1 in 8 Billion Life Simulation Game: Eight Billion Lives

You are 1 in 8 billion. You only live once. Here's one of 8 billion ways.

Eight Billion Lives is a free 1 in 8 billion simulation game that runs in your browser. You are 1 in 8 billion: born as one person out of roughly eight billion, in a real place and family drawn from real birth statistics, and then you live that life year by year, making a few choices that bend the odds. When it ends you get an epitaph and a record of the life.

How the 1 in 8 billion game works

• Your country, sex, family and year of birth follow the world's actual birth odds.
• Every life replays exactly from its seed, so you can share one and others live the same life.
• Every statistic is labeled as sourced, with its source, or extrapolated, with the model.
• No account. Your lives and notes stay on your device.
