30 seconds a question
Each question names a category. Type the answer you think most people would give before the ring closes. A pass or a timeout scores nothing, and the krill holds its height.

Sky Climb · A Crowdict stage
A trivia game that climbs toward space.
Sky Climb plays the Crowdict Daily as a balloon ride. You get the same ten questions as everyone else, 30 seconds each, while a small krill waits by a forest pond with three balloons tied on. Every answer the game accepts lifts it. The more people would give your answer, the higher it goes.
Your total is your height, and nothing ever pulls the krill back down. A good morning can take you from the pond to above the clouds before your coffee is cold.
Start today’s climb
01 / How the climb works
Points become height.
Five bands
Where your answer sits on the board puts it in one of five bands. Later questions count more: ×2 from question 3, ×3 from question 6, ×4 from question 9.
- Off the Board10 pts
- Top 1025 pts
- Top 550 pts
- Runner-up75 pts
- #1 Answer100 pts
A ruler up the side
100 points take you to 30m. The ruler counts your height and marks what you pass on the way, from the Eiffel Tower to the top of Everest.
Next when you’re ready
After each rise the result panel shows your band, the height you gained and the board’s top answers, then moves on. Tap the sky to skip the rise.
02 / The route
18 zones, from a forest pond to orbit.
Each zone has its own sky, scenery and creatures, and a banner names it as you climb in. A perfect Daily ends in zone 10; Unlimited runs keep going from there.
Zones 1–4
The forest floor
The climb starts at a still pond among tall trunks. Your first answers carry the krill past the treetops and out over a river valley.
Zones 5–8
Weather and peaks
Cloud closes in, then snow, then a storm. Good answers here lift you past the height of Everest.
Zones 9–13
Where the jets fly
Above the weather the sky darkens. Airliners pass below, the jet stream pulls, and the Earth starts to curve.
Zones 14–18
The edge of space
Only long Unlimited runs reach this far: glowing night clouds, the Kármán line, the aurora and finally orbit.
The Pond Path
0m – 3m
Moss, ferns and a still pond. The balloons are ready.
Among the Trunks
3m – 30m
Trunks like pillars, and sunbeams slanting in between.
The Treetops
30m – 120m
The tallest trees give out here. Above them, only sky.
Over the Valley
120m – 800m
Fields, a river and a village, all shrinking fast.
Into the Overcast
800m – 2,000m
Grey cotton on both sides. The ground is gone.
The Snowline
2,000m – 5,000m
Snowfields and sharp ridges. The air turns thin and cold.
Inside the Storm
5,000m – 8,000m
Black cloud all round, rain blown sideways, then a flash.
Everest Height
8,000m – 9,500m
Level with the highest summit on Earth, snow streaming off it.
Cruising Altitude
9,500m – 12.0 km
Airliners draw white lines across the sky. The sun starts to sink.
The Jet Stream
12.0 km – 16.0 km
Wind faster than a train, and the sun going down in red.
The Ozone Layer
16.0 km – 30.0 km
Airliners are far below now. The last of the sunset clings to the curve of the world.
The High Stratosphere
30.0 km – 50.0 km
The sky overhead has gone black. Only balloons the size of stadiums get this high.
The Mesosphere
50.0 km – 80.0 km
Too thin to breathe, but thick enough to set grit from space alight.
Noctilucent Clouds
80.0 km – 100 km
Electric-blue ripples of ice, glowing over the night side of the world.
The Karman Line
100 km – 180 km
From here up, wings are no use at all. Only a rocket keeps climbing.
The Aurora
180 km – 350 km
Green curtains of light ripple over the poles, far beneath your feet.
Station Orbit
350 km – 450 km
A station laps the planet every hour and a half. Here comes the sunrise.
Low Earth Orbit
450 km – 2,000 km
Day on one side, night on the other, and satellites everywhere you look.
03 / Play together
Challenge a friend to out-climb you.
Every Daily ends with Share & challenge. It makes a card with your height and zone, and a short text with a coloured circle for each answer, never the answers themselves.
A friend who opens your link plays the same ten questions with your krill rising beside theirs, your name over its head. When yours is out of view, an arrow on their ruler shows how far there is to go. The higher krill wins.
Want everyone at once? Start a live party and share the room code. The full rules are in how to play and scoring, and the other settings are on all stages.
04 / Good to know
Questions about Sky Climb.
Is Sky Climb a different game from Crowdict?
No. Sky Climb is one of Crowdict's stages: the same ten Daily questions, the same scoring and the same leaderboard, shown as a balloon ride.
Does a Daily I play here count on the home page?
Yes. Your result, streak and saved progress are shared across every stage on this browser, so you can start here and finish anywhere.
How high can the krill go?
A perfect Daily of 2,500 points ends at 14.0 km, in The Jet Stream. Endless Unlimited runs keep climbing all the way to orbit.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. Sky Climb is free and runs in your browser. Sign in only if you want your streak on more than one device.
Can I play with Rare scoring?
This page plays the Crowd Daily. Choose Rare on the home page to climb with the uncommon answers instead.
