Rare-Answer Trivia: Scoring and Practice Questions

How does rarity scoring work?

An accepted answer earns 10, 15, 30, 60, 85 or 100 points. Published answer lists use editorial rarity tiers, rather than a live count of answers submitted by players. Every point takes the diver 10 metres deeper in a Daily Dive, so a perfect seven-answer score reaches 7,000 metres. The practice examples below show the points assigned in Noillirk Daily.

Try a correct answer before looking

Read the scope note, think of one answer, then reveal examples from our practice packs. A more obscure answer can score higher, provided it matches the category. These examples are from practice sets.

Compare two correct trivia answers

For the practice question asking for a country with a land border with Germany, France earns 10 points and Luxembourg earns 100. Both answer the question correctly. Choosing Luxembourg adds 1,000 metres to your dive instead of 100. These are the game’s assigned scores for that particular trivia question.

What if the game rejects my answer?

Check the question's scope and spelling. If there is time left, try another answer. A suggested spelling is only submitted after you confirm it. After a dive, open a round in the recap to see accepted answers or send an answer appeal. See the game rules for the full round flow. The game’s question sources and licences describe the underlying reference datasets.
