About Name Chain
A daily name-overlap puzzle where two famous people are linked by a shared name, and each wrong guess reveals the next clue.
Name Chain sits in our trivia games list because it keeps the part of Krillion that matters: a board everyone shares and an answer worth committing to. Prefer the original? The Krillion Unlimited mode has no daily cap, and the daily Krillion game serves one shared dive a day.
