A CURIOSITY WORTH FOLLOWING
What is RareDelve?
RareDelve is a trivia game about finding a less obvious correct answer. Every question is a chance to turn something you know into a little gold or a hidden gemstone.
You follow a pixel-art miner through a cave, answering seven open-ended questions. There are no multiple-choice buttons: type a country, a film, a word, or another answer that fits the prompt. Your discoveries build a score as the expedition moves along the tracks.
The appeal is that small moment after your first idea: what else do you know? A familiar answer can get you started, while a more unexpected find can earn a brighter reward.
About this edition The game above is a playable sample with a limited answer selection and illustrative scores. It is a way to explore RareDelve’s questions, scenes, and reward system.
YOUR FIRST EXPEDITION
How to play RareDelve
- Choose your route. Start with the mixed expedition or pick a subject from the Expeditions menu. Press the play button when you are ready.
- Read, then answer. After the opening countdown, you have twenty seconds for each question. Type one answer and select Submit, or press Enter.
- Collect your find. An accepted answer reveals its reward and points. If an answer is not included, you can try again before the clock runs out. Skip moves on with zero points.
- Finish all seven. Continue after each result to reach the expedition summary. Review your answers, total your finds, and copy the result to share.
KNOW YOUR FINDS
Gold, gemstones, and points

- 10points
- Gold nugget
- 15points
- Emerald
- 30points
- Ruby
- 60points
- Amethyst cluster
- 85points
- Diamond
- 100points
Gold flakes and nuggets mark the smaller finds. Emerald, ruby, amethyst, and diamond bring larger rewards. Watch the discoveries row as you play to see how those individual answers add up.

A FEW GOOD INSTINCTS
Finding less obvious answers
Read the boundary of the question
“A country in Europe” and “a European country with no coastline” are different prompts. Check the condition before hunting for an unusual answer. A confident answer that fits is a better starting point than a distant guess.
Think one step beyond the first idea
For a film question, recall another work by the same director. For an instrument, picture a different part of an orchestra. Small associations can uncover knowledge you already have without spending the whole clock searching.
Leave enough time to type
Use a clear name and check your spelling. The timer is a deadline, so give yourself a few seconds to submit. After the round, notice which answers earned which gems; replaying is a useful way to learn the sample.
BEFORE YOUR NEXT RUN
RareDelve questions & answers
Is RareDelve free to play? Do I need an account?
Play this RareDelve sample on DayLudo for free without signing in. Sound is optional, and the settings include reduced motion and an easier-to-read font.
Why was a correct answer not accepted?
Each question has a small accepted-answer list, so a valid answer may be missing. The game suggests an included answer, and you can try again while time remains. A rejection here does not always mean your trivia knowledge was wrong.
Are the points based on other players' answers?
No. The sample uses fixed points to demonstrate the rewards, not live popularity percentages. The same included answer earns the same points when you replay that question.
Will my expedition be saved if I refresh?
Refreshing starts a fresh sample run. Your score, answers, and finds are not saved between visits. Finish all seven questions to see the full result, then use the result screen to copy your discoveries.
Can I play RareDelve with a friend?
The Duel preview lets you explore the create-room and join-room screens, enter a miner name, and try the ready control. It does not connect two players. Its example room code cannot invite a friend or start an online match.
Does RareDelve have new questions every day?
This edition offers fixed sample expeditions, with no daily reset. Replaying a topic uses its questions again; the Endless option also replays a sample set. Try another topic for a different selection.
