Paint it Black, the latest challenge of BitLife, is one of the sneaky challenges that looks easier but demands careful planning. Throwing players into a French saga, it covers family drama, BitLife career choices and more, testing one's ability to navigate profession and relationships.
To succeed here demands some careful planning around life events, which one cannot always control. If you are struggling to complete it, here is a BitLife family drama guide for you to complete the BitLife Paint it Black Challenge with ease.

Black Challenge
?
As part of the challenge, there are 5 distinct goals that require thorough character setup. Quite crucially, one's journey begins as a female born in France. This is non-negotiable.
Even the country of one's origin matters in this challenge, but the city does not. Quite importantly, ensure the character has a father and one brother at least (younger or older). These family ties are important as the character needs to argue with dad while mourning one's sibling later.
Note:
To outlive the character's father and brother is non-negotiable. So, make sure to monitor the family health quite closely through the Relationships tab.
Suppose the starting family doesn't fit, it's better to reroll till you are able to get the right setup. Check the Relationships tab early on to confirm who is in life. Without key figures, completing the challenge is impossible.
Choose a career and get a pet
As part of the second step, with the character turning 18, go to full-time job listings and search for a painter's role. It is marked with an emoji of a paint palette. The role doesn't need any degree, but an art background will definitely help.
If the job does not appear, just close it and then reopen the app or try to age it up a year before you check again.
A painter's job usually pays decent money. It helps with the next step, which is to buy a turtle (Francois). As this is a low-cost pet, just a few years of work would be able to cover it. Just make sure to keep grinding until you land the Painter's role, and that's it. You are set. Also, once you have enough money, visit the Pet Store—present under the Activities tab to get your new pet.
With this BitLife painter job guide, you will be able to complete the challenge with ease.

How to complete Bitlife's Paint it Black Challenge!
This challenge tests your mettle with the fraught family objectives. To provoke an argument with a father is not always intuitive. So, instead of choosing random chats, weaponize gift giving. For it, head to profiles in the Relationships tab and present your father with something he truly dislikes—like dead flowers, coal or some bizarre stuff.
Make sure to repeat the process. It will trigger a heated confrontation between you and your father in-game, which is essential here.
Just argue back as soon as he snaps.
The final and somber task to complete this challenge will be to mourn the passing of your brother. While patience is a route, you can even age up repeatedly and hope that nature will take the course via accident, illness or old age. For those who seek darker and swifter conclusions, more direct methods exist.
Using the Assassin's Blade item will guarantee you no messy consequences. If not, take matters into your hands and risk a police intervention. Delay the mourning till you have potential jail time. Remember, patience is the key here. There are some steps that need it. So, do not rush. Keep an eye out for the family's health and job listings, too. As soon as all tasks are completed, you will be able to unlock the BitLife mystery prize box.
Enjoy it.
