The short answer
"NBA Krillion" is not an official product name. It is what fans type when they want Krillion-style trivia about basketball, and the game that fills that gap is Curryillion. Curryillion even describes itself as "NBA Krillion-style trivia". You can play it on our homepage.
What is Krillion?
Krillion is a free daily trivia game built around a simple twist: correct answers are weighted by rarity, so knowing what other people do not remember earns more points. Each round has seven questions, and the top scoring tier is called "One in a Krillion". It covers general knowledge rather than one sport.
How Curryillion brings the format to the NBA
Curryillion keeps the rare-answer idea and dresses it in basketball:
- Basketball only. Seven daily prompts about NBA players, teams and stats.
- A 24-second shot clock. Each prompt gives you 24 seconds, the length of an NBA possession.
- Shot-distance scoring. Common answers are Layups, rare ones are Half Court shots, and one hidden answer per prompt is the One in a Curryillion.
- Every era counts. Unless a prompt says otherwise, any NBA player in history is a valid answer.
- One in a Curryillion+100
- Half Court+70
- Three Pointer+45
- Free Throw+25
- Layup+10
- Brick0
