BitLife Ribbons: All 40 and How to Get Them
Collecting BitLife ribbons means planning how each character lives, then checking the award shown after death. The game currently has 40 ribbons, four of them secret, not the 50-plus sometimes claimed online.
Quick answer: Finish a life built around one ribbon, avoid competing goals, and check Main Menu → Ribbons to see your collection.
How to get all ribbons in BitLife
Each finished life receives one ribbon based on the character’s actions and results. Completing several possible routes does not give several ribbons, so use a separate life for each target.
Start by checking which ribbons remain grey or hidden behind question marks. Write down your target before starting, then track the actions that matter: escapes, gifts, children, pets, movies, or property sales.
The tables below cover all 40 names, grouped by the main activity involved. Difficulty labels are practical estimates for planning runs, rather than official game ratings.
Some community guides disagree about exact cutoffs, and older advice may describe earlier versions. Treat an approximate number as a working target, leave a small margin where possible, and check what actually happened when a run fails.
Ribbons and achievements use different systems: ribbons summarize a finished life, while achievements track individual milestones. Use the achievement list alongside the ribbons and achievements guides when planning both collections.
Everyday, school, and family ribbons
These runs usually need ordinary jobs, school choices, or steady family care. Keep unusual activities limited so a crime, fame, or wealth award does not become the stronger result.
| Ribbon | Main route or target | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Academic | Finish university and postgraduate education. | Easy |
| Family Guy | Play a male character; maintain one marriage and close relationships with children. | Medium |
| Fertile | Build a large family; aim for around eight children if grandchildren are uncertain. | Easy |
| Generous | Give at least 30 well-received gifts across your life. | Medium |
| Geriatric | Live to age 120 or older with strong health and happiness. | Hard |
| Lazy | Reach age 50 without ever holding a job; keep Smarts above 10%. | Easy |
| Mediocre | Live an ordinary life without a strong specialist result. | Easy |
| Mooch | Ask relationships for money at least 10 times and never give any back. | Easy |
| Stupid | Finish with Smarts below 10%; an in-game overdose death also counts. | Easy |
| Successful | Reach age 65 with a net worth of at least 250,000, no prison time, and no addictions. | Easy |
| Unlucky | Die before age 30 from disease or a random tragedy. | Luck-based |
| Wasteful | Use the in-game Surrender option in a fresh life. | Very easy |
How to get Stupid ribbon in BitLife
Start with low Smarts and avoid books, library visits, and extra studying. The usual finishing target is below 10%, so inspect the stat before advancing through later years.
In the BitLife MOD APK, God Mode lets you set a new character’s Smarts low from the very first year.
Keep the run simple after establishing low Smarts. Repeated crimes, large gambling wins, or a famous career create extra ribbon candidates without helping this goal.
Separate Family Guy, Fertile, and Successful
For Family Guy, make family contact your yearly routine and keep one spouse. Two or three children give you relationships to maintain while limiting overlap with Fertile.
For Fertile, count both children and grandchildren rather than trusting the oldest four-child advice. For Successful, use a modest career and a smaller family, then avoid turning the run into a long postgraduate or extreme wealth project.
Money, careers, and famous ribbons
Money runs require more than checking your bank balance. Note how you earned the money, your final net worth, and whether your character also developed fame or a special career.
| Ribbon | Main route or target | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Famous | Build and maintain fame through a suitable career. | Medium |
| Gold Digger | Gain wealth through rich spouses and inheritance; avoid employment. | Medium |
| Highroller | Finish with $1 million or more in lifetime gambling winnings. | Hard |
| Influencer | Get verified on every social platform with around a million followers. | Hard |
| Loaded | Finish with more than $20 million in net worth. | Medium |
| Monopoly | Sell around 10 properties for profit; build substantial real estate earnings. | Medium |
| Rich | Finish with at least $2.5 million but under $20 million in net worth. | Medium |
How to get Famous ribbon in BitLife
Choose a career that can produce fame, such as acting or writing, and keep working until the fame bar appears. Continue the career and use suitable fame activities instead of abandoning the route immediately.
A social media run also introduces Influencer as a competing result, so a career-led route is easier to keep focused. Avoid assuming that one viral post, a large salary, or dating a celebrity automatically meets the ribbon conditions.
For Rich and Loaded, track net worth rather than salary alone. Property, inherited assets, and debts can change the final figure even when the cash balance looks correct.
Rich starts at $2.5 million in net worth, so leave a margin above that figure. Stop well below $20 million when aiming for Rich, because crossing that range introduces Loaded.
Keep a separate record of property profits for Monopoly and gambling results for Highroller. A large inheritance may fund either route, but it does not replace the activity that defines the ribbon.
Crime, prison, and harmful behavior ribbons
These routes overlap heavily because arrests, escapes, thefts, and violence can happen in the same life. Choose the defining action first, then limit the other activities to what the run needs.
| Ribbon | Main route or target | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Addict | Finish with at least two active addictions; avoid recovery. | Hard |
| Cunning | Escape prison, undergo gender reassignment surgery, and avoid recapture. | Hard |
| Deadly | Commit at least five successful in-game murders. | Hard |
| Houdini | Escape prison successfully at least 10 times; juvenile escapes count. | Hard |
| Jailbird | Serve two or more prison sentences, escaping or being released in between. | Medium |
| Rowdy | Visit clubs repeatedly and argue; around 10 visits is a common target. | Easy |
| Scandalous | Serve at least five years in prison instead of escaping. | Medium |
| Thief | Reach 10 theft points with at least one pickpocket, burglary, and car theft. | Medium |
| Wicked | Abandon children or pets, or spread in-game infections, at least five times. | Medium |
How to get Addict ribbon in BitLife
The key is ending the life with multiple active addictions, rather than merely visiting a casino or club. Community guidance commonly gives two addictions as the target, but developing them depends on random events.
Check the character’s condition after relevant events and avoid rehabilitation during this specific game run. Keep gambling profits below the Highroller range and limit club visits so those activities do not become stronger ribbon candidates.
How to get Deadly ribbon in BitLife
Count five successful murders, rather than five attempts. A failed attempt can lead to arrest or the character’s death, so confirm each result in the life history before recording it.
Extra thefts do not advance Deadly and may complicate the final award. If imprisonment interrupts the run, decide whether continuing the murder target is still possible rather than spending decades in jail by default.
How to get Wicked ribbon in BitLife
Wicked centers on repeated cruelty toward relationships, children, or pets. Abandonment provides a clearer route to track than relying on the inconsistent threesome advice found in older guides.
Keep a record of qualifying harmful actions and avoid a separate crime spree. Murders, many prison escapes, or extensive theft create competing routes that do not establish this ribbon’s main theme.
For the Houdini ribbon, prioritize successful escapes over years served. Jailbird only needs two or more sentences, while long stretches inside lead to Scandalous instead.
Pets, travel, hobbies, and service ribbons
These ribbons reward a repeated interest or a distinctive service record. Plan the budget and access first, because pet dealers, travel costs, and military deployment can block progress.
| Ribbon | Main route or target | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Barbie Girl | Play a female character and undergo repeated plastic surgery. | Medium |
| Cat Lady | Play a female character; own around 30 cats across life and maintain their relationships. | Medium |
| Globetrotter | Visit or move to at least 20 countries. | Medium |
| Hero | Perform a qualifying rescue or heroic service event. | Luck-based |
| Lustful ribbon | Covered in its own guide. | Easy |
| Movie Buff | Watch at least 20 movies at the theater. | Easy |
| Tarzan | Play a male character; own around 20 exotic pets and care for them. | Hard |
| Veteran | Survive at least three deployments, reach a top rank, and retire at 62. | Hard |
How to get Cat Lady ribbon in BitLife
Start a female character and make cats the main focus of the life. Aim for around 30 cats owned across the run, while keeping pets of other species below five.
Buy suitable housing and leave money available for ongoing care. Maintain strong relationships with the cats each year, and record earlier pets so you do not mistake the current household count for the lifetime total.
For Tarzan, check access to the exotic pet dealer before committing to the run; community guides identify Bitizenship as necessary for that route. Ordinary shelter animals cannot substitute for exotic pets.
Hero and Veteran should be planned separately because surviving deployments and dying heroically lead to different outcomes. Being employed as a doctor or soldier alone is not a reliable guarantee of Hero.
Keep Movie Buff simple by recording each theater visit, and vary destinations during Globetrotter runs.
All four secret BitLife ribbons
Secret ribbons appear as question marks until you earn them. They still count toward the same 40-ribbon collection, so there is no separate extra set to complete.
| Secret ribbon | Main route or target | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Bandit | Successfully rob a train when the chosen departure matches real local time. | Hard |
| Big Boss | Become CEO through the corporate career route and build around $20 million or more. | Hard |
| Model Bitizen | Maintain good behavior; repeatedly compliment, give money, and spend time with children. | Hard |
| Teammate | Start in Miami or Tucson, United States, and pursue app development at the game’s developer. | Luck-based |
For Bandit, match the train selection to the actual clock; noon means 12:00 p.m., while midnight means 12:00 a.m. Changing the device clock is not a dependable shortcut, and a failed robbery does not count.
Big Boss follows the corporate promotion ladder rather than merely owning a business. Plan university, business school, and a long career, then check both the job title and wealth near the end.
For Model Bitizen, keep an action checklist covering compliments, money gifts, and time with children. Avoid crime, cheating, abandonment, and hostile event choices throughout the life rather than trying to repair the record late.
For Teammate, inspect the employer as well as the job title. A generic technology job in another city should not be treated as equivalent to the developer route.
Practical tips for avoiding the wrong ribbon
When the result differs from your target, compare the whole life with the competing ribbon’s route. The final action is only one part of the character’s history.
- Track counted actions immediately after they succeed.
- Check net worth before accepting large inheritances or selling valuable assets.
- Keep school, family size, club visits, and crime limited unless they support the target.
- Check paid feature access before planning a pet or career route.
- Record the failed run’s ribbon and change one likely cause on the next attempt.
Use ordinary fresh lives for narrow targets and reserve inherited wealth for runs that need it. A rich starting character can make housing easier, but also adds a wealth-related result to manage.
FAQ
What is the rarest ribbon in BitLife?
BitLife does not publish how many players own each ribbon, so no one can name a single rarest one. Model Bitizen is demanding because it requires a consistently good life, while Teammate depends on a specific career opportunity. Bandit also needs careful timing. Treat those as difficult collection targets rather than claiming that one has an official rarity percentage.
What are the easiest ribbons to get in BitLife?
Wasteful is one of the quickest because a fresh character can use the in-game Surrender option. Lazy needs very little activity, although low Smarts can lead to Stupid instead. Mediocre is also simple when the character lives an ordinary life. Movie Buff offers an easy counted goal if you prefer an active run.
How to get the Wasteful ribbon in BitLife?
Start a fresh life, open Activities, and choose Surrender, then confirm the in-game decision. Doing this before building a long career, crime record, or other specialist history gives a cleaner attempt. Check the death result and your ribbon collection afterward. This instruction refers only to the fictional character inside the game.
What is the hardest achievement to get in BitLife?
Achievements are separate from ribbons, and there is no official universal difficulty ranking. Random events, purchased features, and long family histories can make different achievements difficult for different players. For ribbon collecting, Model Bitizen, Veteran, and Teammate are reasonable late targets because they require sustained choices, risky deployments, or specific job availability.
