Quick overview

About Baldi's Basics

Baldi's Basics drops you into a strange, retro-styled schoolhouse where nothing is quite right. Your goal is simple on paper: find seven notebooks scattered around the halls and answer the math problems inside. But every wrong answer makes Baldi angrier, and soon you'll hear his wooden ruler slapping against his hand as he hunts you down.

The school is a maze of classrooms, lockers, and twisting corridors. Along the way, you'll meet other characters—some helpful, some not. A broom-wielding janitor, a jump-roping girl, and a principal who hates rule-breakers all stand between you and freedom. Each one has their own quirks, and learning how they work is key to survival.

The tension builds with every notebook you collect. Baldi gets faster, the atmosphere grows more frantic, and your escape routes shrink. It's a game of memory, quick thinking, and nerve. One wrong turn can end your run, but the thrill of outsmarting Baldi keeps you coming back.

With its intentionally crude graphics and unsettling sound design, Baldi's Basics creates a uniquely creepy experience that's part horror, part puzzle, and all adrenaline. Do you have what it takes to collect all seven notebooks and get out before Baldi catches you?

How to Play Baldi's Basics

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move around the schoolhouse. Find notebooks in different classrooms and interact with them to answer math problems. Correct answers keep Baldi calm, but wrong answers will make him chase you. Collect all seven notebooks and then find the exit to escape. Be careful—Baldi gets faster with every notebook you grab, and other characters may block your path or cause trouble.
