How to complete the Renaissance challenge in BitLife

I wonder if those paintings will become famous one day.

BitLife’s Renaissance challenge is about exploring the beauty of art and science as our characters pursue various degrees, become painters, and enjoy nature in adulthood. Although not too tricky, this one requires spending extra time in school before appreciating life to its fullest.

BitLife Renaissance challenge guide

BitLife’s Renaissance challenge has five tasks to complete:

  • Be born a male in Italy
  • Get a degree in Physics
  • Get a degree in Graphic Design
  • Become a painter
  • Go on 5+ long walks after age 18

If you want to complete this challenge quickly, you can use the Golden Diploma to instantly get both degrees before becoming a painter and going on some walks. Otherwise, you’ll just have to hope for some scholarships or save up money for your tuition fees.

Be born a male in Italy

The first part of the Renaissance challenge is creating a male character born in Italy. To do this, pick Male as your starting gender and Italy as your birth country. The exact place doesn’t matter as long as you meet these two requirements.

Although you’re not required to meet any specific stat levels for this challenge, having high smarts will help you later with obtaining two degrees. Aside from this, you’re free to customize your character how you wish. Just avoid participating in crime, as getting arrested will make becoming a painter much more difficult.

Get a degree in Physics and Graphic Design

Your next goal is to apply to university for either a physics or graphic design degree. Doing this requires graduating from secondary school at age 19 before enrolling in university, choosing one of these two degrees, and paying for your tuition. Each one is a four-year course, so expect to be in school for at least eight years unless you have a Golden Diploma.

Once you finish one degree, it’s time to move on to the next. If you don’t find either option in your program list, close and reopen your BitLife app or age up and recheck the list.

Become a painter

Next on the list is becoming a painter. Since you have a graphic design degree, you’ll start noticing openings for jobs like graphic designer, sculptor, and animator, with painter being among your possible options. Search through your full-time job list, restarting your BitLife app as necessary, until you spot a painter position. Apply for the posting and pass the interview to become a painter.

Go on long walks after age 18

The last part of the BitLife Renaissance challenge is going for long walks. To do this, head into Activities, Mind & Body, and Walk before picking the two-hour option. Your pace doesn’t matter, but I chose to go on strolls.

As you go for walks, you may encounter people committing crimes or randomly appearing animals. It’s up to you whether you intervene, but if your main purpose is to finish this challenge, you can ignore these and move on with your walk. Once you complete your fifth walk, you’ll finish the challenge and get a mystery prize.
