Game Modes & Expedition Configurations

Krillion offers flexible game configurations tailored for casual trivia exploration, competitive depth racing, domain-specific study, or infinite AI-generated custom expeditions.

1. Exploration Mode (Standard Default)

The balanced, standard way to experience Krillion. Players navigate through 7 randomized prompts with 20-second timers and detailed round recap analysis.

Focuses on learning, discovering interesting facts about deep-sea entities, and exploring alternate rare answers.

2. Rarity Race Mode (High-Pressure Speed Diving)

For seasoned players seeking a fast-paced test of instant recall.

Timers can be tightened down to 15 seconds per prompt, where speed bonuses and consecutive streak multipliers make or break a high-depth run.

3. Category & Domain Filter Dives

Supported core domain filters include:

  • Ocean & Deep Abyss (Trenches, Marine Mammals, Cephalopods, Bioluminescence)
  • Science & Chemistry (Periodic Table, Minerals, Physics Paradoxes, Noble Gases)
