The original, official version of Baldi's Basics - A horror, edutainment parody 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.
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

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...
Use the WASD keys to move, and the mouse to turn. Left click to open doors and pick up items, right click to use the currently selected item, and scroll wheel to change the currently selected item. Hold down shift to run (Keep an eye on your stamina bar!), and press space bar to quickly look behind you. Escape can be used to pause.

Install instructions
Download the desired .zip file for your platform. It is recommended you download the latest version of the game, as older versions may contain bugs or be missing features from the new,er versions. However, if you enjoy one of an older versions more, feel free to play it! Extract all the files from the .zip file, making sure all the files are in the same folder. The easiest way to do this on Windows is to right click the 'BALDI_X.X.X_Windows.zip' file, select 'Extract All...' and then click the 'Extract' button on the window the pops up. This will put all the files in a new folder of the same name as the .zip file. Activate the game from this new folder, and feel free to move the folder wherever you want, so long as you don't move any files out of the folder.
Linux users, you may have to access the game's permissions and check 'Allow executing file as program' to launch the game.
Android users, follow these steps to install the game:
- Click the download button next to the file 'BALDI_1.4.1d_Android.apk' on the game's main page.
- When you click the download button, you will likely see a warning telling you that this kind of file can harm your device, and if you still want to keep it. Tap OK/Yes (Whatever your device says) in order to continue.
- The file will begin downloading. Once it's finished, one of two things could happen.
- You will see the file name pop-up on the bottom of your browser's screen, with an option to open it. Tap open to continue.
- You will not be prompted with an option to open. If this happens, go to your device's Files app (May also be called Downloads, or something similar), and navigate to the downloads folder. Find the Baldi's Basics file (Again, it should be called 'BALDI_1.4.1d_Android.apk') and tap it.
- If a warning telling you your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps through your browser pops up, tap settings to go straight to the settings menu where you can change this option. Turn on the 'Allow from this source' switch for your browser. Then go back to the screen you were on before. Make sure that you turn this option back off once you are finished installing the game to ensure your device is secure.
- Now you should be on a screen prompting you to install Baldi's Basics Classic. Tap install to start the process.
- Once the app is finished installing, you should be able to tap 'Done' to leave the screen, or 'Open' to go straight into the game! Enjoy!
- Again, if you enabled the ability for your browser to install unknown apps during this process, it is highly recommended you go back into settings and disable this option again for your device's security, unless you regularly install apps through your browser.

Also known as: Baldi's Basics Classic This game has unused areas. |
Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning is a fun state-of-the-art, fully-interactive 3D, educational horror game that parodies some of the more notorious 90s education titles, and teaches a whole wide range of subjects, like math and teaching the player to flee from Baldi and his buddies! An expanded version called Baldi's Basics Plus was released in 2020.

| Revisional Differences This game is not what it seems! |
8 Notebooks
Originally, the game had 8 notebooks, seen in early test versions of the game.
Subjects
Originally, the game was going to have more subjects than just math. Besides time constraints, mystman12 realized that some subjects could confuse the players that lived outside of the US who were not familiar with American history or English. It was later decided to leave math as the only subject in the entire game.
Upon hacking, all seven notebooks are revealed to have unused assigned subjects.

Baldi 27s Basics Machine
Unused Graphics
An early version of It's a Bully's face, which was used for testing AI. This was later used in the Field Trip Demo as an Easter egg, and it's used in the TestRoom from update 1.4.1 onward, though the way you access it is never hinted at.
Arts and Crafters' old description in the Principal's Office. It was replaced because it gave no hints on what the character actually did.
Prior to update 1.3, this used to be the chalkboard in the second classroom. It was replaced by a chalkboard that says 'Sorry, was too lazy to add more subjects'.
Unused Chalkboard referenced as 99.mat. It is used in-game, but cannot be seen normally as it's out of bounds.
A simple graphic of Baldi's legs running. This is used in the mobile version.
A rear view mirror. Like Baldi's legs, this is used in the mobile version.
Logos from the intro. No longer used since Version 1.4.
Placeholder Graphics
A very crudely-drawn placeholder graphic for items.
Placeholder loading version of Joe's Bald's bus from Baldi's Basics Plus and the Camping Demo. It can be found in the full game public demo, and could also be seen in some development gameplay.
Placeholder door graphics. They are just a blue door shape with the word 'DOOR' going down in red text. This could be seen in development gameplay. They were later re-used in Baldi's Basics Plus as the graphics for the door to Gotta Sweep's closet until getting removed again in a later update.
Placeholder camping item reward image. In the final game, after you finish the camping mini-game, you would get items. This could be seen in development gameplay. It is just Baldi's face with an effect. This was later used as the app icon for the Full Game Public Demo and the Challenges Demo.
Placeholder wall, floor, and ceiling textures. These, like other placeholder textures, could be seen in development gameplay. Blue is for the ceiling, red is for the floor, and green is for the walls. They were later re-used in Baldi's Basics Plus as the graphics for the walls and ceiling to Gotta Sweep's closet until getting removed again in a later update.
Unused Color/Contrast Calibration Screen
In the files of the full game public demo, there are photos of stuff like a screenshot of a C64, Paris, etc. They are leftovers from a Unity asset.
| A color calibration screen | |
| A contrast calibration screen | |
| A marker for the calibration screen (dithered) | |
| A screenshot of a Commodore 64 program | |
| A dithered picture of cherry blossoms | |
| A dithered picture of coffee beans | |
| Emojis taken from the EmojiOne 3.0 set (also dithered) | |
| A dithered picture of maple leaves | |
| A dithered picture of Paris at night |
Unseen Areas
There are a few unused, inaccessible locations in the game that can only be found when looking at the map's 3D model.
There are six hidden areas in the map (right): two between three hallways connected to the top-left corner outside of the Cafeteria, one around the Janitor's Closet, one from the hallway of the map's right-hand side where two connected Faculty Rooms are at, and two others from the hallway between where the Noise Phone is found. According to developer Mystman12, these are actually the triggers used to control Arts and Crafters.
Nevertheless, none of these are visible in-game, even when using hacks.
Unused Sounds
Baldi
| Audio | Transcript | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Divided by... | This reveals that you would originally do division as well, but only addition, substraction, and multiplication are present in the game. It may have been removed due to the possibility of the player receiving an impossible question, such as 0/0, making the game unnecessarily harder. | |
| Use the number buttons to enter an answer. Once you think you have it right, press the OK button. | This would make sense if it played in the You Can Think Pad on version 1.4 and up. Except, the keyboard instructions play instead, leaving this sound unused. |
Principal of the Thing
| Audio | Transcript | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 99 Seconds. | Although not unused, it's almost impossible to get 99 seconds of detention, as Baldi would have likely caught the player by 60 seconds. | |
| No looking in other people's lockers in the halls. | This may have been used for a mechanic that the player could click on lockers and open them, each locker containing an item or nothing. Whether the items would be randomly generated or manually placed is unknown. To no one's surprise, this would obviously get you in trouble with the Principal. This was later used when the Principal catches you hiding in a blue locker in Baldi's Basics Plus. | |
| No stabbing people with pencils in the halls. | According to Mystman12 in a livestream, there was going to be a character named Pencil Boy, a little kid who would keep stabbing you with a pencil and the Principal would send the character to detention if he was caught, similar to It's A Bully. It is unknown why this character was removed or how far he went into development before being scrapped. | |
| No eating food in the halls. | This was removed and replaced with no bullying in Version 1.3. It may have been removed due to lack of sense. You do still get in trouble for eating, though. |
Playtime
Playtime would have originally forced the player to jump 10 times instead of 5. The first two sounds were used until Version 1.1, but the files are still in the game.
| Audio | Transcript |
|---|---|
| Jump rope 10 times in a row! Once you do I'll let you go! E-he-he-he-he! | |
| Five! (Note: This one would later be used once again in Baldi's Basics Plus.) | |
| Six! | |
| Seven! | |
| Eight! | |
| Nine! | |
| Ten! |
Tapes
In the very first version of Baldi's Basics, when the player inserts Baldi's tape into the tape recorder, one of these 5 recordings play rather than the buzzing sound present in the final version. They appear to be audiotapes of a nervous, unnamed character explaining how the characters work and how to deal with them.
| Audio | Transcript |
|---|---|
| Is this - If you're hearing this then there's still a chance. I should probably give you some pointers. This is tape recording one. If you can hear this- I already said that. You're gonna need some tips. The most important thing: The teacher, or 'The Baldi Guy' You gotta... don't let him touch you, if he reaches you that's the end of everything. So don't let him touch you, just stay away from him. He can follow you based off sound, if you make noises he'll figure out where here- where that noise came from, so try to be quiet. So try to be quiet. However, there is one thing- one way you can use advantage of that. Loud noises such as this one will distract him from quieter noises, so as long as this is playing you can make quieter noises and he won't bother to look for them, he won't hear them until he figures out that this noise isn't you. So just be quiet and use noise to your advantage. Don't let Baldi touch you. Ok uh... oh my gosh. | |
| This is tape recording Number 2. One thing you gotta watch out for is the principal of the thing, the- the creepy guy. He's- He's sliding around, um... He- he will ignore you, just fine, unless you're breaking one of the rules. If you're breaking any of the school rules, like running or he catches you in a faculty only room or if he sees you eating something, he will come after you and at that point there's no escape, he knows where you are, even if you go out of sight, so you can't hide, so. Basically, he touches you and then he takes you to detention, which is bad, because when you're in detention, Baldi can come in and reach you, which you know, you can't let that happen, this is really... really bad. So um... When you see him don't panic, just- just don't break any of the rules, unless you absolutely have to. Just be careful around him. Just, you know... Walk past, stay cool... Stay cool... | |
| Tape recording number 3. Um... Playtime, the little girl with the jumprope, she's um... She will see you and she will run after you, but um... sometimes if you're lucky she'll trip, which is, that's good run away while you can. If she reaches you she will force you to play jumprope, and you won't be able to leave until you do 10 jumps or something, uh in a row, so you just have to... Stay calm, get the jumps, get them good, get them real great, and um... even if you see Baldi coming towards you, just stay calm and finish jump roping, and uh... you can, make a um, get away, um whatever you say, um... that's good... Right there... | |
| Tape recording number 4. Um... The sockpuppet... um... I'm not really sure about that thing. It just seems to wander... It just seems to stay away from you, um... Kinda shy, he seems kinda shy, like, he just kinda goes away if you look at him, and he never comes th... I've never seen him come close to anybody, so you probably won't have to worry about him, um... But then again you never really know with... with these things but... but that's... that's all I know about sockpuppet, I think his name is like, 'Arts and Crafters' or something, but, don't quote me on that one... Yeah... that's... Can't really... Can't really... Oh my gosh hold on I gotta go. | |
| Uh... Tape recording number 5... I forgot... 'Gotta Sweep', he's the janitor... He just... All he does really is he comes out the janitor closet every so often and... wanders around real fast sweeping, and if he touches you, or anything for that matter, then he'll just sweep you up... along. You can use this to your advantage if you need to get somewhere, you'll get away fast, but also keep in mind that if he sweeps up one of the characters, or you know... he's gonna take them quite a distance... So if he picks up like Baldi or something you'd better... better run or get out of the way. You can get out of the sweep, but um... It can be quite difficult... at times... But yeah he only pops up a few times, he doesn't target anything in particular, he just goes around randomly. Just sometimes gets in your way, so, um... Yeah... he keeps the place clean too which is nice, but, that's about all that's really that nice, about everything, here, going on... Uhh... yeah, okay um... gotta go, again... |
Secret You Can Think Pad Codes
On Version 1.4.1 and up, entering certain numbers on the You Can Think Pad will give you mysterious results.
With the number 31718, the You Can Think Pad will briefly show a message reading 'THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN', instantly teleporting the player to a placeholder room with green and red walls with the words 'place the holder' crudely drawn on them, containing two PlaceFaces; one stays still, and the other chases you, although it does no harm or damage. The number is a reference to when Mystman12 started working on Baldi's Basics: March 17, 2018 (3/17/18). Additionally, the HUD is missing, the pause menu cannot be brought up, the mouse sensitivity is lowered, and the Space key cannot be pressed to look behind you.
The number 53045009 triggers the message 'USE THESE TO STICK TO THE CEILING!' and flips the entire game upside-down, except for the HUD, and that's it. The number, when flipped upside-down, most likely reads 'GOOSHOES'.
