How far down do you know
An open-answer trivia game where the answer is never a list. A prompt names a category, you type one thing inside it, and the tunnel under the rabbit goes deeper the fewer players had your idea. Metres are the score, and the ground is drawn in layers you can actually see.
Most trivia hands you four options and one of them is right. Hopdown hands you a category and waits.
The gap between knowing a category and producing something unusual inside it is where the whole game lives, and it is a different skill from recall.
There is no points total on screen, only depth. A safe answer moves the bunny down a few dozen metres; a reply nobody else gave sends it past the first soil band and into older ground. The scale is drawn in strata, so a run of three weak prompts is visible as a tunnel that barely leaves the topsoil. Depth also gives the quest system something concrete to ask for, which a percentage-based score would not.
Ask for a volcano and Vesuvius is correct, Etna is correct, and a mud volcano in Azerbaijan is correct too. The game does not keep a preferred answer, so the question becomes how far from the first name you can travel while staying inside the category. A reply that does not belong is refused without penalty, which keeps the field honest without punishing a near miss in wording.
Multiplayer here has no lobby to sit in: a room is the whole format. One screen can host a party, with everyone answering the same prompts in turn and the tunnel updating as the group goes. The other option is a live race, where each player answers on their own device and the depths are compared at the end of every round. Signing in is optional for both, which is why a party can start without anybody creating an account.
Daily quests sit alongside the dive as small side goals: play a few rounds, or reach a depth such as 1,500 m or 3,000 m in a single run. They are the reason a mediocre run still has a purpose, because a quest can be satisfied by a tunnel that would be unremarkable on the leaderboard. Seasonal events add their own goals for a limited stretch and then disappear.
The daily dive is a shared set, which makes it fair to compare and impossible to repeat. Unlimited deals new prompts for as long as you want to keep digging, and the two modes share the same scoring so practice carries over. Most players use the daily set as the result that counts and Unlimited as the place to test whether a strange answer is actually rare or merely strange.

Open prompts, a visible depth and modes that fit a room.
The burrow is drawn in strata, so progress is a shape rather than a figure. A shallow run and a deep one look different before any number is read.
Nothing is restricted to a shortlist. If the reply belongs to the category, it is in play, and the only question left is how many others thought of it.
One device can host the whole room, with prompts shared and the tunnel updating as answers arrive. Nobody needs to install anything to join in.
Everyone answers on their own screen and depths are compared each round. It suits a group in different places better than a shared screen does.
Goals such as 1,500 m or 3,000 m give a weak run a second purpose. They run daily and reset rather than accumulating forever.
Limited-time goals appear for a stretch and then close. They add a reason to play during a specific week without changing the scoring underneath.
03
Four moves, as deep as the prompts allow.
The shared set of prompts appears. Everyone playing that day meets the same categories in the same order.
Type one answer that genuinely fits, and send it. A reply outside the category is refused and costs only the time spent.
The bunny digs by the metres your answer earned, and the strata mark how far down the run has gone.
The set ends at a final depth. Take the quests if they are still open, or start an Unlimited run to keep going.
04
Three habits from regular players.
One laptop on the kitchen table and six people shouting volcano names. The tunnel drawing is what makes it work, because everyone can see who sank the run.
I try the strange answer in Unlimited first. If it digs well there, it goes into the daily dive the next time that category appears.
The quest gives a bad day a floor. Even when the prompts do not suit me, reaching the depth goal still counts for something.
05
Answers, party modes and what the quests count.
Name the thing nobody else in the room will name, and let the burrow keep going. Today's dive is already open.
