How to complete the Alphabet Mafia challenge in BitLife

It’s time to take part in BitLife’s Alphabet Mafia challenge! This week is a doozy, and you’ll need to join the Mafia and rise the ranks until you become the family’s leader. Here’s how to complete this weekly challenge, including some tips for finishing it easier.

BitLife Alphabet Mafia challenge walkthrough

BitLife’s Alphabet Mafia challenge has five tasks to complete:

• Be born in Italy
• Come out as a member of the LGBTQ community
• Join a Mafia family
• Extort money from a CEO
• Become the leader of a Mafia family

Completing this challenge requires purchasing the Mafia special career pack. Without this, you won’t be able to join any crime syndicates, preventing you from finishing the last three tasks. You can buy it separately through the BitLife Marketplace or get Boss Mode and unlock every current and future pack.

Be born in Italy

The first task of this challenge requires you to be born in Italy. It doesn’t matter what your starting gender or city is, as long as you pick Italy as your country. However, having the criminal special talent will help you later.

Once you create your character, commit various crimes as soon as possible. You can start with pickpocketing, burglary, and porch pirating, with more severe crimes like train robbery and grand theft auto opening up later. Committing these deeds will help you join the Mafia later without having too many setbacks.

Come out as a member of the LGBTQ community

Your next task is to come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. How you do this is entirely up to personal preference, but BitLife offers two main ways to do this:

• Head into Activities > Identity > Gender and change your gender identity.
• Head into Activities > Identity > Sexuality and come out as bisexual or gay.

Once you change your sexual or gender identity, you’ll knock out the next task. Two objectives down, three to go.

Join a Mafia family

Your next goal is to join a Mafia family. By the time you turn 18, you should have committed enough crimes to get in easily. You can join by going to Occupation > Special Careers > Mafia. In this case, the infamous Sicilian Mafia will be your only option, so you’ll need to bring your A-game for this one.

Once you’re ready to join the Mafia, you’ll need to perform actions that catch their attention. Doing things like providing alibis and waiting tables are your best bet, but avoid asking them outright. If they accept you, you’ll find a popup telling you you successfully joined a family family as an associate. It’s time to climb the ranks.

Extort money from a CEO

Now that you’re part of a mafia family, you’ll unlock some new crime activities. Most notably, you’ll find extort, which allows you to extort local business owners for money. Most will just appear as “owners”, but occasionally, you’ll find some CEOs. You may have to age up a few times until you find one.

Generally speaking, extorting a low amount has a high chance of succeeding on your first try. Trying to go for the max amount either results in them outright refusing or offering to give a lower amount. To quickly knock out this task, demand a small amount of money from each business owner until one of them is a CEO.

This particular task is challenging, since multiple variables can cause you to receive no credit for it:

• Whacking the CEO out instead
• Finding a “business owner” or employee
• Demanding too much or too little cash
• Only getting part of the amount you demanded

In some cases, even if none of these are issues, you may not get the credit regardless. I was able to check this off by asking for a relatively low sum — around $1,000, but you can go up to $10,000 — and target small businesses. If they say no, don’t kill them; shake them down them instead. Doing this will usually get the job done, knocking out the objective. In the worst-case scenario, you may have to create a new character for this task before swapping back over.

Become the leader of a Mafia family

This last task is the most difficult part of the Alphabet Mafia challenge. Over time, you’ll have to extort and whack out business owners, commit as many crimes as possible, and avoid getting into trouble with your other Mafia family members. You’ll also want to point out rats or informants whenever possible.

Below is every Mafia rank you’ll have to get through:

• Associate
• Soldier
• Caporegime
• Underboss
• Godfather/Godmother

Over time, you’ll climb the Mafia ranks, with Godfather/Godmother being the last to achieve. When it comes to BitLife’s Mafia families, work hard every year, commit as many crimes as possible, and stay on everyone’s good side to climb the ranks within a few years.
