Baldi's Basics Classic

Basically, Games!

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!

Ratings and reviews

The nostalgia is crazy with this game. I love this game and I can never grow out of it. Haven't played in a long time so I re-downloaded it and it's awesome. I feel like they could update it if they wanted to. But it hasn't been updated ever. Although I understand a little. There's no ads either so that's pretty awesome. And they say it's a horror game but it's not even scary honestly. Unless you're like two. I Recommend this game. I only gave it four stars because it has no updates

Great horror game. However, my phone is trashso I can't really play this. :( My only complaint is why is the sensitivity so high, I know you can change it, but if you were to go play the game, not changing the setting people will immediately notice this and rate it 1 star for no reason. IDK why people rate this 1 star. This is meant to be a horror game and meant to be challenging. The graphics are bad because it is supposed to be a call back to educational games in the 90's. Great game.

I see a lot of problems, including various items not working. First of all, the Big ol' Boots is meant to stop 1ST Prize from pushing you. Baldi (only in this version, not in plus or classic remastered), gets faster for each question that is wrong. Buggy because the game is three years old, and might not work so well. I look forward to future updates to Plus and Classic Remastered. I can't wait to see what future awaits Baldi and his friends.
