, then depth
Krillion Scoring in 20 Seconds
| Tier | Points |
|---|---|
| Plankton | 10 |
| Too Clever | 15 |
| Schooler | 30 |
| Rare | 60 |
| Deep Cut | 85 |
| One in a Krillion | 100 |
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.
