What Nobody Said Sports is
Nobody Said Sports is a free sports trivia game where knowing the less famous answers is how you win. Each question names a corner of the sporting world, such as a Premier League club, an NBA team, a golf term, a Winter Olympic event or a famous horse race. Any correct answer scores, but the answers everyone thinks of first are worth very little and the ones almost nobody names are worth the most. If you were searching for Krillion sports or an unlimited sports game like Krillion, this is our own version of that idea: one daily round that every player shares, plus unlimited rounds with no daily limit.
The sports pack has more than 55 questions, each with a long list of accepted answers. About a third are about soccer; the rest cover basketball, American football, baseball, ice hockey, tennis, golf, cricket, rugby, boxing, Formula 1, swimming, gymnastics, the Olympics and more. We only accept answers we are sure about and we leave out lists that change every season, like current squads. In unlimited mode questions do not repeat until you have played the whole pack.
How to play
- Pick a mode. Play Daily gives you today’s six sports questions, the same for every player and picked by the date in UTC, with one try a day. Play unlimited starts six fresh questions whenever you like.
- A sports question appears and a 30 second timer starts. Reloading the page does not reset it: the daily round picks up where you left off.
- Type one answer and press Submit or Enter. If it is not on our list you can try another one while time is left.
- Once an answer is accepted you see how rare it was, the answer most people give, and the three rarest answers on our list.
- If time runs out first, that question scores 0.
- After the daily round you see your score, a countdown to the next daily and a button to keep playing unlimited. In unlimited, press Next round to play six new questions straight away.
- Unlimited rounds skip today’s daily questions, so you never see them there first.
How the scoring works
Every accepted answer has a number attached: our estimate of how many people out of 100 would give that same answer. The rarer the answer, the more it is worth, from 1 point for the most obvious reply up to 100 points for something almost nobody would think of. When you answer, a crowd of 100 dots lights up to show how many people would have said the same thing. Each answer then lands in one of five bands:
- Everybody said it: 15 or more people in 100. Safe, but worth about 22 points or less.
- Plenty said it: 6 to 14 people in 100.
- A few said it: 2.5 to 5 people in 100.
- Hardly anyone: 1 to 2 people in 100, usually worth around 55 to 70 points.
- Nobody said it: fewer than 1 person in 100. These are worth more than 70 points, and they are what you are hunting for.
Rarity is our estimate, not live player data. We wrote every answer list by hand and judged how common each answer would be from general knowledge. It is not a survey and it does not change based on what other players type. A round has six questions, so the best possible score is 600.
Answers are checked kindly. Capital letters, accents and punctuation do not matter, plurals count, a leading "the" is ignored, and in words of five letters or more one wrong, missing or swapped letter is forgiven. Team names work with or without the city, so Lakers and Los Angeles Lakers both count. If a typo could match two different answers, we ask you to try again instead of guessing.
Nobody Said Sports and Krillion
Nobody Said Sports is an independent game made by Gizmo Yard. It is not Krillion and is not affiliated with it. If you want the original daily game, Krillion is made by its own developer and has its own themed packs. Every question and answer list here is our own.
Want something other than sport? Nobody Said has the same rules with more than 120 general questions about food, animals, films and everyday life, and Nobody Said Geography sticks to countries, capitals, cities, rivers and islands.
Tips for rare sports answers
- The biggest clubs and teams score least. Think of smaller clubs, teams that were relegated, or champions from long ago.
- Your own country’s sport is a good hunting ground: a cricket or rugby fan will know answers that most people never think of.
- Spelling does not have to be perfect: accents are ignored and one wrong letter in a long name is forgiven.
