The Genii Survey: A Preview of Our Personality Game

For the friend who takes every personality quiz, then sends her group chat a paragraph explaining why the result is wrong.

You finish a personality quiz and get a label that could fit half your friends. So you try it on your best friend too. Same label. Apparently the internet has decided you are both mysterious, loyal and sometimes tired.

The Genii survey is our fun personality quiz in development: a browser game of specific scenes, a playful character-sheet result and eight guesses locked before you answer. This article previews the launch build, which isn't public yet. This is an introduction to the planned experience.

We make MirrorMii, the cozy game. The survey is a separate personality game made to introduce its world. An older survey is already public, but it has a different result format. The version described here is the new launch build; the two should not be mistaken for the same experience.

What will Genii ask you?

First, choose how personal the conversation can get and how Genii should talk to you. You can keep subjects out of the room. That changes the scenes you see; the scoring rules stay the same.

Then come forty cards. A card might ask about an ordinary thing you've actually done or put you inside a small situation. The point is having a choice to make, with a little context around it. An answer about cancelling a plan should mean something different from an answer about organising one.

A saintly answer beside three terrible ones tells you which response looks polite. We want choices that each have their own appeal.

You aren't asked to call yourself organised and then handed the label back. Your choices can support a pattern, or show that your approach changes with the setting. Both deserve room.

In MirrorMii 2.0, Genii is the fairy-godmother host of the island. Here, in the separate survey, she's hosting a conversation about your choices. You don't submit health records, meal photos or habit logs.

What is the final eight doing there?

Before those last eight scenes appear, the launch build locks its guesses. Your earlier answers have already formed the profile it is working from. You answer the new scenes, then see how those guesses held up. When there isn't enough support for a confident call, Genii can pass.

Locking the guesses first makes room for an actual miss. Sometimes the funny part will be how confidently the game got you wrong.

A miss gets to stay a miss.

The last eight answers do not feed back into the profile. Their job is to check the guesses, not make the earlier read look smarter. You can disagree with a result without giving the game permission to quietly change what it claimed beforehand.

This is a party game. It isn't a scientifically validated personality test. The fun is seeing which moments it understood and where it needs to leave some uncertainty.

What will the result feel like?

The launch build's reveal is designed as a short set of tap-through stories. You get a playful title and a character sheet, with a handful of core traits expressed in plain language. It uses level words and pips instead of percentage claims about who you are.

The explanation gives you something to agree with or question. It should leave space for you to behave differently around your family than you do at work.

Your style choice changes the wording, while the same answers support the same read. A sharper voice mustn't manufacture more certainty, and gentler wording isn't an easier test.

The result is for entertainment and self-discovery. It isn't a health assessment or an MBTI type. You should have enough room to answer back.

What can you share with a friend?

The planned share card carries a playful title and an invitation. Your individual answers stay off it. That means you can show the funny part without handing the group chat every personal choice that led there.

There's also a friend challenge in the launch design: someone close to you guesses how you'd answer. That online experience isn't ready for public players yet. Test links and local previews don't mean friends can reliably send a challenge, submit answers and get a shared result today.

Your partner thinks you'll pick the bold option. Your best friend remembers three times you picked the quiet one. We'd like to hear that conversation.

The invitation and return experience need to work together before this can launch. This article is being held with that build.

Where does MirrorMii fit?

MirrorMii is a cozy game, and its next version, 2.0, is not out yet. The survey introduces the idea of meeting your Miia. It is a separate game, and taking a quiz isn't required before you can play the app.

In 2.0, Miia is your digital twin: a reflection of you who lives her own life. You create her in your first session. The survey's planned app handoff doesn't create her for you or promise that a profile is already synced into the game.

In 2.0, you take a photo with Photo Hunt, wait for its fragment to be verified, and hand that fragment to Genii yourself. It enters the Bank. You choose how to use your finds for the island or items for Miia, and the World Mirror lets you preview and apply an obtained item. Her next decision is hers.

The app destination in this survey preview is still a placeholder. Both the launch survey and its handoff need to be ready before this becomes a page inviting you to play. For now, these are two related games with their own release steps.

FAQ

Can I play this launch version yet?

Not yet. This forty-card build and its character-sheet reveal are being prepared. An older public survey has a different dossier result. The descriptions here belong to the launch preview.

Do the final answers change my result?

No. The last eight scenes check guesses that were locked beforehand. Those answers do not rescore the profile. Saying a read feels right or wrong is feedback about the read; it mustn't become extra personality evidence or rewrite what the game had already guessed.

Where do my answers go?

In the current browser build, answers stay in your browser. There is no account or server-backed friend challenge available in this launch preview. The planned share card carries a title and invitation, not your answers. The public experience will need its own verified privacy explanation when it's ready.
