Drag Race simulator
Meet the queens
12 queens. Change any name, then start.
What is a Drag Race simulator?
A Drag Race simulator is a fan game where you pick the queens and watch a random season play out. Each episode has a maxi challenge, a runway and the judging, where the bottom two lip sync and one queen goes home. The last queen standing wins the crown. Type your friends' drag names, press Start the season, and send the link: it replays the season.
Unofficial and fan-made. LifeSim is not affiliated with or endorsed by RuPaul, World of Wonder or any network that shows Drag Race. The queens, the challenges and the events here are original.
How to use the simulator
- Pick 8, 10, 12 or 14 queens. The default is 12.
- Tap a name and type a new one, or press Paste a list and paste one name per line from a group chat. Random names fills every place at once. Set he, she or they for each queen, and the events use the right words.
- Press Start the season. Press Next to read each phase, or Skip to the end to see the winner at once.
- At the end, read the placements and how each queen went out. Press Share this season to send the link, or Run it again for a new season with the same queens.
How the simulation works
A season starts with the entrances. Then each episode has a maxi challenge, a runway and the judging. The simulator picks one of 10 maxi challenges for each episode, such as an acting challenge, a comedy roast, a talent show or a makeover, and it plays each one once before any comes back.
At the judging, one queen wins the week, two queens land in the bottom two and lip sync, and the queen who loses the lip sync leaves the competition. Exactly one queen goes home each episode. When 3 queens or fewer are left, the grand finale crowns the winner.
Nothing in a queen's name or pronouns changes the odds. The season comes from one random number, the seed, and the list of queens. The same seed and the same queens always give the same season, which is why a shared link replays it. The 230 events are ours, written for this page. The Elims column counts the lip syncs that a queen won against a queen who went home.
How this simulator differs from the classic ones
Fan-made Drag Race simulators, such as the one of BrantSteele, do more than this page. They have casts of past seasons, stats for each queen, pictures, and many options for the format.
This page does fewer things, for a phone first. The buttons are big, there are no ads and no sign-up, and the first season is one tap away. Each season has its own link, so a friend opens the same season without an account.
After the crown
West Hollywood is a small city in Los Angeles County with a famous drag and Pride scene. In LifeSim, a free life simulator in your browser or on iPhone, you can live there on a 3D map of the real streets. The winner link on the simulator starts that life: a performer with a weekly show, and people around you who have jobs and homes and remember you.
Questions
Can I use custom names?
Yes. Tap any name and type a new one, or press Paste a list and paste one name per line. Add (he), (she) or (they) after a name to set the pronoun. A name can have 24 characters.
How many queens can a season have?
8, 10, 12 or 14. 12 is the default.
Is it free?
Yes. There are no ads, no sign-up and no limit on the seasons you run.
Can I share a season with friends?
Yes. Press Share this season or Copy link when the winner shows. Anyone who opens the link sees the same queens and the same season, event for event. The link holds only the names, the pronouns and the number of the season.
Does one queen always go home each episode?
Yes. Each judging sends exactly one queen home, after a lip sync in the bottom two. When 3 queens or fewer are left, the grand finale crowns the winner.
Can I set stats for each queen?
No. Every queen has the same chance in every episode, so the season is a surprise. The events are ours, written for this page, with no quotes from the show.
