How to complete the Schwarzenegger challenge in BitLife
BitLife’s latest weekly challenge asks players to follow milestones inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s life, combining migration, long-term gym visits, acting fame and a political career. The challenge requires five goals and may take decades in-game, with becoming governor dependent on owning a paid job pack.
Players must start a male Austrian character, emigrate to the United States and visit the gym at least once each year for 40 consecutive years. They must also become a famous movie star, which the guide recommends preparing for early by improving looks and pursuing acting work. The final goal is to become governor: players need the Politician Job Pack and should build towards the role through lower political offices, with money and intelligence helping their campaign.
In short
- Start as a male character in Austria and move to the US.
- Visit the gym annually for 40 years.
- Become a famous actor and governor; the latter requires a paid job pack.
Explained simply
BitLife is a life-simulation game in which players guide a character through education, work and other choices over many years. Its weekly challenges set goals based on a theme or real person, and this one draws on the life of Austrian-born actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The challenge follows a character from Austria to the United States, with milestones in fitness, film acting and politics. Becoming a governor in the game involves standing for office, and that goal depends on access to a paid job pack.
