Diamond in the Rough
A trivia game about being right in a way nobody else is. Give a correct answer that few people would think of, and the drill goes deeper.
How to play
Five digs. Each one is a question with 20 seconds on the clock. The rarer your correct answer, the deeper the drill goes. Hit a cavern and you pick a way out, left or right, into a cave of its own. Your choice sets the topic of a bonus question. A wrong answer costs nothing: keep trying until the clock runs out.

Claude judges each answer and estimates how rare it is. These are estimates, not real player data.
Answers are judged by an AI (Claude). Rarity is its estimate, not a count of real players.

A tunnel leads off each side to a different cave. Pick one: it sets the topic of your bonus question.
