How it works
- Read the category. “Name a cheese.” “Name a country in Africa.” “Name a Pixar film.”
- Type one answer in 20 seconds. It has to be real. Off-topic answers don’t count, but you can try again.
- Score by rarity. The most common answer gets 10 points. One hardly anyone names gets up to 100.
Every answer lands in a rarity tier, and your result card shows one square per question:
- 🟪 Ultra rare (80+)
- 🟥 Rare (55+)
- 🟨 Uncommon (30+)
- ⬜ Common (10+)
- ⬛ No answer
150 questions across food, animals, geography, movies, sports and music, with more added every week.
FAQ
How does scoring work?
Each question has a list of every valid answer. Common answers score 10 points; answers almost nobody thinks of score up to 100. A round is 7 questions, so the best possible score is 700.
How do you know which answers are rare?
For now, by how often each answer's English Wikipedia article is read over a year — popular things come to mind first. As more people play, scores will also use what players actually answer.
What counts as a valid answer?
Anything on the question's answer list, which is built from Wikidata. Capitals, accents and small typos don't matter, and common alternative names work. Made-up or off-topic answers don't count, but you can try again until the timer runs out.
Can I play more than once a day?
Yes. Unlimited mode gives you a fresh set of 7 questions every round, as many rounds as you like. The Daily is the same 7 questions for everyone and changes at 00:00 UTC.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Your settings and daily score stay in your browser.
Is Think Rarer the same as Krillion?
No. Think Rarer is an independent game with its own questions and answer data. If you enjoy Krillion or other rare-answer games you'll feel at home here, but Think Rarer is not affiliated with them.
