A rare-answer game with no daily cap
Outlier is an independent trivia game about one idea: the answer nobody else gives is worth the most. You get a category (name a river, a cheese, an NBA team) and one answer. Obvious picks score a little; rare, correct picks score a lot. The format has roots in TV quizzes like Pointless and in daily web games such as Krillion, but Outlier has its own prompts and answer lists, and no daily limit. Prompts keep coming until you end your run, and every 700 km your UFO takes a victory lap and starts again from the line.
Every prompt and every answer list on this site is written from scratch: 700 prompts across 7 themed packs, from hand-ranked lists like countries and capitals to letter puzzles such as “Name a country with the letter H in its name”.

What “unlimited” means here
Most daily puzzles end after a handful of questions. Outlier lets you keep playing after the daily puzzle is done:
- Endless runs. Unlimited mode has no fixed rounds. Answer, see your grade, tap Next. Stop whenever you like to see your total and your average per prompt.
- Fresh prompts. Hand-ranked categories plus letter puzzles built from master lists, and prompts you saw recently are skipped, so repeats are rare.
- Your choice of topics. Play everything at once, or pick one or more packs: geography, sports, movies & TV, animals, food, science, things & words.
- A daily as well. Want the shared once-a-day ritual too? The Outlier Daily gives everyone the same seven prompts.
How a run works
- Pick your pilot. Sundae the tuxedo cat, Millie the orange tabby or Dodomo the golden shaded kitten flies the UFO. Switch any time with the ⚙️ button.
- Read the prompt, for example “Name a dog breed” or “Name a country whose name ends in E”.
- Type one answer. If it isn’t on our list, our checker decides whether it still fits. A correct new answer scores S and joins the list; a wrong one lets you try again until the 30-second timer runs out.
- Get your grade. S, A or B decides how far your UFO flies.
- Keep going, or press End run to see your results and share your emoji grid.
How scoring works
Each prompt has a list of accepted answers, ranked from the one most people say to the one almost nobody says. Your score depends on where your answer lands:
| Grade | Where your answer sits | Your UFO flies |
|---|---|---|
| S · Ultra rare | 75–100% of the way from the most common answer to the rarest | 100 km |
| A · Rare | 40–75% of the way from the most common answer to the rarest | 60 km |
| B · Common | 0–40% of the way from the most common answer to the rarest | 30 km |
| No answer | Time ran out or you skipped | 0 km |
Each prompt also has one hand-picked 🌟 gem answer: obscure, but something a few people will actually think of. It always scores an S.
🔥 Hot streak bonus. Give rare answers (A or S) back to back and you earn extra distance: +10 km for the 2nd in a row, +20 for the 3rd, +30 for the 4th and +40 for every one after that. A B grade or a missed prompt ends the streak.
Seven S grades in a row take your UFO 700 km, a full lap. Typos and alternate names are accepted: “Holland” counts as the Netherlands and “Lichtenstein” is read as Liechtenstein.
Unlimited mode vs. the daily puzzle

| Same prompts for everyone | No, random each run | Yes, resets at 00:00 UTC |

Tips for finding rarer answers
- Say the obvious answer to yourself, then drop it. Your first thought is everyone’s first thought.
- Go sideways. For “Name a bird”, skip eagles and robins and think of a region: seabirds, Australian birds, birds you only see in a museum (the dodo still counts).
- Don’t chase the most obscure thing you know. Very rare answers are often missing from any list. A solid A beats a blank.
- Work the letter puzzles. For “contains the letter H” or “ends in E”, scan a mental map region by region instead of guessing.
- Watch the clock. Every prompt has a 30-second timer. Decide on your corner of the category early, and keep a safe answer in reserve for the last few seconds.
Why play an unlimited rare-answer game?
Short runs make a good warm-up before the daily, and long ones are an easy way to learn new countries, dog breeds or chemical elements without it feeling like study. Play a few prompts on the bus, or settle in for a long flight and see how many laps your UFO can manage.

FAQ
Is this Krillion?
No. Outlier is an independent game in the same rare-answer genre, with its own prompts, answer lists and artwork, and no cap on how many prompts you play. Krillion, at krillion.io, is a separate game we aren’t affiliated with.
How long is an unlimited run?
As long as you want. A run never ends on its own: keep answering and the UFO keeps flying, taking a victory lap every 700 km. Press End run whenever you’re done to see your total distance, your average per prompt and a shareable emoji grid. Starting a new run resets the flight.
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no paywall, no limit on prompts. Your stats are saved in your own browser, and you can sign in to keep them across devices.
What does “one in a krillion” mean?
It’s a playful twist on “one in a million”. A krillion isn’t a real number; it just means an answer so rare almost nobody else would think of it. In our game the equivalent is an S grade, and the best of all is the 🌟 gem answer.
Can I play only geography, sports or movie prompts?
Yes. In the menu above, tap one pack or several (say Geography and Sports) to mix only those; tap All to play everything. Each pack also has its own page, such as Geography, Sports or Movies & TV.
Is there a daily version?
Yes. The Outlier Daily gives everyone the same seven prompts each day, resetting at 00:00 UTC.
