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

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.

This game is super fun, like combining math and horror is super cool. Except there is a few problems. When I try to use the boots on arts and crafters it does not work. And on endless mode when I get 8 notebooks baldi sounds like a car! (I mean he's fast). And sometimes I glitch into a wall. But other than that this game is great! But still fix the other problems. Bye.

It's good but it could use a few minor changes. Well for one, the endless mode is impossible to beat once you get a high score, and for two, even if you try to outrun baldi it's physically impossible, even if you have your entire inventory filled with b-sodas. Anyways, the game is good overall, but it's impossible to outrun him even if you finished story mode with all 7 notebooks, it's physically impossible. But the game is really good I like playing it I'd like to thank basically games.
