How it works
Fictional simulation with themes of illness, death and inequality. Educational mode: add ?edu=1.
The country draw uses annual birth weights in the bundled game dataset. Population mode instead uses population weights. Neither mode predicts your real life.
- Draw a country or choose one yourself.
- Confirm the birth card and start at age zero.
- Pause, change speed, choose an action or enable automatic decisions.
- At the end, download your life card or share the website.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes. No account or payment is needed.
Is this a forecast?
