About this game

This game is not what it seems...

Inspired by creepy/bad edutainment games from the 90s, Baldi's Basics® is a meta horror game that's really weird, with no real educational value to be found. The goal of the game is to collect seven notebooks, and then escape the school, but that's easier said than done! You'll need to learn all the ins-and-outs of the game to come up with a winning strategy and avoid being caught by Baldi. Learning how to use Baldi's friends to your advantage, wisely managing the items found throughout the school, and memorizing the layout of Baldi's school are all keys to success!


This game has two modes, story and endless!

• Story mode requires you to collect 7 notebooks and then escape the school to win. The more notebooks you collect, the faster Baldi will become! Simple, but very challenging.

• Endless mode is a challenge to see how many notebooks you can collect before being caught by Baldi. Over time Baldi will speed up, but each time you successfully solve the problems in a notebook he'll slow down. The longer you can keep his speed down, the more notebooks you can collect!


This is an official port of the original game with touch screen controls and controller support! Check out the options menu to adjust these features to your liking!

It is a cool little game - Fun old school graphics and music, very unique "student/staff" creatures and comfortable controls. I love the rear view mirror button. It is challenging! A true mix of tactic and pure luck. Took me awhile to actually beat it, but motivating enough to want to keep trying. I wouldn't say it is heavy on horror (Maybe just at the very end) but there are elements that can be considered creepy or eerie. Overall, a solid thumbs up.

Great game! Another classic horror type game, but something I do suggest is maybe adding a map for the player, that shows where they are and where the notebooks are but it doesn't show where baldi is. Because I have found myself lost quite a few times, and because of this I lost. So it would be quite helpful for the player if there was a map.

This game is great for how much time they had to make it in! For people wondering about the game it is a horror game NOT a learning game as it says at the start. If you want to change the sensitivity the options is in the menu. Theres an impossible question on 6 of the 7 books, that is part of the game not a glitch. I haven't had any ads while playing it. Overall great game for a quick thing to play!
