What is Noillirk?
Noillirk is a free browser survey game in which the most common answer wins: you read a prompt such as "Name something people lose all the time", type what you think most people would say within 15 seconds, and a krill on a bunch of balloons rises higher the closer you get to the top answer. It is made by Daily (playdaily.org) as a reversed take on Krillion, where the rarest answer wins, and its name is Krillion spelled backwards.
How Noillirk works
A climb is 7 survey prompts with 15 seconds each. Every prompt has a board of nine answers: the number one answer reaches Sky High (100 points), answers two to four reach Jet Stream (64) and answers five to nine reach Cloud Nine (32). Answers off the board land lower, ranked by how many people would give them: Kite (16), Treetop (8) or Grounded (4). An answer that does not fit the prompt is turned away and costs only the seconds you spent typing it. Your score is your altitude, from a forest pond upward: a perfect 700-point climb reaches 14 km. The Daily climb gives everyone the same 7 prompts once a day and resets at midnight UTC; Classic deals 7 fresh prompts from a bank of about 2,400 whenever you like; Endless keeps dealing until your 3 balloons pop; and multiplayer rooms seat 30 players answering the same prompt. Daily says answers are judged against its own answer lists and, for answers those lists do not cover, an AI model, so a verdict is the game's estimate rather than a count from a real survey.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good for
- Family Feud fans who want a quick daily round: 7 prompts, 15 seconds each
- Krillion players who want the opposite challenge: thinking like the crowd instead of finding the rarest answer
- Groups: live multiplayer rooms seat 30, or open a private room for friends with nothing to sign up for
- Anyone who wants more than one game a day: Classic and Endless have no daily limit
Skip it if
- Players who want answers backed by a published survey. Boards come from Daily's own lists plus an AI model, and a verdict can change when answers are judged again
- Slow typists or anyone playing in a second language: each prompt gives you only 15 seconds
- Anyone who wants to replay past daily climbs: the official site has no archive
- Players who dislike ads: the free site shows them unless you pay for Daily Pro

- For each prompt, type the answer you think most people would give within 15 seconds; Daily's own guide advises the general word over a specific one (keys, not car keys).

Noillirk vs similar games
Krillion (krillion.io) is the game Noillirk reverses: there, the rarest correct answer scores most, and its solo developer runs a daily dive, an unlimited mode and an archive. Krillion rewards obscure knowledge; Noillirk rewards guessing what everyone else thinks, so being good at one does not make you good at the other.
Family Feud, the TV game show that began in 1976, is where the "most people said" format comes from, and its boards come from surveying real people. Noillirk turns the idea into a solo game with a 15-second clock and altitude instead of prize money, but its boards come from Daily's own lists and AI judging rather than a published survey.
Wordle-style games give everyone one puzzle a day and an emoji grid to share. Noillirk does the same with its Daily climb, but unlike most of them it also lets you keep playing with Classic, Endless and live rooms.

Noillirk FAQ
- Is Noillirk made by the Krillion developer?
- No. Noillirk is made by Daily (playdaily.org), which calls it its own game: Krillion with the rule reversed, so the most common answer scores highest instead of the rarest. Daily states that Noillirk is not made, sponsored or endorsed by the maker of the original Krillion.
- Which Noillirk site is the real one?
- playdaily.org/noillirk. Daily says it is the official and original game and that other sites using the name are not real. Several noillirk domains appeared in mid-October 2026, and some run different games with their own rules (more prompts, longer timers or another reset time), so their prompts, answers and scores do not match the official game.
- What time does Noillirk reset?
- The Daily climb resets at midnight UTC, which is 8 pm in New York and 5 pm in Los Angeles until US clocks change on November 1, 2026. Classic and Endless are not tied to the reset, so you can play them any time.
- How is Noillirk scored?
- By where your answer sits on the prompt's board of nine. The number one answer is Sky High (100 points), answers two to four are Jet Stream (64), and five to nine are Cloud Nine (32); answers off the board score Kite (16), Treetop (8) or Grounded (4). Seven prompts make a maximum of 700 points, shown as 14 km of altitude, and a turned-away answer scores nothing.
- How does Noillirk decide the most common answer?
- With its own answer lists, plus an AI model for answers those lists do not cover, according to Daily's disclaimer. The verdict is the game's estimate of how common an answer is, not a count from a published survey, and it can change when answers are judged again. That is why a reasonable answer sometimes lands lower than you expect.
- Is Noillirk free, and do I need an account?
- Yes, it is free with no daily limit, and you need no account or download. The site shows ads; Daily sells an optional Pro plan that removes them. Signing in is optional and keeps your progress on every device you sign in on.
- Where can I see today's Noillirk answers?
- On the official site, after you play: Show answers opens each prompt's board once your run is over. The official site has no archive of past daily climbs, and sites that post their own Noillirk answers often run a different game with different prompts, so their answers will not match playdaily.org.
- Can I play Noillirk with friends?
- Yes. Play multiplayer puts you in a live room of up to 30 players, or you can open a private room to share with friends. Everyone answers the same prompt against the same 15-second clock, then sees every answer and its points; whoever has climbed highest after the last prompt wins, with no host and no sign-up.
