Baldi's Basics® Classic

Schoolwork with a horror twist

Baldi's Basics® Classic is a first-person strategy game set in a strange school. You need to find seven notebooks and make it out while Baldi tracks your movements. The game uses the look of old educational software, but the objective is survival rather than learning. It suits players who enjoy chase games, unusual humor, and learning a map through repeated attempts.

Plan your route

Each notebook brings a new problem to solve, but collecting more also makes Baldi move faster. The school is filled with characters and usable items that can change how an encounter unfolds. Choosing when to explore, when to hide, and how to move between rooms matters as much as reaching the next notebook. Remembering the layout helps you avoid wasting time when the pressure increases.

Two ways to play

• Story mode: collect all seven notebooks, then find a way out of the school.
• Endless mode: keep collecting notebooks for as long as possible before Baldi catches you. Solving notebook problems can reduce his speed for a while, giving you more time to continue.
