Abyssion strategy

The public tips page is blunt: the first name you think of is the name everyone else thinks of. The second name is a trap too, because people who dodge the first name land on the same backup.

Splits the tips page actually prints

Prompt kindWhat most people gave
KaamelottArthur, more than a third
Something orangeOrange, about a third
Hotel chainIbis, a third
Super MarioWaluigi first, then Toad and Koopa. Almost nobody said Mario.
French cheeseComté first, Brie second. Camembert was not first.

A suggested 20-second order

  1. Read the prompt and think of three or four true answers.
  2. Cross off the first and the second.
  3. Keep the last one you can still defend.
  4. If you are inside a subject you actually know, prefer the side character, the old edition, or the local brand.
  5. Send in the last three seconds only when the name is already locked.

A streak of rare-or-better answers pays up to +25%. Five of them in one round pay +10%. Seven correct prompts pay +5%.

Where the prompts cluster

On 11 Nov 2026 the public theme list counted Jeux vidéo 64, Pop culture 25, Quotidien 25, Anime 15, Cinéma 14, Internet 12, Gaming 11, Sport 11, and smaller piles for brands, music, food, series, tech, geography, and a Halloween set of 7. I would spend practice time on video games and everyday objects before I spent it on mountain prompts, which had a count of 1.

Questions people ask

Should I answer in the last three seconds?

The tips page says a submit in the last three seconds pays +10%, and a timeout pays nothing. Think early, send late, and only if the answer is already chosen.

Does a bad first round ruin the day?

No. Only the best of the three rounds counts on the daily board.
