Name answers from today's list, one at a time. Each answer takes your diver one stop deeper, and each one has to beat the one before. The more stops you make, the higher your score.
The biggest mistake is opening with the biggest answer you know. If today's list is units of time and you start with "hour", only "day", "week" and a few others can come after it. Start with "second" and almost everything fits.
After a few stops, think about the gaps. Each answer you give closes off everything smaller than it, so take small steps while you can and save the giants for the end. The biggest answer on the list is the ocean floor: reach it last and you have made every stop you could. If you're not sure whether something beats your last answer, pick a safer one you are sure of.
Every list is laid out down a real ocean, from the sunlit zone near the surface to the trenches of the hadal zone. Where an answer sits on the list decides how deep its stop is, so the biggest answers take you into the dark.
The first five stops are the way down. From stop 6 on, some stops bring a sea creature card: an animal that really lives at that depth, from common to legendary. Not every stop brings a card, and some cards are shiny. Reach the ocean floor after stop 5 and the card there is always shiny. Your logbook keeps every species you have found.
Your score is how many stops you make. If you reach the biggest answer on the list, the ocean floor, your dive gets a star. After each dive you can see how it compares with everyone else's, which answers would have taken you deeper, and one surprising fact from the list.
Play every day to build a streak. Only the daily dive counts toward your stats; the archive and the practice shelf are just for fun.
The share card shows your dive stop by stop with the creatures you met, and no names or numbers. Your friends see how deep you got without learning a single answer.
Anything that doesn't beat your last answer on today's measure. A tie counts as smaller too, so every answer has to be strictly bigger than the one before.
The box suggests matches as you type and ignores accents, capitals and small typos like a missing "the". You can also tap the empty box to browse every answer by name.
No. Names come without numbers, and the value is revealed when you reach the stop. That's the trivia part.
Your score is the number of stops you make. Reaching the biggest answer on the list, the ocean floor, earns a star.
You reach the ocean floor at once, and the dive ends after one stop with no cards. How deep a stop sits depends on where its answer is on the list, so skipping ahead never takes you deeper. It only costs you stops.
Cards start at stop 6, and even then not every stop brings one. The chance grows with each stop, you never go more than three card stops in a row without a creature, and reaching the ocean floor after stop 5 always brings a shiny card.
No. Your dives, stats and logbook live in your browser. The optional Peakle Pass uses a restore code instead of an account.
