I love the visual aesthetic. Fun idea!

Thank you so much! The pixel art took a lot of iterations, glad it shows!

The agent is too helpful, I got away with stuff like "The one with the southmost shinkansen" for rarest Japanese city, which it substituted for the answer to that (which I didn't know)

I see, thanks a lot for the feedback! That's a real hack of my LLM haha, I'll fix it within the hour!

This was so fun! What a delight, thank you. After the first round I wanted to keep playing, so habitually I just tapped whichever button that most closely resembled ‘play again’, and it took me a couple questions to understand that it was a different mode. Maybe putting “type the OLDEST answer”, or “the deepest cut” above the prompt box would help.

Also the model’s feedback was surprisingly astute! I expected “incorrect”, but got “Help was a top-selling Beatles album, but it sold under 20 million copies.” Love learning during games.

Great work, the lot of you!

Most wonderful fact is that 55% of people dream of visiting Paris. Of course living just next to Paris puts a damper to any desire to visit

I also grew up next to Paris so I completely get it. Once you know it, it's less of a dream. Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

Just tried this on my phone and had fun. Got 260/700 in Sky — somehow “peanuts” and “Michael Jackson” were my only perfect answers lol.

Thanks for trying it garah!

I love that I could justify my answer to it - spoiler below

I chose CompuServe for oldest file sharing service, and it told me that it was an online service not a cloud file hosting service. I then answered "CompuServe had file sharing" and I received 100pts

I'm really glad you liked it! That's one of the big advantages of using LLMs instead of relying on a fixed list of answers. Thanks so much for playing! :)

Lots of fun, but one really annoying bug that makes it hard to play: anytime I have an answer that isn’t accepted, and then go to type in a new answer, the keyboard completely covers the text box which makes it impossible to delete or edit the previous answer! Safari on IOS 26.6.2

Thank you so much for reporting this bug! It should be fixed now, let me know if it still happens. Thanks again for playing! :)

Firefox on Android, sometimes the question is off screen after answering a question

Should be fixed now: the question stays visible after you answer on Firefox Android. Thanks for reporting it!

Mobile safari has the first question of each round covered by the keyboard. The resort of the questions are correctly laid out

Fixed too: the first question of each round now stays above the keyboard on iOS Safari

Love the visual style!

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it

Plenty of good answers were rejected, especially where typos were concerned. On the coffee shop question, CK's coffee shop wasn't found and Waffle House was rejected, but Paul's was a top answer? Paul's also serves breakfast food. Seems arbitrary. Memphis Colosseum was rejected probably because the proper spelling is Coliseum. But how could it not find it from "Memphis Colosseum"? It's easily found (and the spelling corrected) in Google Search.

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback! Most answers are first checked against a fixed list, to avoid making too many LLM calls. Unfortunately, for latency and playability reasons, we can't do much deeper online searches: every call would cost a lot and take too long. So about 1 to 1.5% of answers end up judged a bit unfairly, but we're actively working on improving the model. Thanks again for your feedback!

queue jev...

I'm sorry but is this not just another AI remake of a very common game type?

I recall playing an identical game a few months ago, also on the HN front page.

https://www.krillion.org/

That site just opened a malware page and tried to make phone calls. I had to force kill my browser to get it to stop.

I think https://krillion.io/ is the original.

Thanks you for the feedback, the concept doesn't come from Krillion or from me, there was already a game called Pointless on TV way before that, and Sky is straight up Family Feud, Past and Future are our own concepts And the graphics, even if the code and the implementation were obviously written with AI like 100% of people coding a big project today, they're human made

But the Abyss mode looks almost identical to krillion - from the very concept of trying to guess rare answers, to the nautical diving theme, down to the almost-pixel-art style..?

It's incredible to suggest that this wasn't based on either Krillion, or that both games were based on something else.

(To be clear, I'm not accusing you of explicitly lifting the concept - but that's the problem with using AI to generate too much, it'll obviously re-use what it's seen before.)

edit: actually, you say "A large part of the code was written with AI tools, but the artistic direction the concept and every choice design are human-made" - it's just wildly improbable for the two to look and feel so similar.

The UI and graphics are 100% just a reskin of Krillion...

Yes this is clearly just a minor extension of Krillion, but that one was also AI-generated so it's hard to feel bad for them.

Actual site is https://krillion.io/ - the one you link embeds it in a frame.

rapper with a stage name

Very nice visual and sound experience, congrats!

Thanks a lot!! glad you enjoyed it :)

Are there no accounts? Can I not continue playing on a different PC?

The sloppiness shows, the performance is awful (Firefox on Pixel 8)

Thanks a lot for the feedback chrome tells the page exactly where the keyboard is and firefox doesn't... and in that case my layout keeps the question above the visible area. I'll try to fix it Thank again!

It's not slop.

no u

Rarest is terrible. I absolutely know that baked ube is a street food, and way less likely to be guessed than Udon, and yet I'm penalized for nobody else guessing it yet?

I didn't even play latest and oldest, because that's just a guessing game.

Oldest is fine and fun. It's oldest in terms of when, not answers. The oldest pyramid for example.

I agree that the rarest wasn't nearly as entertaining or fun. Perhaps that one needs a list to pick from.

It was fun!

Thanks a lot for playing!! :)

love it, the sound effects make it feel so immersive

thank you!! Sound was a big part of the feel we wanted it's really nice to hear

That was a lot of fun! Thank you:)

Glad you had fun, thanks for trying it!!

Love the "what none do" twist, I bet my first instinct would always be the most popular answer. Is it the same question for everyone each day?

Thanks a lot! Yes, everyone gets the same 4 rounds each day (in their own language) that's what makes the daily leaderboard

Is it possible to see how many people are playing today?

Yes! You can see the Leaderboard it shows how many people played each mode today

Fun game! But it looks like matching has a bug:

The question was "Name something that's expensive when travelling" in the most common answer category.

I wrote "tickets", meaning plane tickets, and it categorized my answer as "Entrance fees (you)" instead of the top answer of "Plane ticket".

That makes sense to me; people commonly buy tickets for local events while on vacation. Perhaps it should detect and warn about that kind of ambiguity, though.

I was playing the "Future" section and put "Milliway's" from The Hitchhiker's Guide series when it asked for a fictional restaurant; it only gave me 10 points and said it was from 70s. Milliways is very explicitly positioned in time at the end of the universe, so I should've been awarded maximum points there :)

Hi thanks for the feedback! In Past and Future, what counts is when the thing first came out, not when the story takes place, so Milliways counts as 1978 (the radio series). I agree it's not obvious with sci-fi though o I think I'll add a mention somewhere

Love the soundtrack + very, very fun

Thanks a lot!! Really glad you liked the soundtrack :)

Super fun, great idea and scope!

Thanks a lot!

Didn't accept half my answers even though they were valid. Good luck replicating krillion.io next time.

It incorrectly said that Li Xiang was not acceptable as a brand named after its founder

Yeah I feel like it's a core problem with these games, especially when asking for rare answers, it's impossible to get the knowledge base right.

'HashiCorp is not named after a person; the name comes from "hash" (computing) and "corp"'

Nah it's named after the founder Mitchell Hashimoto.

Per the wikipedia summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HashiCorp

> The company name HashiCorp is a portmanteau of co-founder last name Hashimoto and Corporation.

I typed Pentax (a pumps brand) for the least mentioned Italian brands question. It insisted that it's the Japanese cameras brand.

The aesthetics are nice, but I think the idea of the game itself is seriously flawed.

Great game. Had a lot of fun and shared this with my friends.

I like the fact no account is required.

Thanks a lot and thanks for sharing it with your friends! we wanted people to be playing within 5 seconds of landing on the page. Glad you had fun! :)

This is like trivia but you get participation points along the way. Awesome game!

Thanks a lot!! Glad you had fun :)

Down is much harder than up. Loved the ending.

Thanks a lot!! Yes the abyss is meant to be the hard one. Really glad you liked the ending, it took us a while to get it right :)

The judging for the "newest" seems a bit odd - for viral toy I answered 'Labubu' which the AI dates to 2015, which might be when they were first introduced to the market, but not when they had their viral hype. For newest palace I answered Berliner Stadtschloss which was opened in 2020, but the AI dates it back to 1443

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Both dates are actually "right" from the game's point of view: Labubu was created in 2015 (the viral hype came way later), and construction of the Berliner Stadtschloss started in 1443, the 2020 opening is the reconstruction. In Past and Future, what counts is when the thing first came out/was created, and the dates come from the Wikipedia API. I agree it's not obvious when the question says "viral" or "newest" though, so I'll make those questions more precise. Thanks again for playing! :)

Similarly it asked for Formula 1 World Champion, in the "most recent" game, so I put in Lando Norris, who won last year, but the answer is Max Verstapen because he was born in 1999 and Lando was 1997, it took me a few minutes to even figure out what the leaderboard was saying..

Some clarity there would be much better

Incredible

Thanks you!

>Name a Christmas film

Die Hard (you) 26.7%

Haha the debate is settled then, Die Hard is a Christmas film

I did it! Almost.

1824th of 1824. Dead last with a score of 60 that your game handed me on a misspelling. I typed Windy's and it changed it to Wendy's and awarded a correct answer.

I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Great work. I’m bored of Krillion because the AI judge sucks and the animations are WAAAAYYYYY too long. This feels like an upgrade in every way. Will add to my daily rotation of snacks, thank you :)

Thanks a lot, that's really kind! Glad it made it into your daily rotation :)

I’m from a non-English-speaking country, but I understood how to play right away. I did struggle a bit with questions about things like British TV series, though. The game has a wonderful atmosphere, and I really enjoyed playing it!

Thank you! Really glad it was clear even in English. You can switch the game to your own language too :)

This is super fun added it to my home screen.

On my iphone17e, some answers don't scroll so I can't click to continue to the next question.

Thanks for reporting this! it should be fixed now

The artstyle is amazing! Great job!

Thanks a lot!! :)

Creative idea, I like it.

This would be fun to play in groups, comparing answers after each round, but I think the strict timer would make that impossible. Maybe add a different mode?

Also I love the through yet swift feedback on incorrect answers. Did you leverage decision models for that?

Thanks! A group mode without the timer is a great idea, noted.

Looks like a straight https://krillion.io clone with some trivial extensions and a much smaller sampling base?

Beijing being 3rd less popular answer for "Asian capital city" is pretty bizarre.

I did also notice that in the abyss mode I gave some answers that "should" be popular but weren't and I'm wondering if it's simply because of small sample size.

Can't use it as my font size is larger than average (due to bad vision) and I can't always access the next question button.

Nice, but doesn't accept Waking Violet as a valid Nintendo Switch game

Fun playing this one!

Thank you!

Is there a place other than this post to submit feedback? I have found a number of issues with answers accepted/not accepted

Nice game! There's no noticeable feedback form on the site. I played it today and was a bit peeved that "Ocean's 11" for "oldest heist movie" matched the 2001 film especially as "Ocean's 11 (1960)" was actually in the list. That's not what the movie was called in 1960... I guess there's some improvements to the matching needed.

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback! You're right about Ocean's 11. Right now the judge gets it wrong about 1.5% of the time, and I'm actively monitoring it to try to find a solution for cases like this one. Thanks again for playing! :)

I love this game. I had a great time and the aesthetic is really neat. I like how simple it is as well. I've always been a fan of the ending of Family Feud, so this was fun.

I didn't run into any bugs or issues, and I would say I understood the goal of the game from a quick skim.

Thanks a lot!! Glad you had fun and that the goal was clear :) Sky is pretty much our Family Feud tribute haha
