Books Dive

Seven Books prompts, 25 seconds each, one answer apiece. The rarer your answer, the deeper you sink.

How it works: you see a prompt, type one answer and press Enter. Obvious answers score little; rare but real ones score big.

Example: "Name a fruit" → Apple +10 is what everyone says, Salak +100 is what almost nobody says.

Scoring happens in your browser and stats stay on this device. Answers that miss our list are logged as text only, with no account or profile, to improve the prompts.

About the Books pack

Everyone can name a Dr Seuss title or a Dickens novel, which is exactly why the Surface zone here fills up in seconds. The score comes from what you remember after the famous ones run out. Ask for a Sherlock Holmes story and The Hound of the Baskervilles arrives instantly, while The Musgrave Ritual takes a genuine re-read of the canon.

The Books pack uses fixed collections: Nobel laureates, Booker and Pulitzer winners, Russian classics, nineteenth and twentieth century novels, famous poems and ancient Greek and Roman works. It also covers Tolkien's maps, Terry Pratchett, Dr Seuss, picture books, children's series and the casts of Narnia, Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games. Titles ignore punctuation and a leading The.

The best way to go deep is to stop thinking about the headline books. For prize lists, work through decades instead of fame: think of the 1930s Pulitzer shelf or the early Booker years. For series, list the minor companions, the second-tier villains and the places on the map. Quick dives here double as a reading list for the next time you want something unfamiliar.

This pack currently has 24 prompts and 1,940 accepted answers, all written for this site.
