1 in 8 Billion · 1in8b.life

For streamers and creators

1 in 8 Billion is a life simulation. You are born as one of the babies arriving on Earth right now, drawn by the real birth statistics of 172 countries and territories, and you live that one life to its end. A whole life takes about 30 minutes, an hour (the default) or an hour and a half, as you choose, and you can pause or speed up to 16× along the way. It is free, with no sign-up and nothing to download: open 1in8b.life and press Be born.

You may stream it and make videos

You are free to stream 1 in 8 Billion or make videos of the lives you live here, without asking first, including on monetized channels and in TV or radio programs. That covers live streams, uploaded videos and replays, and thumbnails made from the lives you live.

Two things we would appreciate, both optional:

a link to 1in8b.life, in the description, on screen or in chat;
calling it “a life simulation”.

What stays ours is the site itself: its code, text and pictures may not be copied as they are, or changed and then put up or sold elsewhere, without permission (Terms, section 2). Streams and videos of your own lives are always fine.

Before you go live

It is made for ages 15 and up. Lives follow real statistics, so heavy things can come without warning, as they do in life: death, illness, war, poverty, violence at home and suicide among them. None of it is shown in detail, and where it matters the screen says where to find help.
