BitLife’s Turn Back Time challenge is about being a successful pop singer who revisits her past, rekindles an old flame, and supports her friends along the way. Be prepared to practice your vocal skills while making a lot of friends and having some romantic encounters here and there. Here’s how to complete the Turn Back Time challenge in BitLife.
BitLife Turn Back Time Challenge guide
BitLife’s Turn Back Time challenge has five objectives to complete:
- Be born a female in California
- Become a pop singer
- Have 2+ pop albums go platinum or higher
- Marry an ex-boyfriend
- Have a best friend who identifies as gay
Finishing this challenge requires owning the Musician special career pack. In other words, you must spend real money to complete it, as buying it through BitLife’s official in-game marketplace is the only way to unlock it. You can buy it individually or purchase Boss Mode to unlock every current and future job pack that releases.
Be born a female in California
To start BitLife’s Turn Back Time challenge, you’ll need to create a character whose starting country is the United States and whose starting place is any California city, such as Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. The exact location you pick doesn’t matter as long as it’s within California.
While not required for the challenge, starting with the music special talent will give you a significant advantage in improving your singing skills later. This talent provides overall buffs to how quickly you develop music-related skills, making it a helpful trait.
Make as many friends as possible throughout your character’s childhood, and maintain these relationships during her teenage and adult years. This will be important later, as we’ll get to in future sections.
Become a pop singer
After making your character, age her until she turns eight to unlock vocal lessons. You’ll find them under Activities, Mind and Body, and Voice Lessons. Continue taking these every year until you max out the skill to improve your odds of becoming a pop singer later.
If your character’s parents say no to the lessons, you have two options: wait until adulthood or recreate your character. Admittedly, I usually make a new save at this point, but it’s entirely up to you which option you pick.
Once your character turns 18, head into Occupation, Special Careers, and Musician. Sign up to become a solo artist and choose singer as your career type. Audition for each record label until one is impressed to find a contract asking if you want to become a professional singer. You’ll find the genre on this contract; your goal is to find a pop singer contract. If you don’t see one, deny it and keep going until one of the companies offers one.
Have pop albums go platinum or higher
Now that you have found a pop singer contract, it’s time to make some albums. Head into your occupation tab again and into the pop singer category to find options for creating an album, going on a world tour, and more. Your goal is to make one album every year until one goes platinum. This is primarily luck-based, so just keep at it until you get there.
Marry an ex-boyfriend
This next task is arguably one of the easiest in the bunch, as you can finish this in one year. To marry an ex-boyfriend, go into Activities, Love, and Date to find someone to pursue romantically. After asking them out and dating, break up with them immediately. They’ll appear in a newly-formed exes category for you to select later.
From here, you can start raising your relationship stats with them again by giving gifts, complimenting, and initiating conversations. My go-to strategy for doing this is to give them Bitizenship as a gift to boost their stats significantly before rekindling the relationship. If your attempt is successful, you’ll start dating them again and can propose using an expensive enough wedding ring. Now, you just have to hold the wedding ceremony and tie the knot to finish the task.
Have a best friend who identifies as gay
By now, your character should have numerous friends if you maintained your friendships throughout her life. Select each of your friends and look for one who identifies as gay. You can do this by picking ask out and checking their sexuality. If it says gay, raise your friendship and ask them to become your best friend.
If you don’t have any friends who are gay, you can pursue other careers and befriend coworkers. From here, repeat the process of raising your friendship and asking to become best friends to finish the Turn Back Time challenge in BitLife.
