You're playing a day from the archive. This round won't count toward your streak.
Every day you get 7 questions about video games, and every answer is a number: a release year, a sales figure, a Metacritic score, the year a studio was founded. You have 25 seconds for each one.
Each question is worth up to 100 points. The closer your guess, the more points you get and the higher your rocket climbs. The most you can score in a day is 700.
| Rank | Big numbers | Year questions |
|---|
For big numbers, we measure how many times off you are, not the raw difference: guessing 1.8 million for 2 million scores the same as guessing 180 for 200. For year questions, older events get a wider margin. Small-scale questions like Metacritic scores have their own margins. If time runs out, you get 0 points.
Your total score sets how high you fly on a logarithmic map of space: about 135 points reaches the Kármán line, 376 the Moon, 550 the Sun's distance, and 700 Voyager 1.
Most answers come from Wikidata, an open knowledge base anyone can use. Some are added by hand from official announcements. Every answer shows its source.
Every day at midnight, your local time. Everyone gets the same 7 questions on the same day.
Sales figures change over time. The question says which date the figure is from, and the answer matches that date.
Your progress and statistics are stored in this browser. If you clear your browser data or play on another device, they won't be there.
When you finish your daily flight, your guesses are sent to the server and your score is calculated again there. The percentile compares you with everyone else who played that day. Only your first flight of each day counts; archive and unlimited rounds aren't ranked.
No. Your streak only grows when you finish a day's flight on that same day.
Random 7-question rounds drawn from questions outside today's set. Play as many as you want; results aren't saved.
Write things like "15 million", "2.5 billion", "384,400" or "15m". Big-number questions also have "× million" buttons. The line under the box shows how your number reads.
Orbitallion is a daily number-guessing game about video games. Seven questions a day, 25 seconds each. The closer your guess, the higher your rocket flies.
The name blends "orbital" and "million": big numbers and space.
Orbitallion doesn't ask for an account. Your progress, statistics and sound setting are kept in your browser's local storage. When you finish a daily flight, only these are sent to the server for the leaderboard: a randomly generated player ID, your leaderboard name ("Pilot-XXXX" if you don't pick one), that day's guesses and your score.
