A life you did not choose. A world you can discover. Be born somewhere among 172 countries, and live an entire life, one year at a time.

## Every life begins with chance

### A place in the world

Birthplace, family, income and health are shaped by national statistics and chance.

### Small choices, changing years

Learn, work, build relationships and decide what matters. Your choices influence the odds without guaranteeing an outcome.

### A life worth remembering

Keep a record of the life you lived. Save your certificate, story and album for free.

Lives may include illness, loss, poverty and death. Take a break whenever you need one. This is a simulation, not a prediction.
