What does my future hold?
Fortune teller
Your birth month and 3 cards. Out comes a city, a job, a friend and a twist.
Tap your birth month, then pick 3 cards.
Example reading for Maya
- Where you live
- Miami, United States
A flat near the park, where you walk every morning.
- Your job
- Robotics engineer
You build a robot that makes perfect pancakes.
- A new friend
- A gardener who gives away too many tomatoes
You meet at the community garden. You leave with a bag of them.
- The twist
You get stuck in an elevator with someone who becomes your business partner.
A game for fun. The same name, month and cards always give the same reading, and none of it predicts anything.
How the fortune teller works
Type your name if you like, tap your birth month, and pick 3 of the 9 cards. Your reading shows the city you live in, your job, a new friend and a twist. The same name, month and cards always give the same reading, so you can share it. It is a game for fun, and it predicts nothing.
Your name, your birth month and your cards, in the order you picked them, make one number. That number picks a city, a home, a job, a friend and a twist from our lists. Capitals and accents in the name do not count, so Zoë and zoe get the same reading.
The lists hold 36 real cities, 12 homes, 32 jobs, 24 friends and 24 twists. That makes over 7 million different futures, and every one of them is good news.
The cities in the readings
Every reading sends you to a real city. These are all of them:
A fortune teller for fun
People have tried to read the future for thousands of years, with cards, stars and paper folds. None of it has ever been shown to work, and this page does not pretend to. It is a game, like a paper fortune teller at school or the MASH game: a quick laugh, and something to compare with your friends.
Want to try the future for real? In LifeSim you can start a life in the city of your reading, with its job, and live it day by day on a 3D map of Earth. The people around you have their own jobs and homes, and they remember you.
Questions
Is this fortune teller real?
No. It is a game. Your name, your birth month and your cards pick a reading from our lists, the same way every time. Nothing about your real future goes into it, and nothing comes out of it.
Why do I get the same fortune again?
Because the reading comes from your inputs, not from chance. The same name, month and cards in the same order give the same reading on every phone. Pick other cards for another one.
Does the order of the cards matter?
Yes. The same 3 cards picked in another order give another reading.
Are the cities real?
Yes. Every city in a reading is a real city, from Lisbon to Seoul to Buenos Aires. The jobs are real jobs. The friends and the twists are made up, and they are always good news.
What is in the share link?
Your name, if you typed one, your birth month and your 3 cards. Anyone who opens the link sees the same reading.
Can I live this future?
In LifeSim, yes. Press Live this future and LifeSim opens with the city and the job of your reading. LifeSim is a free life simulator in the browser: you live a life day by day on a 3D map of Earth.
Is the fortune teller free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit on readings.
