GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Collect Notebooks Across the School

Players take the role of a student exploring Baldi’s strange school building. The main objective requires collecting seven notebooks hidden throughout the campus hallways. Each notebook contains three math questions presented through a retro educational interface. Correct answers allow players to continue exploration across classrooms and corridors. Some questions appear intentionally impossible and trigger dangerous consequences during gameplay.

Avoid Baldi and School Characters

Baldi becomes increasingly angry when players answer questions incorrectly. The teacher begins chasing the player through hallways while using a ruler to track movement sounds. Several other strange characters also roam around the school building and interfere with progress. These characters create unpredictable obstacles that force players to change strategies and movement routes.

Survival Through Strategy and Awareness

In Baldi's Basics, players must explore classrooms, hallways, and school facilities while avoiding enemies and collecting notebooks. Sound awareness becomes important because many characters react to player movement or nearby noises. Items scattered around the school can help escape dangerous encounters or delay pursuing enemies. Successful players gather all notebooks and reach the exit before Baldi catches them.
