Baldi's Basics Classic in IOS

Our Expert Score

85/100

Baldi's Basics Classic is a fascinating cultural artifact and a genuinely tense experience. While its 'Windows 95' aesthetic might look primitive at first glance, it's a deliberate choice that fuels a sense of deep unease. The game expertly parodies the poorly-made educational software of the 90s, only to subvert it with a terrifyingly relentless AI antagonist. Baldi’s ruler-slap sound is an all-time great audio cue in horror.

The gameplay is deceptively deep; it’s less about math and more about resource management and pathfinding. Managing your stamina while being chased by a cast of bizarre school faculty (like the Principal or Playtime) creates a high-pressure environment that is both hilarious and stressful. It’s a rare game that manages to be both a meta-commentary on gaming history and a legitimate survival horror challenge. It’s a classic for a reason.

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!


Requires iOS 9.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
