Voight-Kampff: take the Blade Runner test in your browser

You sit across the desk in a dim interrogation room. A machine watches your eye. Seven questions, and somebody on the other side of the table decides whether you are human or a replicant.

What is the Voight-Kampff test?

In Blade Runner (1982), based on Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the Voight-Kampff test is used to tell humans from replicants. It is not a lie detector. The examiner asks emotionally provocative questions and the machine measures involuntary responses: pupil dilation, blush, pulse and how long you take to answer. Empathy is what it looks for.

How this game works

• Baseline first. The machine records your resting readings before any question.
• Seven questions. Each one is a short scenario with four possible answers and a time limit. Answer with the keys 1–4 or by clicking.
• Raw data, no verdict. The screens show only deviations from your baseline. The machine never decides.
• Unreliable instruments. Calibration drifts and anomalies happen, as they would with real hardware.
• The examiner decides. At the end you receive a stamped report: human, replicant, or undetermined.

Atmosphere

A fluorescent tube flickers, a ceiling fan turns slowly, the observation glass is dark, and sometimes someone walks past the door. The game is built for headphones; subtitles are always on, and there is a reduced-motion setting.
