2minutedrillion: the NFL Krillion-style football trivia game
2minutedrillion is a free daily trivia game that works like Krillion, but NFL themed and football themed. Everyone gets the same seven prompts each day. You have 25 seconds to name a player who fits, and the rarer your correct answer, the bigger the play. Instead of sinking deeper, you march an 8-bit offense down the field.
How scoring works
Obvious answers are checkdowns worth 5 yards. Slightly less obvious answers are tight end screens worth 10. Solid answers are a catch and run for about 30. Answers most fans would never think of are deep balls for 45 to 60. One answer per prompt, the rarest of all, is a Hail Mary touchdown. Some obscure players are famous for something off the field, so naming them draws a holding flag and costs 10 yards. A wrong answer costs nothing but time: you can keep guessing until the play clock hits zero, and then you are sacked for a loss of 3 to 7.
The prompts
Prompts lean modern: teammates of a star, members of a team from 2015 on, players who suited up for two franchises, college programs, jersey numbers, positions, draft classes and stat lines, plus one curveball most days. Answers come from every NFL roster on record.
Is there an NFL version of Krillion?
Yes, this is one. If you searched for NFL Krillion or football Krillion, 2minutedrillion is that idea built around a football field, a play clock and a scoreboard. A new drive is posted every day at midnight Eastern, and practice drives are unlimited.
