BitLife achievements are one-time rewards for hitting goals in a life, from going to elementary school to living to 120. The BitLife wiki’s achievement tables list 395 of them in 39 categories (our count on November 5, 2026). One free life can unlock about 20 of the easy ones if you plan it. Below: every category, what it needs, the easiest first unlock in each, and our fastest routes for the most-searched achievements.
- How many: 395 achievements in 39 categories in the wiki’s tables. The page’s own intro gives a higher figure (“410 achievements” in “45 different categories” as of May 3, 2026), so its tables seem to be missing a few. Content added after its last edit on June 17, 2026, such as the Movie Director pack from September 10, isn’t covered.
- Where to see them: Candywriter’s BitLife FAQ says you can see all your earned achievements from the game’s Main Menu. The App Store listing says BitLife “also features leaderboards and achievements” through Game Center.
- Fastest start (our route): one planned free life unlocks about 20 achievements (checklist below).
- What costs money: 117 achievements sit in the ten expansion-pack categories (only 3 of them are free) and 15 more in Vampire Mode. Generation achievements depend on Bitizenship, which Candywriter says unlocks “unlimited generations”.
- Hardest: the wiki rates 8 achievements “Extreme”, including Living Legacy (a 5,000-year generation), Zillionaire and Unicorn. It rates BitLife Legend, which means unlocking every other achievement, as “Impossible” because some achievements are bugged.

How BitLife achievements work
Candywriter’s FAQ calls achievements “miniature accomplishments” that you earn “by meeting specific criteria within a life”. Its example is Octogenarian, for reaching 80. According to the wiki, each achievement unlocks only once. Some come down to random events, like ZAP! (get struck by lightning).
- Achievements are not ribbons. Ribbons are awarded at the end of each life and sum up that character (Famous, Geriatric). Some achievements also earn one.
- Don’t delete the app. According to the FAQ, if you delete and reinstall BitLife, “your earlier data will be lost”, and that includes achievements.
- Movie Junkie is fixed. Candywriter’s October 14, 2026 patch notes say the “Movie Junkie achievement bug [was] squashed”.
- Scavenger hunt achievements are time-limited. Nine achievements in the General category, such as Spookmaster (Halloween) and Master Gobbler (Thanksgiving), require finishing a live scavenger hunt. Candywriter’s Soccer Striker Scavenger Hunt post (July 2 to July 19, 2026) said that “once July 19 hits, the hunt is over and uncollected badges are gone.” When we checked on November 5, 2026, the Live Events hub said “Nothing live right now”.
Every BitLife achievement category
All 39 categories in the wiki’s tables, with the number of achievements in each. The “easiest first unlock” column picks the lowest wiki difficulty rating in each category, skipping adult goals. Categories built around adult or drug storylines are counted here, but we don’t route them.
| Category | Achievements | What you need | Easiest first unlock |

Candywriter sells several of these careers as Job Packs. Its FAQ names “Mafia, Pro Athlete, Politician, and Actor”, and Boss Mode “unlocks all current and future Job Packs”. Vampire Mode is a separate one-time purchase, announced on October 30, 2025.
Easiest BitLife achievements: a one-life checklist (our route)
This is the fastest way to fill the screen when you’re starting out. Everything here comes from the base game. The order follows your character’s age, so you can tick off several achievements every few years. We built the route from the wiki’s requirements.
| When | Do this | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Childhood and teens | Just age up through school | School’s in Session, Something New Every Day, Fast Times at BitLife High |
| School years | Join the swim team and work up to captain | Swimming Star |
| Any age | Befriend 5 people | Bosom Buddies (1), Pal World (3), I’ll Be There For You (5) |
| Childhood | Buy a bike at the Bike Shop or ask a parent for one | Ring, Ring |
| Teens | Activities > Social Media: sign up, then post 5 updates in one year | Social Media, Social Media Sharer, Social Media Oversharer |
| Working age | Take a part-time job | Honest Living |
| Any age | Go to the movies 5 times | Moviegoer, Movie Junkie |
| 18+ | Get a license, buy any car and take a drive | Cruisin’ BitLife |
| 18+ | Take a full-time job, then switch jobs until you’ve had 10. The wiki says you don’t need to stay 20 years in each. | 9 to 5, Jack of all Trades |
| Adult | Buy a trailer and throw a party in it | Trailer Party |
| Adult (not Canadian) | Emigrate to Canada | There’s Always Canada |
| Old age | Stay healthy and keep aging up (see the longevity tips below) | Octogenarian, Nonagenarian, Centenarian, Complete a Life |
That’s 23 achievements if you reach 100, and 21 if the life ends in your 80s. Social Media Sharer asks non-Bitizens to share the app, and each movie shows an ad, according to the wiki. Fancypants (put on an accessory) is another quick one. According to the wiki, you get the accessory by completing a challenge, and our BitLife challenges list ranks the easiest ones.
Longevity achievements and the Geriatric ribbon
Players often search for a “Geriatric achievement”. Geriatric is actually a ribbon. The wiki’s Ribbons page says you need to reach age 120 or older, and that’s also when the Mega-centenarian achievement unlocks.
| Achievement | In-game goal | Wiki difficulty | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete a Life | Complete a full life | Very Easy | Free |
| Octogenarian | See your 80th birthday | Easy | Free |
| Nonagenarian | See your 90th birthday | Easy | Free |
| Centenarian | See your 100th birthday | Easy | Free |
| Super-centenarian | See your 110th birthday | Medium | Free |
| Mega-centenarian | See your 120th birthday | Moderate | Free (also earns Geriatric) |
| Strong Genes | Achieve a 500-year generation | Hard | Bitizenship |
| Long Lineage | Achieve a 1000-year generation | Very Hard | Bitizenship |
| Living Legacy | Achieve a 5000-year generation | Extreme | Bitizenship |
Fastest route to 120 (our route, built from the wiki’s tips): keep karma full. Go on the Mediterranean diet as soon as you can (the wiki also suggests South Beach). Skip drugs and alcohol, and get every illness treated at the doctor right away. Raise happiness with family time, vacations and the gym. The wiki’s Ribbons page adds that you should be at 100% happiness every time you press Age after 100, while health only needs to stay high. If you’re at 90-99%, meditate, go to the movies or compliment family members before aging up.
The three generation achievements count your whole family line, so you have to keep playing as your children. Bitizenship, which Candywriter says allows “unlimited generations”, is the practical requirement. Each generation’s long life adds years, so the 120-year habits above also speed up Strong Genes.
Wealth achievements: Millionaire to Zillionaire
The nine wealth goals, in the game’s own wording: Millionaire (“Become a millionaire”), My Second Million (net worth of $2m), Multimillionaire ($10m), Rich ($20m), Super Rich ($50m), Stinking Rich ($100m), Billionaire ($1 billion, rated Hard), Trillionaire (a bank balance of $1 trillion) and Zillionaire (“an absolutely ridiculous bank balance”). The last two are rated Extreme.
Fastest route (our route): the first seven are mostly net-worth goals. The wiki notes that rare heirlooms count toward the total even if you don’t sell them, so check the attic every day you play. For Billionaire, the wiki’s shortcut is to be born a royal in Saudi Arabia or Monaco. Trillionaire (and Zillionaire, at a quadrillion) means passing a royal fortune down through many generations, which again points to Bitizenship. For career-by-career money plans, see our guide to getting rich in BitLife.

Career, fame and school achievements
| Achievement | In-game goal | Fastest route (ours, from the wiki’s requirements) |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor | Become a doctor | Biology, psychology, nursing, physics or chemistry degree, then medical school, then Family Physician or Brain Surgeon |
| Lawyer | Become a lawyer | Political science, English, finance or psychology degree, then law school, then Junior Associate |
| Judge | Become a judge | Work 30 years as a lawyer, then apply for Magistrate |
| CEO | Become a CEO | Math, finance, marketing or economics degree and business school, then a corporate job; or get rich and start a business |
| Airline Captain | Become an airline captain | Engineering degree and a pilot’s license, then pilot, then promotions |
| Candywriter | Work for BitLife | Born in Miami, computer science degree, then mobile app developer at Candywriter |
| At Inner Peace | Work 75 years as a monk | Hired at 18 means working until 93; use the longevity habits above |
| Actor | Become an actor | Acting lessons until the bar is at least 80%, then a TV or movie role (the acting career is a Job Pack) |
| Brightest Star | Achieve maximum fame | Post on social media until you’re famous, then use the Fame tab (books, photo shoots, talk shows) |
| K-Pop | Become a Famous Korean singer | Live in South Korea, fill the voice-lessons bar, then audition solo or for a band |
| Endorser | Get paid $2m for a commercial | Get famous first, then take a commercial worth $2m |
| Naomi Who? | Become a supermodel | Get promoted to supermodel (audition answers in our BitLife model guide) |
| Brothers Forever | Get hired by a frat brother | Join a fraternity or sorority at a US or Canadian university, then apply for jobs until a fellow member hires you |
Fame-related achievements across acting, music, modeling and social media mostly come down to how fast you get famous. Our BitLife fame guide compares the fastest route for each career. The Movie Director Expansion Pack arrived on September 10, 2026, after the wiki’s last edit, so it isn’t in these tables. Our BitLife movie director guide covers how that pack works.
Military, royalty, home and vehicle achievements
| Achievement | In-game goal | Fastest route (ours, from the wiki’s requirements) |
|---|---|---|
| Career Military | Serve your full career in the military | Enlist at 18 (or 22 as an officer) and stay until the mandatory retirement age of 62 |
| General / Admiral | Reach general / admiral | Army, Marines or Air Force for General; Navy or Coast Guard for Admiral |
| Excavator | Clear 10 minefields | Deployment wins add up across lives. Candywriter’s FAQ suggests practicing “the classic game of yesteryear, Minesweeper!” |
| Monarch | Become a monarch | Be born the eldest son of a king and wait, or marry a queen |
| Reign Over Us | Reign as monarch for 100 years | As monarch, have one child within marriage and continue as that child, who is crowned automatically; then start the Mediterranean diet at 18 and live to 100 |
| Markle | Marry into the British royal family | Live in the UK and keep dating after 18 until a royal appears (chance-based) |
| Trailer Party / Mansion Party | Throw a party in a trailer / mansion | Buy the property, then throw a party there |
| House Hunter | Make $2m from flipping houses | The wiki’s tip: buy haunted houses, exorcise them and sell a few years later |
| Car Collector | Assemble a car collection worth $1m | Spend $1m on cars, preferably coupes and sports cars; the wiki says expensive cars show up once you have $1-2m |
| Extra Leg Room | Take your own 747 on a vacation | Buy a Boeing 747 (a little over $390 million per the wiki) and fly it on vacation |
| Not The Yellow One | Buy a submarine | About $2.2 billion per the wiki, so do it after Billionaire |
Expansion pack and Bitizenship achievements
About a third of the list is behind a purchase. These are the BitLife purchases the US App Store listing showed when we checked on November 5, 2026. The listing only shows the top in-app purchases, and prices vary by country.
| Purchase | US App Store price | Achievements it opens up |
|---|---|---|
| Bitizenship | $7.99 (a second Bitizenship listing shows $9.99) | Generation goals (Strong Genes, Long Lineage, Living Legacy, Antiqued), People Person, Gangsta, Horsing Around, No Probllama |
| God Mode | $9.99 | The wiki says Perfection (perfect stats) becomes “Very Easy” with God Mode |
| Boss Mode | $20.99 | All Job Packs (special careers), per Candywriter’s FAQ |
| Landlord Expansion Pack | $7.99 | The 13 Landlord achievements |
| C.U.L.T. Expansion Pack | $7.99 | The 13 Cult achievements |
| Investor Expansion Pack | $7.99 | Listed on the App Store; check the in-game store for what it adds |
If you’re only after achievements, start with Bitizenship. In the US it costs the same as one expansion pack and covers the most base-game achievements. Each pack’s easiest unlock (House Haunters, Higher Calling, Welcome to the Jungle) is listed in the category table above.
Can you get every achievement in BitLife?
In theory, that’s the BitLife Legend achievement (“Complete every other achievement”). The wiki rates it “Impossible” because some achievements are bugged. It also lists the purchases needed: Bitizenship plus the Stock Market, Landlord, Black Market, Casino, Cult, Zoo, Luxury and Racing packs, and possibly Astronaut, Model and Dealing too. Scavenger hunt achievements can only be earned while their event is live, so a player who missed one may have no way to get it. Set your goal as “every achievement I can still earn” instead.
FAQ
Where do I find my achievements in BitLife?
Candywriter’s FAQ says you can access all of your earned achievements from the game’s Main Menu. On iPhone, the App Store listing also says BitLife has Game Center achievements and leaderboards.
How do you get the Geriatric achievement in BitLife?
Geriatric is a ribbon. You earn it by living to 120 or older, the same age that unlocks the Mega-centenarian achievement. Keep happiness at 100% before every age-up after 100.
What is the hardest achievement in BitLife?
Apart from BitLife Legend, the wiki rates 8 achievements “Extreme”. They include Living Legacy (a 5,000-year generation), Trillionaire, Zillionaire, Unicorn (pure luck) and Sacrilege (play with the Holy Grail).
