How to Complete the Mean Girls Challenge in BitLife
BitLife loves borrowing from iconic pop culture moments, and the Mean Girls Challenge is one of its most popular pop-culture-themed events. Inspired by the 2004 teen classic, this challenge asks you to channel your inner Regina George — join the most popular clique in school, spread rumors, backstab your friends, and generally make high school miserable for everyone around you. It’s so fetch. Here’s exactly how to complete it.
What You Need to Complete
The Mean Girls Challenge is built around five tasks, all completed within the same life:
- Be a female
- Join the Mean Girls clique
- Start rumors about 10+ friends
- Turn 10+ friends into enemies
- Insult 10+ classmates
It’s best to start a brand-new life for this challenge, even if you already have a female character going, since most of the objectives need to happen early — during your school years — and you’ll want plenty of time to build up the friend count these tasks require.
Step 1: Be a Female
This one’s simple: when creating your character, select Female as the gender. There are no country or city restrictions for this challenge, so you’re free to pick wherever you like.
Step 2: Join the Mean Girls Clique
This is the step that requires the most setup. The Mean Girls clique is the most popular group in school, and getting in isn’t automatic — you need to build up your character’s popularity and looks first.
- Age your character up to around 14–15, when cliques become available
- Focus on boosting your Looks stat — aim for roughly 65% or higher to be safe
- Build popularity through socializing, joining extracurricular activities, and spending time with classmates
Once your popularity and looks are high enough, open the School menu, go to Cliques, and select Mean Girls. If the option doesn’t appear yet, keep building your stats and try again after aging up.
Step 3: Start Rumors About 10+ Friends
With the clique squared away, it’s time to get catty. To start a rumor:
- Make sure you have a decent number of friends (you’ll need at least 10 for this to work)
- Go into your Relationships panel
- Select a friend
- Choose the Rumor option
Repeat this process across 10 different friends. If you don’t already have enough friends built up, spend some time socializing at school first — the “friend” pool for this task and the next one overlaps, so building a wide circle of friends early pays off for both tasks.
Step 4: Turn 10+ Friends Into Enemies
Rather than waiting for the game’s randomness to sour a friendship on its own, you can force this directly:
- Open Relationships and select a friend
- Tap their name again at the top of their profile
- Choose Change Our Status
- Switch the relationship from Friends to Enemies
Repeat this with 10 different friends to complete the task. Since this is a manual toggle rather than something luck-based, it’s one of the more reliable steps in the whole challenge — just make sure you have enough friends in your circle to convert, since you’ll need a fresh set of 10 beyond whoever you already used for rumors if you want to keep your numbers straight (though reusing the same 10 people across both tasks works fine too).
Step 5: Insult 10+ Classmates
The final task is the most straightforward of the bunch:
- Go to the School menu
- Open the Class tab to see your list of classmates
- Select any classmate
- Choose Insult
Repeat this with 10 different classmates. Since this only requires classmates — not specifically friends or enemies — it’s an easy task to knock out quickly, especially in a class with a large roster.
Quick Recap
| Step | Task | Key Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Be a female | Select at character creation |
| 2 | Join the Mean Girls clique | Build Looks to 65%+ and boost popularity by age 14–15 |
| 3 | Start 10+ rumors | Use the Rumor option on friends in Relationships |
| 4 | Turn 10+ friends into enemies | Use Change Our Status — no luck required |
| 5 | Insult 10+ classmates | Use the Insult option under School > Class |
Final Thoughts
The Mean Girls Challenge is one of the more approachable weekly challenges once you know the tricks — the trickiest part is really just getting your Looks and popularity high enough to join the clique in the first place. After that, everything from starting rumors to turning friends into enemies can be done manually through menus rather than relying on random events, so with a bit of patience during your school years, you’ll have this one wrapped up well before graduation. Complete all five tasks and you’ll unlock a mystery box with a random cosmetic reward for your trouble.
