To finish the challenge, you must complete the following task in any order:

  • Be born a female in New York
  • Become a CEO
  • Start a spy agency in a laundromat
  • Steal $5M+ from a single rival spy agency
  • Commission your spies to assassinate 3+ ex-lovers

Before starting the Sterling Spy challenge, you must buy the Secret Agent Expansion Pack in BitLife. The entire challenge revolves around the DLC, which you can purchase from the in-game store for $4.99

How to be born a female in New York

Ready to start your mission? The first objective in the Sterling Spy challenge is to be born as a female in New York. It's as simple as selecting female as your starting gender and New York as the birthplace while picking The USA as your birth country. You've got this! Move on to the next task in the challenge.

How to become a CEO

This one is the most challenging part of this weekly activity. To do this, you must get into Business School. You must also study well from a young age and keep your smarts stat above 90. You can do this by using the Study Harder option each year and visiting the library. Repeat this procedure till you graduate high school. 

Then, after passing high school:

  1. Get into a college and then attend a business school.
  2. For the fees, ask your parents or take a loan.
  3. Once you graduate college, get any job with the (Corporate) tag from the Jobs section.
  4. Keep toiling your corporate job by increasing your work hours and climbing the ladder.

The usual pattern is Assistant Vice President > Vice President > Executive Vice President > Managing Director > CEO. It will take anywhere from 10 to 30 years to reach that position. So, focus on this objective in parallel with running to Spy Agency!

How to start a spy agency in a laundromat

The next objective is the most exciting task in the Sterling Spy Challenge. Click on the Secret Agent option from the Premium Activities tab and start your agency. In the list of Spy Agency Storefront disguise options, pick a Laundromat.

Voila! You have started a spy agency with a false front store as a laundromat. Remember, laundromats cost around $5 to $25 million. So, save money from your CEO position to own one.

How to Steal $5M+ from a single rival spy agency

The penultimate objective is to steal over $5 million from your rival spy agency. To do this, you must hack their servers by playing the firewall layout and password-guessing mini-game. It is a challenging mini-game, and I recommend using our dedicated guide to get through it. 

Once you are through, steal the maximum amount of money available in their account and repeat the procedure until you steal the $ 5 million.

How to Commission your spies to assassinate 3+ ex-lovers

The final task in the challenge is to have your spies assassinate 3+ of my lovers. You have to complete two different functions for this.

  • Have three or more lovers
  • Hire a spy for your agency

The first thing is to have more than three or more lovers. During your lifetime, date multiple people using the Date Apping or anyone interesting from your peer groups. You can easily make anyone fall for you by spending time with them, gifting them, and going out together. All these options are under their Activities tab, and you can use them at least once yearly to start dating.

After dating, use the Break Up option to ditch them. Repeat this with three different people to have three different ex-lovers.

To hire a spy for your agency, click on the Agent Recruitment option under your Spy Agency Activities tab and look for any potential candidates. If you like their talents and experience, offer a salary and hire them. The other way is to poach agents from your rivals; you can get contact details of them while hacking their servers.

Use the information to contact them and offer better salaries to make them join your company. 

Once you have ex-lovers and spies, click on your spies and send them on a mission to kill your ex-lovers.
