BitLife Guilty Grandpa Challenge guide

The Guilty Grandpa Challenge in BitLife has five objectives to complete:

  • Be born a male in Texas
  • Never commit any crime before age 60
  • After age 60, fight 5+ people in prison
  • After age 70, pick 10+ pockets
  • After age 80, steal 5+ cars

To make things easier later, choose the criminal special talent when you create your character. While the challenge doesn’t require it, it’ll make everything easier later.

The first task of this challenge is to create a male character born in Texas. Doing this requires making a male character whose life begins in the United States and whose starting places are cities like Houston, Austin, or Dallas. It doesn’t matter which of these you choose, as these are all Texas cities that work for this challenge.

From here, you’ll live peacefully for over 60 years. Make sure never to commit any crimes until you reach 60, and keep your health high so that you live to 80. The fewer risks you take, the better. If you don’t commit a single crime for over 60 years, you’ll easily knock out the first two tasks.

How to fight in prison in BitLife

Once you age your character to 60, it’s time to commit crimes and land in prison. Go for a low-severity crime such as burglary or pickpocketing to prevent your character from landing a life sentence while still having time to finish the task. After arriving in prison, visit the yard and fight at least five people to complete the third objective.

Be careful while picking fights, as they’re likely to retaliate. Focus on characters who are not in gangs, as fighting gang members can lead to the rest of their group targeting you, raising your risk of severe injuries or ending the run altogether. If your health gets low, spend some time raising it before picking another fight. Repeat this until you target at least five people to finish the third objective of the Guilty Grandpa challenge.

The last two tasks involve stealing cars and picking pockets. You’ll find both of these in the crime menu under activities. Make sure you reach the 70- and 80-year milestones before attempting either to lower your risk of the police catching your character.

After reaching 70 and 80 years of age, head into the crime menu and pickpocket ten people before stealing five cars. For this challenge, you don’t have to sell the vehicles, and you don’t have to get into any fights with people after your prison adventure. Perform both activities successfully to knock out the final two tasks of the Guilty Grandpa challenge in BitLife.
