About This Quiz

Getting a new home is exciting, but building one yourself is a dream come true! During this quiz, you'll get to spare no expense while constructing the home you've always wanted. From building materials to faucet fixtures, every choice you make will tell something about you. Most importantly, it will tell us where you're from! 

Shows like "Fixer Upper" and "House Hunters" focus on houses that are already standing. Though they might be lovely, they lack the personalization that building a home from the ground up will allow you to infuse. You're going to have to live in your newly built imaginary home for a good number of years, so make sure you choose everything you've ever wanted in a home. Once you do, we'll be able to pick up on the architectural styles that might have influenced a younger you. 

From the front walkway to the top of your attic, you get to make a home that will fill your neighbors with envy and fill you with pride. Every answer you give will point us in the direction of the first state you called home, but will we get it right? Build your dream house, and we'll do our best to figure out where you are from!
