BitLife Guide: What I Learned After Playing Hundreds of Years

The first time I played BitLife I had no idea what I was doing. I clicked through events quickly made choices and expected everything to work out. It did not. My BitLife character dropped out of school struggled financially and ended up with a different life than I had planned.

After spending time with  this life simulator I realized that this game is not really about luck. Most outcomes are influenced by the choices you make over time. Small decisions during childhood can affect education, relationships, careers and how long your playthrough character lives.

If you are new to BitLife or simply want results this guide will help you understand the simulation in a practical way.

Why BitLife Feels Different From Other Mobile Games

Most mobile games focus on action, competition or completing levels. BitLife takes an approach.

Of controlling a BitLife character directly you guide their life through decisions. Every year presents situations. Sometimes they are simple like choosing an activity after school. Times they involve major life decisions such as education, marriage or career changes.

What keeps BitLife interesting is that there is no correct path. A successful doctor, an actor and a struggling musician can all have completely different stories in this game.
