In BitLife, achieving all the ribbons is one of the most satisfying endgame goals you can pursue. Some ribbons are easy to get, like Lazy or Rich, while others, such as Model Bitizen or Bandit, are obscure and surprisingly difficult to earn. Ribbons are a badge of honor or mediocrity, depending on how you play.
But collecting every ribbon isn’t easy. Many of them have ambiguous requirements or overlap with others, making it easy to accidentally get the wrong one if you’re not careful. So, here’s a complete guide on how you can get every Ribbon in BitLife.
How To Get Ribbons In BitLife
To get ribbons in BitLife, all you need to do is complete a character’s life. Once your character passes away, you’ll receive a tombstone summarizing their life’s journey.
A ribbon will appear on the corner of this tombstone, signifying the type of life they lived based on major decisions and achievements throughout the run.
What Are Ribbons In BitLife
Ribbons are post-life achievements in BitLife that encapsulate the primary theme or lifestyle of your character. These range from good deeds and riches to crime and laziness.
BitLife assigns a ribbon based on a hidden algorithm that weighs your choices and milestones, prioritizing certain actions over others. For example, becoming rich could override becoming generous.

How To Get Every Ribbon In BitLife
Below is a complete breakdown of how to earn every ribbon, along with the key strategies and mistakes to avoid. This list includes both regular and secret ribbons, but the order has been rearranged to help differentiate it from other sources.
How To Get Wicked Ribbon
To get the Wicked ribbon, you’ll need to contract an STD and spread it around without ever getting it cured. Avoid accumulating too many hook-ups.
Doing so can shift you toward the Lustful ribbon instead. Once infected, continue seeing new partners and end your life while the disease is still active.
How To Get Barbie Girl Ribbon
Undergo multiple plastic surgeries as a female character. Procedures like nose jobs, facelifts, and breast augmentations all count, but avoid gender reassignment. If you earn too much money or gain fame, you’ll risk getting Rich or Famous instead.
How To Get Hero Ribbon
This is a luck-based ribbon. Random events prompt if you want to help someone in distress, like saving a drowning person or calling 911. Say yes and hope for success.
Alternatively, you can join the military and die during deployment, though this might grant you a Veteran instead.
How To Get Mooch Ribbon
Ask family members for money at least 10 to 20 times over your life. Stay unemployed and don’t earn any money on your own. Use the Relationship menu to make your requests. The earlier you start, the better your odds.
How To Get Lazy Ribbon
Probably the easiest ribbon to get. Simply age up without doing anything. Don’t go to school, don’t get a job, and don’t interact with anyone. Just keep hitting Age Up until you die.
How To Get Scandalous Ribbon
Get into fights, go clubbing, and land yourself in jail once or twice without escaping. This lifestyle screams chaos, but don’t overdo it. Too much crime or escaping will land you the Thief, Jailbird, or Houdini ribbons instead.
How To Get Academic Ribbon
Maximize your Smarts stat, finish high school, attend university, and then complete a postgraduate program like Law School, Medical School, or Graduate School. Don’t make too much money or get famous, or else you’ll be steered away from the Academic path.
How To Get Influencer Ribbon
You’ll need to have over 10 million followers on all in-game social media platforms. Becoming famous helps speed things up.
If you’re struggling, post often and consistently on each platform, especially Twitter, which tends to be the most stubborn.
How To Get Deadly Ribbon
Eliminate at least five characters in one life. You can use weapons, hire a hitman, or utilize items like the Assassin’s Blade. Jail time doesn’t matter as long as you kill enough people before you die.
How To Get Rich Ribbon
Have a net worth of over $2.5 million but below $20 million. Anything higher will result in the Loaded ribbon instead. Avoid fame and criminal activities to secure this one.
How To Get Globetrotter Ribbon
Visit at least 20 to 30 countries via Vacations or Cruises. Earn enough to afford travel but not so much that you accidentally trigger the Rich or Loaded ribbons. Don’t become famous either, as that can override it.
How To Get Famous Ribbon
Become a celebrity through acting, music, writing, social media, or other public professions. Fame will usually override most other ribbon types. Keep your Fame bar high and avoid criminal activity.
How To Get Addict Ribbon
You need at least two active addictions at the time of death. This includes alcohol, drugs, or gambling. Getting addicted is random, but attending clubs and hanging out with risky friends increases your chances.
How To Get Loaded Ribbon
Earn a net worth of over $20 million by any means except through fame. Starting as a rich heir or climbing the ranks of a high-paying job like Brain Surgeon works best. Avoid becoming too recognizable or else you’ll get the Famous ribbon.
How To Get Cat Lady Ribbon
Have at least 30 cats in your lifetime. Without Bitizenship, this means cycling through adoptions since you’re limited to 3 pets at a time. Focus on adopting senior cats who’ll pass away sooner so you can adopt new ones.
How To Get Successful Ribbon
Live a quiet, stable life with a decent-paying job. Don’t accumulate too much wealth, avoid crime, and refrain from fame. Be a productive, modest citizen who doesn’t rock the boat.
How To Get Family Guy Ribbon
Be born male, marry once, and have two to three kids. Focus on your relationships, spend time with your family, and don’t pursue wealth or fame. High relationship stats are key here.
How To Get Stupid Ribbon
Keep your Smarts below 10% throughout your life. Drop out of school early, refuse to read books, and don’t take any actions that improve intelligence. Avoid successful careers and relationships with smart people.
How To Get Monopoly Ribbon
Buy and sell over 10 properties. Real estate flipping is essential, but keep your net worth under $20 million to avoid getting Loaded instead.
How To Get Veteran Ribbon
Join the military and go on multiple successful deployments. Be sure to pass all minigames and avoid dying unless you’re doing it intentionally for Hero. Survive your service, then retire in peace.
How To Get Movie Buff Ribbon
Watch over 20 movies at the theater. Non-Bitizens will need to sit through ads, so this one can be a bit tedious. Just commit to one movie per year for most of your life.
How To Get Tarzan Ribbon
Buy at least 20 exotic animals from the Exotic Pet Dealer. Bitizenship is required for this. Don’t engage in any crime or make too much money, otherwise, other ribbons may override this one.
How To Get Wasteful Ribbon
This is the fastest ribbon to get. As soon as your character is born, scroll down to Surrender in the Activities menu and quit. You’ll get Wasteful automatically.
How To Get Highroller Ribbon
Make over $1 million from gambling. Use the Casino or Horse Betting, but stop before you hit $10 million to avoid the Rich ribbon. Keep your wealth between $1 million and $10 million for safety.
How To Get Houdini Ribbon
Escape from prison more than 10 times. Avoid staying locked up for long periods and don’t mix it with other ribbon behaviors like Addict or Hero.
How To Get Cunning Ribbon
Commit a crime, go to jail, then escape. After escaping, undergo gender reassignment surgery to seal the deal. Avoid getting caught again, or you’ll end up with Jailbird instead.
How To Get Rowdy Ribbon
Go clubbing frequently, host parties, and drink occasionally. Avoid jail or you might get the Scandalous or Addict ribbons instead.
How To Get Lustful Ribbon
Sleep with at least 20 partners without catching STDs. Use protection often and don’t raise too many kids, or else you’ll be at risk for the Fertile ribbon.
How To Get Jailbird Ribbon
Get caught committing crimes, serve time, and escape once or twice. Don’t escape too many times or it’ll become Houdini. Stay long enough in prison to avoid Cunning.
How To Get Unlucky Ribbon
This one is entirely up to RNG. Get a disease early and die before reaching adulthood. There’s no real way to force this. Just reroll lives until it happens.
How To Get Fertile Ribbon
Have lots of children. At least four or more is ideal. Avoid fame, wealth, or promiscuity that could push you into Lustful or Rich territory. Grandchildren also count, so longevity helps.
How To Get Mediocre Ribbon
Live a normal life. Get a job, don’t earn too much, and avoid making any significant decisions. You’re aiming to be forgettable.
How To Get Every Secret Ribbon In BitLife
Secret ribbons in BitLife are hidden until you unlock them. These are often more challenging due to their hidden nature and stricter requirements. But they’re also among the most rewarding to earn. These include:
How To Get Model Bitizen Secret Ribbon
Live the kindest, cleanest life possible. Compliment people, avoid crime or negative interactions, and give gifts. Don’t make a lot of money or get famous. High Karma is your best friend here.
How To Get Big Boss Secret Ribbon
Become the President of a company after studying Finance, Math, or Information Systems. Work hard, and climb to the top, but do not accept the CEO role if offered via the Business pack. Finish your life with $20 million to get this ribbon.
How To Get Bandit Secret Ribbon
Head to the Crime section in the Activities tab and attempt a Train Robbery. Don’t earn more than $50 million and avoid overlapping actions like gambling or saving lives. Keep the rest of your life mundane to ensure this ribbon triggers properly.
How To Get Teammate Secret Ribbon
This secret ribbon is exclusive to those who simulate a life working for BitLife’s developer, Candywriter. Be born in Tucson or Miami, major in computer science, and take a job as an App Tester. The trick? Stay in that role for your entire life. Getting promoted too high or becoming famous can override it.
