FAQ

Rarest Answer is a free trivia game you play in the browser. A prompt asks you to name something that fits. Every accepted answer is correct, and a rarer correct answer scores more.

A daily round is seven prompts. Everyone playing that day gets the same seven. The set resets at local midnight. Unlimited play is a separate mode at /unlimited/. A single category is at /trivia/<category>/ for geography, animals, food, sports, screen, music, science, and history. You can turn the timer off. Spotlight doubles the points for one prompt, once per round. The rule card is /guides/how-to-play-rarest-answer/.

Six tiers, from most common to rarest: Common 5, Familiar 10, Uncommon 20, Rare 40, Epic 70, Legendary 100. Tier 6 is the rarest. A guess that is not on the prompt's list scores nothing for that prompt. These tier names belong to this game.

There is no account. Streak and round stats stay in localStorage on this device. Clearing site data clears them, and another browser does not have them. The site also stores a theme choice, the cookie-consent choice, dismissed-banner flags, and a per-page helpfulness flag in localStorage. None of that is an account.

Prompt lists are compiled from Wikidata (CC0) and Wikipedia or Wiktionary pageview counts. An answer is ranked only against the other answers to the same prompt. A real name can be missing when that public data does not include it. The index of prompts is /rarest-answers/. One prompt is /answers/<slug>/.

Rarest Answer is an independent daily trivia game. Pages about other games are unofficial and are not affiliated with those games. Krillion and every other game named on the game and guide pages is a separate product. This site is not affiliated with those games, their creators, or Roblox.
