Many of us who are playing BitLife right now are a little nerdy. Whether you’re a D&D enthusiast or have a strong interest in a particular topic, we all have some nerdy tendencies occasionally, and you can express them by working through BitLife’s Nerd challenge.

Regardless of how nerdy you may or may not be, parts of this trial can still be a bit difficult to work through. If you’re struggling to get it done, here’s how to complete the Nerd challenge in BitLife.

There are five key goals you must complete in the Nerd challenge:

  • Be born in Texas.
  • Wear glasses.
  • Join the Science Club.
  • Join the Dungeons and Dragons Club.
  • Become a computer programmer.

You won’t need any special career packs or expansions for this challenge. However, multiple objectives featured in this one rely on luck, particularly those involving school clubs, so it can be a bit of a waiting game to get it all done.

Be born in Texas in BitLife

The first objective during BitLife’s Nerd challenge is to be born in Texas. When creating a new character, choose the United States as your country and any city in Texas as your starting place. A variety of random locations in this state may be available, including spots like Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Your city doesn’t matter as long as you select one that’s in Texas, so choose whichever option you prefer.

Your stats won’t matter too much for this challenge, so don’t worry about them as you age up. Although high smarts will make later tasks a bit easier, it’s entirely optional. The most difficult part will be having poor eyesight and finding the clubs you need later on.

Wear glasses in BitLife

Your next objective is to have your character wear glasses. The easiest way to do this is to age up and wait for your character’s parents to show concern over your eyesight and request an eye exam. You’ll have the option to pick “Forget it, I need glasses,” which’ll automatically fail the exam and give you glasses.

Join the Science Club in BitLife

Next up, it’s time to join the Science Club. While your character is in school, you’ll need them to join two different clubs for this challenge. You can do this by picking School, clicking on the name of your school, and selecting the Activities section. Your first goal is to join the Science Club, which’ll appear with a DNA symbol next to its name.

You can start joining clubs in middle school, with additional options available in high school and university. If you don’t see the Science Club right away, graduate from one school and recheck the list once you join another. You may have to wait until you’re in university and pursue multiple degrees or graduate school if you get unlucky. Otherwise, you can recreate your character and repeat the process until you find the club you need.

Another option if you don’t find the Science Club as a teenager is to enter university, check its activity list, then drop out if you don’t spot the option you’re looking for. From there, you can repeatedly re-enroll and check the list until you find what you need. Along the way, you can keep an eye out for the D&D club to knock out two birds with one stone.

The next task in this trial is to join the Dungeons and Dragons club. Like before, you’ll need to check your school’s activity list for it and apply for the club once you find it. If you don’t see it at one school, age up and check the next until you see it.

Become a computer programmer in BitLife

The final mission you need to complete is to become a computer programmer. You can become a computer programmer by graduating from university with a computer science or information systems degree. After applying for university and finishing your degree, check the full-time job list for a computer programmer position before applying and passing the interview.

If the degree option doesn’t appear right away, age up and recheck the list or close and reopen your BitLife app. Similarly, if you don’t see a computer programmer position in your full-time job list, restart your app to refresh the list.

You’ll complete BitLife’s Nerd challenge after joining both clubs and becoming a programmer. Finishing weekly events rewards you with special cosmetics to use on your characters, letting you customize them however you wish.
