When the elevator doors closed on year 35 of my BitLife run, an email arrived: “Mandatory team-building retreat.” You knew immediately something had gone very wrong; the office smelled of burnt coffee and nerves. I walked you through the Belko ritual so you don’t learn the hard way.
People on commuter trains balance briefcases and phones; the Belko challenge balances five dark objectives you must finish in sequence.
I’ll keep this tight: the Belko challenge has five goals. Hit them in order and you’re done.
- Be born in Colombia
- Get a corporate job
- Get promoted to an executive position
- Kill a coworker
- Kill your supervisor
How do you get the Belko Challenge in BitLife?
You start a new life in Colombia. That’s it for the trigger—choose Colombia on character creation or switch to an existing Colombian save. Names, gender, and starting city don’t matter. If you have the Crime special talent available, pick it; it’s optional but it speeds up the violent tasks later.
On a map, Colombia sits between mountains and coastlines; in BitLife it’s a single checkbox at character creation.
Choose Colombia and move on. If you already have a Colombian character in another save, switch to them and skip this step entirely.
Outside a coffee shop, people trade résumés like currency; inside BitLife you’ll build one that gets you into Corporate.
You don’t need to buy your way forward, but Candywriter gives options if you want to move faster on iOS or Android.
- Age your character until university doors open.
- Apply to a business-related degree—Economics, Accounting, or Information Systems work well.
- After graduation, apply to Business School and finish that program.
- Open Jobs and pick any listing tagged “Corporate.” Entry roles like Junior Database Administrator, Accountant, or Business Analyst get you in the door.
If you own the Golden Resume or Golden Diploma (paid boosts in the in-app store), you can skip the schooling grind and land higher corporate roles immediately. That costs money; the quick Assassin’s Blade and similar purchases are often in the $1.99 (€1.85) range, so factor that into your decision on the App Store or Google Play. You can finish everything free on mobile or Steam if you have patience.
I’ve watched interns become VPs in real offices after ten years; in BitLife it’s a numbers game of time and performance.
Once you have an entry-level corporate job, work steadily. After roughly 15 in-game years of solid performance you’ll be eligible for executive titles like Assistant Vice President. Business School is required for those promotions—don’t skip it if you’re aiming for the Belko checklist.
When the Assistant Vice President interview appears in your job list, pass it and you’ll clear the executive requirement.
In office life someone always rubs you the wrong way; in BitLife you have to be surgical about which names you choose.
The coworker and supervisor kills are separate checklist items but the mechanics are almost identical. I’ll walk you through a safe method.
How do you kill someone in BitLife?
Open Activities → Crime → Murder and pick a coworker from the contact list. Methods like drive-by or poison have higher success rates, but any attempt can go sideways: the target might call police, retaliate, or get you caught. If your attempt fails you’ll see a result screen and happiness tanking to zero.
If you get a fail, close the BitLife app before dismissing the result, then reopen and try again. That’s a common player trick on iOS, Android, or Steam. If you’d rather buy certainty, the Assassin’s Blade (an in-app item) guarantees success for a price—remember $1.99 (€1.85) is a typical small purchase in the store.
The crime menu can feel like threading a needle through a moving target; pick your moment, pick your method, and keep a backup save or plan.
When coworkers gossip by the water cooler, supervisors smell trouble first; take your time before you press the next button.
Wait a year or two after the coworker attempt to lower risk. Then repeat the same Crime → Murder flow, but select your supervisor from the list. Even if the first hit went clean, the supervisor attempt can still fail. Patience and a sensible save strategy are your friends.
Once you’re an executive and have taken out both targets, the Belko challenge completes and you get a random cosmetic to use later. I recommend testing runs on devices across App Store and Google Play, or the Steam build if you prefer desktop controls—Candywriter’s systems behave slightly differently across platforms.
If you had to choose between a fast pay-to-win shortcut or a slow, free grind, which would you pick and why?
