How to complete the Anti-Claus challenge in BitLife

11 hours ago 3

Winter festivities are approaching quickly, and BitLife is here to turn it upside down with the Anti-Claus challenge. This week, we’re turning into the Grinch with an unhappy character and our trusty cat, Rudolph. While the challenge isn’t too tricky, you’ll still need some strategy to finish its later objectives.

BitLife Anti-Claus challenge guide

BitLife’s Anti-Claus challenge has five tasks to complete:

Be born a male in Norway
Have less than 50 percent Happiness
Have 13+ children
Rob 5+ houses
Have a cat named Rudolph

Although you won’t need any expansions or job packs for this challenge, having access to the crime special talent through the Mafia career pack will help make house robbery slightly easier. Nonetheless, you can quickly complete this by mastering BitLife’s home burglary minigame, so this isn’t required for the challenge.

Be born a male in Norway

Your first task of BitLife’s Anti-Claus challenge is to be born a male in Norway. This one is the easiest of the five, as it only requires you to begin with male as your starting gender and Norway as your country. The place doesn’t matter as long as you meet these two requirements.

As you age up, make sure you watch your happiness meter. While your character can be happy at first, you’ll need to reduce your happiness by the end of the challenge. Although you don’t have to worry about this yet, it’s worth considering for later.

Have less than 50 percent Happiness

Much like real life, there are plenty of ways to become unhappy, from minor inconveniences to tragic events. While your character’s happiness will fluctuate over time, the easiest way to reduce this stat is to talk to friends, family, or classmates with whom you have low relationship stats.

They’ll either tell your character to shut up or refuse to speak to you, reducing your happiness each time. You can continue this indefinitely, lowering your stats until they reach less than 50 percent.

Alternatively, if your character is in a romantic relationship, you can break up with your partner to lower your happiness. You can also wait for more extreme events like a friend or family death, or for your character to catch a disease.

Lastly, you can get caught while committing a crime such as home robbery. While this isn’t ideal since it leads to your character going to jail, it’ll instantly drop your happiness to zero, making it a solid option if you complete the other four objectives and need one more option.

Have 13 or more children

Next on your list is having at least 13 children. You have two options for this: date people and have children with them or engage in unprotected hookups. The latter can lead to catching various STDs, making it a risky but quicker method, while the former relies on you slowly raising the number.

You’ll also need to be careful of childcare costs. You’ll have to pay for it all, and it’s very easy to go into debt the more children you have. Make sure to pick up a job or make a lot of money through house robberies, as the costs rise quickly until each kid turns 18 and moves out.

Rob 5 or more houses

Next up in the Anti-Claus challenge is some crime. To start robbing some houses, head into Activities, Crime, and Burglary. You’ll begin a minigame where you control your character around a house, collecting items while navigating a maze-like area, before leaving via the exit sign. You also need to avoid the homeowner and dogs that may appear. The difficulty and rewards from each attempt are random.

If you’re in a house too long, there’s a chance the cops will appear and search for you. This can also happen immediately upon you entering the house if you try to burgle several houses in one year. Be careful while doing this, and don’t be afraid to spread each attempt over a few years.

Have a cat named Rudolph

Your final task of BitLife’s Anti-Claus challenge is to adopt a cat named Rudolph. To do this, head into Activities, Pets, and either the Cat Breeder, Animal Shelter, or Pet Store. Adopt any cat before changing its name to Rudolph to wrap up the challenge and obtain a mystery prize.
