How the quiz works
Each answer changes your estimate. Your country and sex set the starting point, using World Bank life-expectancy data. Your age shifts it, because you have already survived the years behind you. Then smoking, alcohol, exercise, sleep, weight and diabetes nudge your yearly risk of death up or down by amounts taken from large published studies.
At the end you see your estimated death date, a live countdown, your likely range and which answers helped or hurt the most. Read the full method.
Your time in numbers
Years feel abstract. That’s why the result also counts what’s left in units you can picture: weekends (52 a year), birthdays, full moons (about 12.4 a year) and sunrises. For most adults, the number of weekends left is only a few thousand — a good reason to plan the next one well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the “when will I die” quiz real?
The questions are a game, but the maths isn’t. Your answers go into the same model as our death clock: official life expectancy for your country and sex, adjusted for your age and for habits measured in large studies. No random numbers.
How many questions are there?
Nine: your birthday, sex, country, height and weight (optional), and five quick lifestyle questions. Most people finish in under a minute.
Why do you ask about sleep and alcohol?
Both have measurable effects on lifespan. Sleeping under 6 hours a night is linked to about 12% higher risk of death, and drinking more than about 7 drinks a week raises risk steadily.
Will my friends get the same result?
Only if they give exactly the same answers. Share the quiz and compare — only your estimated age is shared, never your answers.
Can a quiz really predict when I will die?
No quiz or calculator can predict one person’s death. Your result is what usually happens to people like you, and the likely range shows how widely real lives vary.
