Frequently Asked Questions

Can I re-do the quiz?

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. Every choice you make can unlock a different possible life — from chimney sweep to midwife, clerk to heiress. Try as many combinations as you like and see who you might have been.

Where do the images and stories come from?

All images and text on Time Mirror are generated using advanced AI tools. We’ve designed each element to feel immersive, historically informed, and full of personality — but remember, these are imaginative interpretations, not historical fact.

Can I turn my results into a story or book?

Yes! We’re currently developing a feature where you can purchase a short, original AI-generated story based on your quiz result — tailored just for you.

You’ll be able to:

  • Read about your character’s daily life in the 1800s

  • Choose to follow a realistic or “hopeful” life path

  • Download your story as a digital keepsake or gift

This feature is in testing now. If you’re interested, check back soon or join our mailing list for early access!

Can I use my character in a novel, game, or TV series I’m creating?

If you purchase the Creative Rights Story Licence, yes! That gives you the freedom to use your character, plotline, and likeness commercially in your own creative works.

Is this based on real history?

Yes and no. The quiz and character outcomes are inspired by social history in 1800s England, Australia, and the U.S. — but we’ve blended fact and fiction to create something imaginative, educational, and fun. Think of it like stepping into a historical novel, not a textbook.

Is Time Mirror free to use?

Yes! The basic quiz is entirely free. We offer optional paid story features and portraits, but the quiz and your character outcome are free to explore and enjoy.
