Bitlife has a myriad of ways for you to commit crimes and become notorious by getting yourself in trouble. But, if you want to get yourself into Juvie, there are only a few ways to get apprehended by the cops and get the taste of prison for a short time, which will also help you to complete the recent Problem Child challenge.

Here’s everything you need to know about going to the Juvie in Bitlife

To go to Juvie, or the Juvenile Detention center, in Bitlife, you’ll need to get caught by the cops before you turn 18 and become an adult.

Age your character to seven years, then make your way to activities and scroll down to the Crimes option. While you won’t always get caught by the cops doing crimes, there are a few crimes where you can get the cops’ attention quite quickly.

One of them is Burglary, where you can choose to rob any house. After you start the robbing mini-game, you have to avoid getting caught by the people and dogs long enough until the cops show up in the maze. After a few seconds of dodging the dogs in the maze, you should see the cops looking for you in the maze and you can clash with them. If you can’t stay long enough in the maze and keep getting caught by the dogs, you can consider other crimes.

You can try your hand at crimes like Mischief, Pickpocketing, Porch Pirate, and Shoplifting to get the cops’ attention. While many of these might not land you in Juvie at first, keep repeating them and eventually someone will report you to the cops, who should catch you red-handed.

Once you get caught by the cops, you will be sent directly to Juvie without having the option to run. Juvie sentences are usually shorter in length, usually a year or two, but they can increase if you resist the arrest or try to escape. After getting into Juvie, you won’t have access to any other game functions until you serve the sentence except the Juvie menu, which allows you to visit the Cafeteria to meet your fellow delinquents and interact with them. You can also cry, seek an infirmary if you’re ill or injured, send a close one a letter, or just pass some time by going to the gym, reading books, or meditating.

How to escape juvie in Bitlife

The most interesting and obvious option is Escape, where you will be put in a maze mini-game with a single cop who can only move twice horizontally toward you upon your every move. The trick to beat the cop is to use the black walls to your advantage and lock him in a place to easily move toward the exit. While the map is smaller and it’s much easier to calculate your moves, one slight misstep could potentially bring the cop closer to catching you, which will lead to having an even longer sentence in Juvie. 

If you’re looking for an easier way to break out of Juvie, you can either use the paid Break out of Jail card, or watch an advertisement to steal a guard’s uniform to walk past the cops without any repercussions. Since Juvie sentences are smaller than prison, you can also age up your character to legally serve your sentence and carry on with your life.
