What people mean by "soccer Krillion"
If you searched for soccer Krillion or Krillion football, you are probably after a particular kind of quiz: one where getting an answer right is not enough, and the obscure correct answer beats the obvious one. Footbillion is a football game built entirely around that idea, using squads, scorers, coaches, cities and club seasons instead of general knowledge.
To be clear from the start: Footbillion is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Krillion or its makers. We mention the name only because it is how many people describe this style of game when they search for a football version.
How Footbillion turns rare answers into points
Every Footbillion prompt has a complete list of correct answers taken from open match data. Each answer carries a fixed transfer value. The best-known name in the list is worth £10m, the least-known is worth £150m, and everything else sits in £5m steps in between. You get three tries and a 45-second clock, and your first valid answer locks in. Seven prompts make a set, and seven perfect deep cuts add up to £1.05bn.
That pricing is worked out from a fame score: tournaments played, matches, goals, awards, finals, league titles and seasons in the top flight. It is the same for every player, so a score is a fair comparison between friends.
The football prompts you will see
The Footbillion bank holds well over a thousand prompts. A typical set mixes World Cup squads, goalscorers for a nation, goalkeepers, coaches, host cities and teams that reached the knockouts with club questions from the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Champions League. There is also a full set of women's World Cup prompts and a dedicated World Cup quiz.
A worked example from the bank
Here is one real prompt with its answers grouped by value. Picking a name from the top row is worth up to fifteen times more than the most famous name in the bottom row.
Name a player in the Sweden squad (1970 Men's World Cup)

- No account. Stats and streaks stay in your browser.
Tips if you are new to rarity quizzes
Start with a safe name if the clock is running low; £10m is better than nothing. When you have time, think about the edges of a list: substitute goalkeepers, players from the earliest tournaments, promoted clubs that went straight back down, and nations that qualified only once. After each shot Footbillion shows the rarest and the most obvious answers, so your instincts improve quickly.
Independent and unofficial
Footbillion is a small fan-made game. Its code, design, scoring and question bank were written from scratch. Krillion is a separate game owned by others, and FIFA, UEFA, league and club names are used only to describe real competitions. If you are looking for the original Krillion, please visit its official site; if you want rarity scoring applied to football, you are in the right place.
