A Ribbon is a decoration on a character’s gravestone, awarded based on how they lived. Many different factors affect which ribbon a character receives when they die.
Currently, there are 40 different ribbons. The “Ribbons” tab in the Main Menu has a list of all 40, though ones which have not yet been earned are shown in grey. Four of the ribbons are secret – before a player earns them, the list shows question marks instead of a name and emoji.
The original 11 ribbons were: Academic, Fertile, Hero, Lazy, Loaded, Lustful, Mediocre, Rich, Scandalous, Unlucky, and Wasteful. In April 2020, more were added including: Tarzan, Gold Digger, Monopoly, Movie Buff, Barbie Girl, Veteran, and Influencer, as well as the first two secret ribbons.
Academic[]
The "Academic" ribbon.
Complete a postgraduate education
Difficulty: Easy
It is a yellow ribbon represented with a brain emoji.
Procedures to get the Academic ribbon:

- Attend university and keep on studying harder.
- Go to Graduate School or seek other higher education such as Medical School after your character graduates (optional).
- Get a school-related job such as a teacher or a principal.
Notes: This badge is more likely to achieve if your character's intelligence is high when given birth. As of the School Update, this ribbon is now harder to achieve if you get expelled from school. As of the Mind and Body update, this ribbon is now easier to achieve when you have more books to read to increase your smarts.
The "Addict" ribbon.
Addict[]
Die with addictions
Difficulty: Extreme
It is a light pink ribbon represented with a pill emoji.
Procedures to get the Addict ribbon:
- Go to the horse racetrack and the casino often. Make sure your lifetime winnings from gambling are less than 1 million or else you will end up with the Highroller ribbon.
- Do NOT take drugs when offered, or else you might die from an overdose and get the "Stupid" ribbon.
- If you have an addiction, never go to rehab.
- You must die with at least two addictions to get this ribbon.
Notes: Becoming addicted to substances is a random chance, but getting so is important to get the badge. Avoid going to parties or clubbing too many times, or you will get the "Rowdy" ribbon instead. If you go clubbing less than 10 times in your life, you will not get "Rowdy".
Barbie Girl[]
The "Barbie Girl" ribbon.
Go under many knives
Difficulty: Easy
It is a pink ribbon represented with a doll emoji. You have to be born as a female or become a transgender female to get this ribbon.
Procedures to get the Barbie Girl ribbon:
- Choose a low-profile, yet decent-paying career to afford many plastic surgeries. Do not become an actor, singer or any career in that industry to avoid the "Academic", "Famous", "Influencer", "Rich" or "Loaded" ribbons.
- Get every plastic surgery with the obvious exception of Gender Reassignment because you need to be born and die as a female, because if you do, you'll end up triggering another ribbon as a male.
- Also you can be born as male and get Gender Reassignment surgery, then get every plastic surgery procedures as a transgender female to get this ribbon.
Notes: If your character had a botched plastic surgery, you will never get the ribbon (unless it was Botox of Face Lift); even worse, if the damage is too high which can result in death, you will also never get the ribbon.
The "Cat Lady" ribbon.
Cat Lady[]
Be a spinster, surrounded by felines
Difficulty: Varies
It is a creme ribbon represented with a kitty emoji. You have to be born as a female or transgender female to get this ribbon.
Procedures to get the Cat Lady ribbon:
- Focus on adopting as many cats as possible and only spend time with your feline friends. You must own at least 30 cats throughout your life, and less than 5 pets of any other species.
Notes: You can have a maximum of three cats at a time if you are a non-Bitizen or do not have a house.
Cunning[]
The "Cunning" ribbon.
Practice extreme Machiavellianism
Difficulty: Medium
It is a blue and pink striped ribbon represented by theater masks.
Procedures to get the Cunning ribbon:
- Commit a crime and get sent to jail.
- Escape jail by doing a hard maze puzzle.
- Get gender reassignment surgery.
- Emigrate to another country (optional). This will help you avoid getting caught, but you still need to get gender reassignment surgery to get the medal.
Notes: You may need to repeat the procedures above as you may get the "Mediocre" or "Wasteful" ribbon instead. It is also possible to get "Cunning" by committing few murders in one year and never getting caught, usually if the character dies under five years after one was committed, as it would lessen the chance of getting another ribbon.
The "Deadly" ribbon.
Deadly[]
Be responsible for the deaths of others
Difficulty: Hard
It is a purple and black striped ribbon represented with a knife emoji.
Procedures to get the Deadly ribbon:
- Murder a lot of people! The minimum is five people to get this ribbon.
- Manslaughter also counts as murder even though it technically isn't. To do it, attack someone, using a martial art move or a powerful one like Uppercut to attack their weaknesses like jaw or throat, and the character may end up dying from their injuries. This is highly unreliable, though.
- If you get sent to jail but haven't killed enough people, you can escape by doing the maze puzzle. Its difficulties may vary through time, so it is best to attempt an escape once per year.
- If murder seems too risky, you can hire hitmen to kill the number of people required to score the ribbon. Keep in mind, the hitmen must kill them and not scam you. You need bitizenship to hire hitmen.
Notes: The easiest way to commit multiple murders is to join a crime syndicate, then commit the Extortion crime. When a victim refuses to give you money, you have the option to "whack them out." This usually has a high success rate, and you can simply refresh the game if the player is caught by the police. The most effective way to commit a murder without joining a crime syndicate is performing Drive-Bys, which just requires a driving license, but it can still fail, and if it does, the character may die.
Family Guy[]
The "Family Guy" ribbon.
Be an honest, loving father
Difficulty: Varies
It is a bright orange ribbon represented with an emoji of a father with kids. You have to be born as a male or become atransgender male to get this ribbon.

- Get a job like a actor, singer, etc...
- Try to keep working harder and get promoted. Once you get a job as a lead actor, you will soon become a Movie Star!
- Keep your looks high by going to the gym and taking manicures. If your looks are lower than 80%, it is recommended to get low-cost plastic surgery like Botox to keep your looks high.
- There have since been more fame-worthy careers such as a singer, model, chef, writer, DJ, mobile app developer, politician, reporter and magician.

Difficulty: Medium
It is a green ribbon represented with a baby bottle emoji.
Procedures to get the Fertile ribbon:
- Have a lot of children through adoption, pregnancy of a partner or yourself, and possibly sperm donation. Your number of children multiplied by two plus your number of grandchildren must add up to at least 15, for example, you could achieve this through having 2 children and 11 grandchildren, or 5 children and 5 grandchildren.

Generous[]
Gfit well and often
Difficulty: Medium

- Going on a good diet like South Beach or Mediterranean will also help.
Notes: Make sure you have 100% happiness every time before pressing "age" when your character is 100 or older. If your character is at 90-99% happiness, meditate, go to the movie theater, or compliment your family members until you are at 100% again. Having and maintaining high health is also important but does not need to be 100% like happiness does.
The "Globetrotter" ribbon.
Globetrotter[]
Travel or emigrate to many countries
Difficulty: Medium
It is a white ribbon represented with an Earth emoji. This ribbon sounds like exactly what it is. You will have to emigrate, have a honeymoon at or take a vacation to at least 20 countries to earn this ribbon.

- You'll get money inheritance at least over $1.5 million through divorce or widow to earn this ribbon.
Notes: Even if you manage to propose to them and plan the wedding, having a crazy lover may backfire, as there is a high chance they will make you sign a prenup. This is especially counterproductive because if you agree to sign a prenup, you will not get the money through the divorce nor earn the ribbon.
The "Hero" ribbon.
Hero[]
Save a life or die nobly
Difficulty: Easy
It is a white ribbon represented with a superhero emoji. Another chance ribbon.
Procedures to get the Hero ribbon:
- If you attempt to save someone (By intervention, not by police or fire department), you will get you this ribbon. If you die saving someone, you will still achieve it.

- Escape at least 10 times to get this ribbon.
- Do not spend too much time in jail to avoid getting the Jailbird ribbon.
- Escaping Juvenile Prison also counts.
Notes: Although you can enlist in the military or emigrate illegally, this can still be a risky move as there is a high chance that you will end up in a maximum security prison and, unless you are familiar with the layouts, this can make it much harder to earn this ribbon and run the risk of getting the Jailbird ribbon instead.
The "Highroller" ribbon.
Highroller[]
Earn a lot of money gambling
Difficulty: Luck-based
It is a dark green ribbon represented with a dice emoji.
Procedures to get the Highroller ribbon:
- Have a high net worth early on first.
- Go gambling by heading to either the casino or the racetrack. Gambling is illegal in some countries, so if your character is born in one of those, they will have to emigrate.
- Always bet the highest amount possible and try to win over a million dollar.
- Make sure your lifetime winnings from gambling stay at 1 million or higher. If you lose more money gambling after winning a million, you may not get the ribbon. Sometimes it will get the Addict ribbon instead.

- As of October 18, 2019 the iOS glitch for saving money by closing and reopening the app while gambling has been patched, making it harder for iOS users. This has not yet been patched on Android.

Difficulty: Easy
It is a black-and-white striped ribbon represented with a police car emoji.

Having low smarts, never improving them, dropping out of school, making poor decisions when scenarios pop up, and overdosing on drugs will help obtain the ribbon. Starting your life in Bangladesh can also help, as it has the lowest dropout age. It used to be harder than it looks as a character must stay in the red zone on smarts.

Thief[]
Steal from others, frequently
Difficulty: Varies

- You must pickpocket at least one person, steal at least one car, and burgle at least one house. Additionally, your total number of thefts must add up to 10 or more, with stealing cars and burgling houses each counting as 2. So you could burgle 2 houses, steal 2 cars and pickpocket 2 people to get this ribbon.
- It doesn't matter if you get caught; however, you must escape because you will get "Scandalous" instead if you spend five years in prison. Escaping 10 times would give you "Houdini", so try to avoid going to prison too many times.
- Much of your character's net worth should be stolen money so avoid a high-paying job. Even if your character is not that rich, it is okay as long as a high fraction is stolen.
- For iOS users, also you can steal/shoplift/pickpocket/rob the following: 5 houses, 5 banks, 5 cars, 10 people, 10 porch pirates or 10 items.
Notes: If your character sells two cars, you will not get the ribbon. Following in the Generations update. Sometimes your character will get the "Bandit" ribbon instead if they only committed train robbery. This ribbon has been easier to earn since the January 2020 Crime Update for iOS users, so you must have steal at least 10 items.
Unlucky[]
The "Unlucky" ribbon.
Die young and unfortunately
Difficulty: Luck-based
It is a red ribbon represented with a thunder cloud emoji. While easy in text, the unlucky ribbon depends highly on luck.
Contracting fatal diseases, such as cancer, or succumbing to another disease at a young age or unfortunate unavoidable event and die below the age of thirty is how to get this ribbon. Many of the fatal diseases are contracted randomly when ageing up, but some can be contracted by your character's own doing, such as contracting rabies from an animal interaction or getting HIV from a one-night stand (must not have very many one-night stands to avoid Wicked). If your character is from either Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, Syria or Afghanistan, they could get the ribbon by falling victim to sudden terrorist attacks although there is a random chance that they will get a random ribbon that's not the Unlucky ribbon. Also as of now, this can be earned after your character dies due to struck by lightning and unlike diseases and terrorist attacks, fatal lightning strikes will give this ribbon even if your character is thirty or older.
Notes: There are some exceptions: Dying by trying to save a life or killing by a mine while deployed in Military will get the "Hero" ribbon instead. Getting assaulted to death will get the "Mediocre" ribbon, surrendering or getting executed will get the "Wasteful", "Jailbird" or "Scandalous" ribbon.

- You can also get this ribbon if you get a job, but you still only press the age button.
Notes: Even if you live past zero, you can still get it if you surrender and don't do anything prominent in your life. The ribbon can also be achieved by dying with negative net worth if the average of your smarts and looks is over 50%.

Procedures to get the Wicked ribbon:
- Do any of the following at least 5 times: spread STD to other people, abandon a child and/or a pet.
- Never cure any STDs and have many threesomes and/or hook-ups. Argue with partners who do not want a threesome and cheat on them.
- Do not spend too much time committing crimes as Wicked is not a crime-based ribbon, just a ribbon for rude people of bad character.
- You can also abandon all your children to get this ribbon, if sex is a bit too hard.
These ribbons will show up as question marks until they are achieved.
Model Bitizen[]
The "Model Bitizen" ribbon.

Notes: You do not need to have Bitizenship to get this ribbon. Don't try to rescue anyone to avoid getting the "Hero" ribbon. Don't have over 8 or 5 biological children with 5 grandchildren to avoid getting the Fertile ribbon. Don't make over $20 million of net worth to avoid getting the Loaded ribbon.
Additional Note: There is a random chance that, even if you do not commit any crimes, you may end up being falsely accused by police and run the risk of being wrongfully arrested. Note that even if you have a large amount of money to afford a higher-end lawyer, there is a random chance that you will still end up in jail, thus preventing you from earning the Model Bitizen ribbon altogether.
The "Teammate" ribbon.
Teammate[]
Become an app developer
Difficulty: Luck-based
It is a red, white, and blue stripe ribbon represented with a cactus emoji. To become a Teammate, the character must be from either city that Candywriter is part of and become an app developer, much like the BitLife devs.
Procedures to get the Teammate ribbon:
- Be born in Tucson, USA or Miami, USA.
- Major in Computer Science or Information Systems (The chance of the major appearing is random).
- Work as an App Developer or an App Tester for BitLife.
- If the Computer Science or Information Systems major isn't available, restart.
- Maintain the job throughout most of your life.
Bandit[]
The "Bandit" ribbon.
Live like an outlaw of old
Difficulty: Easy, but timing is key
It is a jet black ribbon represented with a train emoji. To become a Bandit, the character must commit a Train Robbery at the exact time.
Procedures to get the Bandit ribbon:
- Commit a Train Robbery
- Do not alter the time on your device. This will result in Death by being run over by a train.
- Do not make too much money in a career and do not gamble to make more to avoid "Successful" or "Highroller".
- Have a net worth of under 50m to avoid "Loaded".
- Do not start on a rich generation.
- Only one successful robbery is necessary, making too much money robbing multiple trains can actually be counterproductive because your character could risk getting "Loaded" instead.
The "Big Boss" ribbon.
Big Boss[]
Finish your business career on top
Difficulty: Hard
It is a golden-orange ribbon represented with an executive emoji. To become a Big Boss, a player must be very successful in their company and career.
Procedures to get the Big Boss ribbon:
- Major in Mathematics, English, Finance or Information Systems (The chance of the major appearing is random).
- Go to Business School after your character graduates.
- Get a Corporate-related job (Business Analyst, Internal Auditor, etc.) for 15 years, then work harder every year.
- Become an Assistant Vice President after 15 years, work harder until you'll promoted to be CEO.
- Have a net worth at least of over $20 million.
