Everyone said dog. You said axolotl — and sank 340 metres. Farout is a daily trivia dive where being right isn't enough. Seven prompts a day, twenty seconds each, one answer. Every valid answer scores but the fewer people who thought of yours, the deeper you go. The obvious answer keeps you floating at the surface. The answer nobody else remembered takes you to the trench floor. HOW THE DIVE WORKS • Seven prompts a day the same seven for everyone • Name anything that fits: countries, animals, films, food, people, history • Twenty seconds. One answer. No take-backs. • Common answers barely ripple the surface • Rare answers drop you hundreds of metres • Reach 700 points and you hit the bottom of the trench THIS IS NOT A QUIZ There is no multiple choice and no single right answer. Knowing the answer is easy. Knowing an answer nobody else will type is the whole game. Every dive rewards the corner of your memory you never get to use. DIVE WITH FRIENDS Everyone gets the same seven prompts, so everyone has the same shot. Share your depth, compare the answers you both missed, and find out who really knows the obscure stuff. KEEP YOUR STREAK Come back every day and build a streak. Track your deepest dive, your rarest answer, and how your knowledge holds up across categories. FAROUT UNLIMITED The daily dive is free, forever.
