Noillirk Scoring Guide: Points, Tiers, Ranks and Trophies
Every answer in Noillirk earns points based on how popular it is. The closer your answer is to the top of the nine-answer board, the more points you receive. Each point adds 10 metres to your balloon’s altitude, helping you climb through the Noillirk zones.
The sections below cover all seven scoring outcomes, how to calculate your climb, the altitude ladder, lifetime ranks and trophies, from a perfect 700-point climb to the Kármán Line in Endless mode.
Noillirk Scoring Tiers Explained
Noillirk has six positive scoring tiers and one Miss outcome. Your answer’s position on the nine-slot board determines which tier you receive.
| Scoring tier | Where your answer ranks | Points | Altitude gained | Share square |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sky High | #1 answer | 100 | 1,000 m | 🟥 |
| Jet Stream | #2 to #4 | 64 | 640 m | 🟧 |
| Cloud Nine | #5 to #9 | 32 | 320 m | 🟨 |
| Kite | Off the board, fairly common | 16 | 160 m | 🟦 |
| Treetop | Off the board, rare | 8 | 80 m | 🟩 |
| Grounded | Not in our answer lists | 4 | 40 m | ⬜ |
| Miss | Pass or timeout | 0 | 0 m | ⬛ |
Even an answer outside the top nine can earn points. Kite and Treetop answers are included in additional answer lists, while Grounded is awarded when an answer does not match any of the lists. Passing or letting the timer run out results in a Miss.
Noillirk Scoring Example: One Prompt, Seven Possible Results
One prompt shows how every outcome is scored.
Prompt: Name a pizza topping.
Nine-answer board: Pepperoni, Cheese, Mushroom, Sausage, Onion, Pineapple, Olives, Pepper and Ham.
| Your answer | Board result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| pepperoni | #1, Sky High | 100 |
| mushrooms | #3, Jet Stream (plural matched) | 64 |
| pineapple | #6, Cloud Nine | 32 |
| bacon | Kite list | 16 |
| artichoke | Treetop list | 8 |
| gravel | Grounded | 4 |
| No answer | Miss | 0 |
You do not need to land in the top nine to earn points. Even a less common answer can contribute to your overall altitude.
How Noillirk Points Convert into Altitude
Every point you earn adds 10 metres to your balloon’s altitude. Your points from all seven prompts are added together to calculate your final climb.
For example, consider this seven-prompt result:
Sky High, Jet Stream, Cloud Nine, Sky High, Kite, Jet Stream and Sky High.
Your total is:
100 + 64 + 32 + 100 + 16 + 64 + 100 = 476 points
That gives you an altitude of 4,760 metres, placing you in the Jet Stream zone.
Your share strip would look like this:
🟥 🟧 🟨 🟥 🟦 🟧 🟥
Three Sky High answers in one climb also unlock the Hat-Trick trophy.
What Is a Good Noillirk Score?
Your score depends on how well you predict the most popular answers. A few useful benchmarks:
- Below 200 points: You may be choosing answers that are more specific than the crowd’s usual choices.
- 300 to 450 points: A solid climb, taking you through Cloud Deck and towards the higher altitude zones.
- Above 550 points: A particularly strong result, with several high-ranking answers.
These are general gameplay benchmarks rather than official score classifications. Every prompt has a different answer board, so results can vary.
Noillirk Altitude Ladder: Points Required for Every Zone
Your total score determines which altitude zone you reach. There are 24 named zones in Noillirk, with the first 14 available during a standard seven-prompt climb.
The remaining ten zones are exclusive to Endless mode, where you can continue climbing beyond the Summit of the Sky.
| Starting altitude | Zone | Points required |
|---|---|---|
| 0 m | Forest Pond | 0 |
| 60 m | Among the Trunks | 6 |
| 200 m | The Treetops | 20 |
| 450 m | Church Spire | 45 |

Noillirk Ranks: How Lifetime Altitude Works
Your rank is based on your lifetime altitude across all game modes. Every metre you gain contributes to your overall total, including climbs in Daily, Unlimited and Endless.
As your lifetime altitude increases, you’ll unlock higher ranks. Once earned, your rank does not decrease.
| Rank | Lifetime altitude required |
|---|---|
| 🐸 Pond Hopper | 0 m |
| 🌲 Treetop Scout | 2,000 m |
| ⛰️ Hill Runner | 6,000 m |
| ☁️ Cloud Surfer | 15,000 m |
| ✈️ Jet Setter | 35,000 m |
| 🎈 Sky Captain | 70,000 m |
| 🚀 Star Pilot | 150,000 m |
| 🌌 Cosmic Legend | 400,000 m |
Your current rank and progress towards the next rank are displayed on your game start card.

How Scoring Works in Noillirk Endless Mode
Endless mode uses the same scoring tiers as a standard Noillirk climb. Sky High still earns 100 points, Jet Stream 64, Cloud Nine 32, and so on. Every point continues to add 10 metres to your altitude.
The difference is the balloon system. You start with three balloons, and passing or timing out pops one. A Sky High answer restores a balloon, up to a maximum of three. There is no fixed prompt or altitude limit, so you can keep climbing as long as you have balloons remaining.
The rules and extended altitude ladder are on the Noillirk Endless mode page.
Frequently Asked Questions About Noillirk Scoring
What is the maximum Noillirk score?
The maximum score in a standard seven-prompt climb is 700 points. You get this by answering all seven prompts with the #1 answer, earning 100 points each. This takes your balloon to 7,000 metres and the Summit of the Sky. Endless mode has no fixed maximum score or altitude.
What is a good score in Noillirk?
A score of 300 points takes you to Cloud Deck, which is a solid climb. Reaching 450 points or more puts you close to the Jet Stream zone at 4,600 metres. A score above 550 is a particularly strong result. These are general benchmarks, not official performance ratings.
Why does Jet Stream give 64 points instead of 66?
The scoring tiers follow a doubling pattern: 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 points, followed by 100 points for the single #1 answer. This gives each higher tier a noticeably greater reward, while Sky High provides an additional bonus for matching the most popular answer.
Do Kite and Treetop answers count as correct?
Yes. Kite and Treetop are accepted answers that appear outside the top nine on the board. Kite earns 16 points, while Treetop earns 8 points. Both are worth more than Grounded (4 points) and a Miss (0 points).
How do Noillirk ranks work?
Your rank is based on your accumulated lifetime altitude across all game modes. You begin as a Pond Hopper and progress through Treetop Scout, Hill Runner, Cloud Surfer, Jet Setter, Sky Captain and Star Pilot before reaching Cosmic Legend at 400,000 metres. Once unlocked, ranks never go down.
Do later prompts count more than earlier prompts?
No. Every prompt has the same scoring system, regardless of its position in the climb. A Sky High answer always earns 100 points, while a Miss always earns zero. Seven red squares on your share strip therefore represent a perfect 700-point climb.
