When it begins, the Player will be greeted with Baldi, who will explain how the game works. Once the Player gets into a classroom, they will find a notebook. Interacting with it causes the You Can Think Pad to appear onscreen, with Baldi's face shown explaining how the Player can use the Pad to answer questions. The first notebook will be simple and doable. Baldi congratulates the Player and gives them a quarter (present in Birthday Bash edition) when they have answered all of the problems correctly.

Going to the second notebook, the two questions will be normal but the third is a jumble of randomized numbers and letters. When Baldi says the numbers for the third question, this will prompt a loud glitchy noise rather than a number. The Player can't solve this question (unless using a mod or cheat), so to progress, they must answer it incorrectly, which will jump to the next stage of the game.

Baldi will start chasing the Player with a ruler, and each notebook they collect will prompt him to go faster since the third question is unsolvable (he quite literally reminds the Player that he gets angrier for every problem the Player gets wrong). If Baldi reaches the Player, the game is over.

The goal of this game mode is to collect all 7 notebooks in the classrooms while avoiding or challenging the characters. Right now, there are 5 other notebooks to find.

Once the Player collects all the notebooks, the Player will be greeted with Baldi's voice over the intercom saying the following:

During this phase, if the Player reaches one of the exits, it will be closed off at the last second, replaced by a wall with blocks that indicate a rough map of the Schoolhouse, including a "You are here" indicator. The Player must activate three exits, and then leave through the fourth one to win the game. However, it is challenging to complete this task at this point, as Baldi moves extremely fast, and the exits are all around the outside of the school, one being in the cafeteria. Additionally, Arts and Crafters becomes hostile, since the Player has more notebooks than him. That being said, he will charge at the Player if looked at and teleport them and Baldi to the start.

After going to one exit, the whole school will turn red. Two exits result in an ear-splitting pitch-rising static sound playing until the Player wins or loses. Three exits slowly start to increase the sound's pitch in order to stress the Player.

This game doesn't just teach education, it also teaches FUN!

Inspired by creepy/bad edutainment games from the 90s, (Sonic's Schoolhouse, I.M. Meen, 3D Dinosaur Adventure: Save the Dinosaurs), Baldi's Basics is a meta horror game that's really weird, with no real educational value to be found. Collect all 7 of the notebooks and escape the school, all while avoiding Baldi. Baldi has many friends in the school that will slow down your progress and put you at risk of being caught, so learn how each character works and how you can avoid their attention. Find and use items to your advantage. Oh, and finally, try not to get the quiz answers wrong... Each wrong answer makes Baldi angrier...

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! Check out the options menu to adjust them to your liking!

At the start of the game, Baldi appears, greeting and waving to the Player. As the Player goes on to collect the first notebook they will be greeted by the You Can Think Pad showing a set of three math problems, presented by Baldi. In the first round of the math problems, everything is normal. However, when the Player activates the second notebook, the third and final question is replaced by an unintelligible string of numbers, and Baldi's voice will become glitched and distorted. This question has no correct answer and replaces all final questions from the second notebook onward.

Upon getting a question wrong, Baldi will start to chase the Player, his speed being determined by slapping sounds from his ruler hitting his hand. It is at this point in the game that the other characters will begin appearing. The more questions the Player answers incorrectly, the faster the Baldi will chase them.

Once the Player finds all 7 notebooks, Baldi will congratulate the Player before he screams, "GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!", followed by a laugh. Baldi will now be moving at his fastest as there are no more notebooks, thus no more questions to get wrong. Now the Player must find four exits in any order. Once the Player finds one of the exits, everything will become red and the doorway will become a solid wall with a school map on it. Three of these exits are fake, the last one the Player reaches being the real one they can finally leave out of. Before the Player tries to exit, a loud noise is heard in the background.
