Bitizens are the pixelated citizens of Tiny Tower. They live in Residential floors and work on Commercial floors in the player's Tower.
Moving In[]
Up to five (or six with Shared Living/2GT upgrade or seven with both of these) Bitizens can live in a residential floor (apartment) together.
They can move into a player's Tower in one of three ways:
- By appearing in the Elevator in the Lobby and asking to be taken to a certain floor. If the floor they request is a residential floor with room for a tenant, they will move in.
- By bringing a Real Estate Agent VIP up to the residential floor you want to fill. The Real Estate Agent will instantly move in as many Bitizens as there are empty spots.
- By tapping on the floor of your choice and selecting "For Rent x Bux" in a vacant space. The player will need to confirm that they want to "Move a Bitizen in to this apartment immediately at the cost of x Bux?". The cost starts at 5 Bux, and seems to increase with each new residential floor built. For example, it costs 45 Bux to move in a Bitizen at 15 residential floors.
Bitizens may also be evicted from the Tower, as long as they are not currently stocking an item at their place of employment. Your tower needs a minimum of 1 bitizen excluding yourself (the Doorman), and attempting to evict your last remaining bitizen is not possible.
As of version 3.0.0, the player may edit the name of the Bitizen. A player may also send a Bitizen to a Friend's Tiny Tower using their 4-5 character game code.
Doorman[]
As of version 3.0.0, each Tiny Tower has a Doorman to welcome guests to the Lobby. You can change the costumes as any other Bitizen.
As of version 3.1.5, a player may visit Friends and they will earn 10 Bux after completing an Elevator trip.
As of version 3.3.2, a visiting Bitizen may become a resident by moving into an Apartment with a vacancy.
Working[]
Each Bitizen has a randomly-generated set of skills that determine the types of businesses they work best at. The skills correspond to the five types of commercial floors: Food, Service, Recreation, Retail and Creative. Each skill level ranges between 0 and 9. The higher the Bitizen's skill at a certain business type, the greater the discount will be on the items stocked by a floor of that type (each skill point of the proper type increases the total discount for all items stocked on that floor by one percentage point).
When a Bitizen is employed at a particular commercial floor, he or she enables the stocking of an item for sale at that floor. The first Bitizen hired enables the stocking of an item valued at 1 coin. Hiring a second Bitizen at that floor enables the stocking of a second item valued at 2 coins, and hiring the third and final Bitizen enables the stocking of a third item valued at 3 coins.
Dream job[]
Every Bitizen also has a Dream Job, which indicates the particular floor where they would most like to work. Employing a Bitizen at their Dream Job has two benefits, one initial and one ongoing:
- The first time a Bitizen is employed at their Dream Job, the player immediately receives 5 Bux (2 Bux before version 3.0.0). Note that you cannot continue to gain Bux by moving that Bitizen to another job and then re-hiring them at their Dream Job.
- Each Bitizen employed at their dream job causes all further stockings of a single item to be doubled in quantity. If the floor has one Bitizen employed in their dream job, the floor will automatically stock twice the normal amount of the first item for sale (i.e. the item that sells for 1 coin). If the floor has two Bitizens in their dream jobs, the floor will automatically stock twice the normal amount for the first and second item, and all three Bitizens in their dream jobs will cause the floor to stock all three items at double their normal quantity. Bitizens who have been employed at their dream job also pay a much higher rent.
Silver star =dream job and skill under 9. gold star = dream job AND skill 9.
Appearance[]
Bitizens wear colorful clothing, sometimes accompanied with accessories. Before, male bitizens could have facial hair and ties, while female bitizens could have earrings and headbands, while other accessories could be worn by either gender, such as glasses or hats. Now, each bitizen may wear any combination of accessories, regardless of gender. The player may change the bitizens' outfit, accessories, and coloring as desired in the customize menu. Bitizens may also wear costumes, which can be unlocked by delivering a bitizen on the elevator wearing a certain costume.
Tips[]
- Gifted Bitizens will not expire.
- Delivering a bitizen to a floor under construction/restocking will immediately take (1 + #GT) minute(s) off remaining time. For example, if you have 5 golden tickets and a floor under construction which shows the countdown time "20M", delivering an arbitrary bitizen to that floor will reduce the construction time to "14M".
