administered at 21c Museum Hotel Chicago


The Department of Eschatology is an institution dedicated to the study of the end of humanity. Its Placement Screening, which has been taken by over 200 people, evaluates participants’ feelings about and preparedness for the world to come.

After taking the survey, each participant receives an email detailing their skill level in the following areas: interpersonal skills, connection to the natural world, handiness, social reproductive labor, and fortitude. Based on these scores, the department makes recommendations for the kinds of people each participant needs to befriend.
