Which city were you made for?

Each answer tells us something about how you live and who you are, from where you grew up to how late you'd stay out. The questions adapt as you go. We compare your answers with what we've scored for each city, like how close the sea is, how late people eat, whether you need a car and what it costs to live there. We also compare them with how Timeleft members in each city answered some of the same questions when they joined. The closest fit wins. The three things you'd never give up count the most, and a city that's short on one of them loses ground.

The sunshine and warmth scores follow each city's published climate averages, for 1991 to 2020 wherever those exist. For food, we count the places to eat that Overture Maps lists within about 2 km of the city center and compare the total with other cities on the same continent. The rest, like how walkable a city is or how much live music it has, are our own calls, scored on one scale across every city in the quiz, so a high score for walking means the same thing in every country. The member figures come from what Timeleft members in each city told us when they joined.

How close that city comes to the best any city in the quiz offers on each thing you told us. 100% would mean the best in the world on every answer. The city you live in is measured the same way, so you can see where the two differ.

It can find the city that fits how you like to live. It doesn't know your job, your visa or who you'd miss, and those usually decide where people end up, so treat your result as the first name on a shortlist.

No. Most people don't. The result shows what your own city does well, what it's short on, and the next Timeleft dinner there.

Yes. We ask where you live first, then score that city on the same answers, side by side with your result. If we're not in your city yet, pick the nearest one we are in.

Only if you ask us to email it. The result is worked out in your browser, and a share link carries your answers so a friend sees the same city. We count which cities come up, never who got them. If you ask for the email, we keep your name and email to send it. The email links back to your result, so that link carries your answers too.

As often as you like. Change one answer and the questions after it can change too, so you might land somewhere else.
