THE DAILY BASKETBALL CHALLENGE
Play NBA Krillion: the daily long shot game
NBA Krillion is a free daily basketball trivia game for fans who remember more than the headline names. Find a player for each of seven NBA prompts, beat the 25-second shot clock, and watch your range grow across the court and beyond.
A star might be the safe answer, but a forgotten role player could take you much farther. Each board has fixed scores based on career profiles, with one or two 100-point buzzer beaters. These are estimates of how familiar a name is, not live guess percentages.
Read the prompt, type a player's name, and press Shoot or Enter. An incorrect guess leaves you time to try again. Explore the full answer board after each shot, then share your seven-round distance.
Keep shooting in unlimited mode. Every game ID gives everyone the same seven prompts and scores. Each new game loads its own page, while your daily streak stays separate.
1,910 prompts · 5,002 historical players · 74,128 accepted answer entries. The frozen question library covers NBA regular seasons and honors through 2024–25; earlier BAA history counts, ABA statistics do not.

NBA Krillion FAQ
What is NBA Krillion?
NBA Krillion is a daily long shot hoops game. Name NBA players in 25 seconds, find rare answers, build streaks, and share your basketball trivia score.
How does unlimited mode work?
Choose Unlimited for seven more prompts, then Play Another Game for a fresh game ID. A link such as ?unlimited&gameid=22332 always opens the same set of prompts and scores. Your progress is saved separately for each game, and unlimited results do not change your daily streak.
How are long shots scored?
Each board ranks players using career points, appearances, All-Star selections, and MVP awards from the frozen data snapshot. Familiar careers usually earn fewer points; deeper cuts earn more. One or two names on every board are worth 100. Scores stay fixed, and each point adds one foot to your range.
Which seasons and players count?
All answer boards use records through the completed 2024–25 season. Regular-season NBA appearances count, including BAA history; ABA and playoff statistics do not. Earlier franchise names count where stated. Draft questions refer to the original drafting team, before trades. All-Star and award questions specify career achievements, which may have come with another team.
Do I need exact spelling?
Accents, punctuation, spacing, and suffixes such as Jr. are optional. Common names such as Shaq, Steph Curry, Magic Johnson, and Ron Artest work. Use a full name if a nickname is ambiguous. Every accepted name and its points can be viewed after the shot.
What happens when I guess incorrectly?
You hear a rim hit and can try another name. The timer continues running. When the 25 seconds end, an unanswered prompt scores zero.
When does the daily game change?
The selection rotates at midnight UTC. Everyone gets the same seven prompts for that date. Practice replays do not replace your first saved daily result.
Are my results and streak saved?
Your completed daily game and streak are saved in this browser when local storage is available. Use the same browser to keep them together.
How do I turn the game sounds off?
Use the speaker button in the top right. Sound begins after you tap Tip Off, and your mute preference is remembered in this browser.
