How to earn the Houdini ribbon in BitLife

There are plenty of ribbons to be won by BitLife, some for accomplishing remarkable things in your virtual life, and others for a somewhat less commendable feat. While the Houdini Ribbon may seem deserved as you dedicate your life to becoming a famous stage magician, the truth is, it just became a different kind of escape. To get the Houdini BitLife tape, you're going to have to turn to a life of crime.

Winning the Houdini repeatedly requires you to be put in jail and escape. It might seem like a difficult goal to achieve, but it's actually not too difficult as long as you know the right strategy.

The first step is simply to commit a crime and get caught. Any crime will do, then you could just go wild, but you risk being placed in a maximum security prison harder to escape, the worse the crime you are caught for. Instead, we recommend getting caught on a flight. You can pick up BitLife easily, and getting caught will throw you in jail.

Once in jail, you'll want to escape as quickly as possible to start the cycle all over again. You can check out our full guide to getting out of jail in BitLife, but the bottom line is that you have to outsmart the guard to get out. Prison guards move faster than your character, so in order to get away from them you'll have to get them stuck on pieces of the environment. The guards will move two spaces towards you for every move you make, but not if they're blocked by a wall. Use this to your advantage by keeping a wall directly between you and the guardian as much as possible, and you should have little trouble escaping.

As soon as you get out of jail all you need to do is commit another crime, get sent back to jail and escape again. Aim to get out of jail about 10 times and you should receive the Houdini Ribbon. Remember, you can only win one ribbon at a time, so be careful not to qualify for other ribbons when trying for Houdini. Specifically, make sure you don't die in jail, otherwise you might receive the Jailbird Ribbon instead of the Houdini Ribbon.
