Baldi's Basics Classic – Strategy Game Review
Baldi's Basics Classic is a Strategy game from Basically Games, LLC, first launched in 17th December 2019.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 19,275+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Baldi's Basics Classic Stand Out
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!
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We like Baldi so much Baldi is so bald and green shirt we do math our favorite subject and Baldi gave us an A+ green Baldi shirt apple also we have Baldi plus 9 dollar 99 cent.
We love horror games. And its pretty fun actually! We love it!! 19/10.
Who ever added that little girl and Charles we wish you the worst and we mean that with every viper in our damn body.
We have friend names max told us about this horror game and it sounds like he knows everything about the game so we got the game and it is so funny and scary it is a great horror game.
When you get the first one right and on to the second one and you get it wrong baldi will be slapping his ruler he will when you get the third one in when you start the game on the first note book after that get the last one right and baldi will be slapping his ruler its a bug and Im a YouTuber check out. We did it on our channel Ok bye this is a super crazy bug if you want to try it you can LOL.
This is a cool game. Everybody likes this game TFG and you only are so cool make more of these basics but mods.
Oh our god we actually remember this game since we were a kid and redownloaded it the nostalgia is getting to us this game is so fun even when we keep dying over and over Ive never won the game ever since we were a kid lol.
We only know a couple of answers to the impossible question Baldi gives us but we want the actual answer to it.
If you saw those YouTube videos then you know this what you know like U.
It seemed to be chill at first but then when we collected the 2 note but and got question 3 wrong we didnt know what happened Becuse that was our first time ever playing it. This one of the best game we have our phone right now. :).
Ok so recently we got a notebook wrong. It was the second question. And then Baldi was way faster than the 7 notebooks part we were onl6 at the first one.
Baldis basics so originally when you open the game, it says if you havent found out by now, this is not a learning game, which we strongly disagree with it is Has really taught us to not to get math problems wrong and has really helped us succeed in school beautiful game bye bye lovelys.
See Im trying to beat with every wrong notebook to get the secret ending so we did it and we literally see null to destroy the game.
Its a good game and its very hard, but its still good.
We dont know why people dont understand that the game supposed to be the 90s vibe. DESERVES 5 STARS.
We typed the code 31718 it took us to a maze with its a bully we love this game it's so fun.
So we played this game when we were younger and we loved it and we redownloaded it again to see the fun and we got two notebooks it was kinda hard but not to hard and it froze but we loved it.
Its good we just die a-lot but its still good anyway im gonna try out reviews or glitches.
As a profesional gamer ourselves heroic chuckle we can easily say that this is a GREAT game. All it needs is a little tweaks, like the principals RNG, but then again, this was made in 2018 (At least this version), so its not going to be incredible. The only OTHER complaint that we have is for another game-Baldis Basics plus. We complain about it because its not available for mobile, which makes you get a computer, and we know people arent buying a computer just to play Baldis Basics plus.
It turns out that first prize is kind of a helper in this game because of how the robot pushes you like a grapple hook.
Cool game w or L wwww you should download this game.
One time when we were playing after we got too 7 notebooks everyone but first prise had disappeared, we restarted the game and it was fine, we dont know what happened tbh.
So, we're a big fan of baldis basics we played it since 2018, and yeah but we never downloaded the mobile version so, anyway we downloaded this game and there's no Wi-Fi needed! We really love baldis basics and you should download it.
So, the evil school teacher a.k.a. Baldi just it is faster and principal the thing we hate r1 gives detention for 30 seconds r2 sometimes gets us killed not so easily cuz there is this glitch where in the detention room you stay in the corner of the room r1 Baldi looked nice never mind: tip get yellow door lock don't get to cozy touch the yellow door lock button when seen and close.
We beat the game twice when we were 6 and now Im 15 and honestly nothing has changed except the old graphic but overall W game.
This is one of the best horror games and the first horror game Ive ever played so but Im the top student in our class yet. We always get chased by the teacher in this game. Excuse us also can you please add like spelling.
We just want yo clarify that THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS for the parents who are complaining (_")IT EVEN SAYS IT IN THE Beginning of the game this is for older kids <(^)> . So parents just want to tell you this is not for kids.
We made a review but thought we would state that Im 9 now!!! Im more been playing its not glitchy but the glitch / hack still remains when we go into a corner it dosent catch us witch we love but than we cant escape and once he tried to catch us and we ran and the principal caught us witch we appreciated becuase apparently baldy is so dumb, he can not go through the principals door? For us he never went through and we had to restart the endless mode and we hade 56 note books (because we went to our cousins house and they wanted to play and they r so older than us. They got the impossible question which we visited in normal mode when we had 6 note books ) we have beaten this game once and it was so joyful it was on our 7th birthday Sincerely, Fluffy the frog.
So we love this game very much cause we use to play when we were younger and we figured out the game got remastered and now we have a question? How do we get the remastered version? Is it only on computer? But the games amazing we never beat it before 10/10 game (if its only on computer pls put the remastered edition on mobile pls).
MIKU MIKU YOU CAN CALL ME MIKU BLUE HAIR BLUE TIE HIDING IN YOUR WIFI OPEN SECRETS ANYONE CAN FIND ME ITS A GOOD GAME FYI.
We have every game from mm12, from classic to plus, (yes even the kickstarter) we just LOVE the baldis basics series. We think its MM12s best creation and everyone should play it. Also to whoever doesnt play it, YOUR MISSING OUT! It teaches math, survival, and FUN! And if youre about to download it, get ready for some edutainmental horror mixture FUN! -MadSeneOfSus.
We love finding original games like this, especially with this style of graphics. Its very refreshing. Most fun Ive had with an App Store game.
Can we have classic remastered mobile port now.
We love the game and all the material for the game we like the concept of a angry math teacher trying to get you sometimes we will laugh at how mad we get some times when we get boxed in by Baldi and play time or Baldi and bully but our favorite is when its Baldi and first prize when the game came out it was awesome especially when you get to meat null great job mist man keep up the good work.
Baldis basics is an good game we like the idea of having to collect notebooks while a bald teacher is chases you But doesnt have a good graphics but its fine the other characters are cool we guess But Baldi is our favorite character we hope mysman12 releases Baldis basics plus on mobile.
We like Baldi and the version that Im using on our phone still has the place the holder texture btw pls use paperdoll more in your fanon.
We love this game but we cant seem to get the doors open so Im very confused and we even looked it up some one pls tell us how.
We love this game for almost 8 years since it was created in 2018. We love Baldis basics, The Principle, Playtime, The Bully, first prize, gotta sweep, and Arts and crafters. Can you make another game Thats a sequel it is.
Okay so everytime we got a single answer wrong he would get so angry and started lagging with his ruler and he would slap it on his hand very fast faster then auto clicker and when we see him while its fast he just walks normal speed please fix this.
Ok so its fun but theres a glitch if you get the first question wrong on the first notebook and the two other questions, right he will slap his ruler really fast and run really fast oh very weird glitch overall but a lil funny.
No ads, very fun. We didnt know you could get this game on mobile. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND (edit: ) people keep saying the graphics are bad but ITS SUPPOSSED TO BE LIKE THAT LIKE HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT (only suggestion is to maybe import baldis basics plus to mobile. Btw PLEASE DONT REMOVE BALDUS BASICS CLASSIC FROM MOBILE).
Step by step or caps? Ok BOTH 1. GET ONE ZESTY BAR AND TWO BSODAS AT 7 NOTEBOOS AND USE THOSE FOR ADVANTAGE!!! 2. RUN AND MAKE EVERY EXIT RED UNTIL THERES ONKY 1 LEFT! 3. AVOID ARTS N CRAFTERS AND PRINCIPAL THEY R UR MAIN ENEMY AT 7 NOTEBOOS ESCPEILLY IF ITS RED (dont mind our spelling we had a bad day) 4. AVOID EVERYONE EVEN PLAYTIME SHES A BI 5. SIT BACK N ENJOY DA ENDING!!!!! We hope this helps you we love you all god bless u and the developers.
We might be spoiling but when you start baldis is hopefully super happy at you and gives you a coin anyway 2nd notebook he gives easy questions but the impossible ones oh geez no so when you defeat all seven notebooks the school house turns red and you might escape but if you dont you have to start ALL over again. Btw good game download now.
This game is so good,you guys remember gobbledegook from frustrated gamer.
If you are a fan of Baldis basics, but have never played it play this.
This game is fun, But its really hard, If your looking for some good hard games this is the game for you.
Playing this game since 2019 brings back so much nostalgia watching big Youtubers like kindly Cian and beautiful. Ill be play. These games just brings back so many memories. We remember when us and our Homies used to go on this game after school and grind to see who would get the farthest. But we feel like we should add classic remastered and remastered plus to mobile because we feel like its not fair that its only on steam and computer and things like that and its not on mobile and we kinda wanna play it because we havent played any of those games yet because we havent bought them on our computer because we havent been playing Baldi but this game isnt very nostalgic for everybody. That was playing on mobile games back in 2017 like now basically.
We love this game. We play it when we have NO INTERNET! Except, theres a glitch in the corner of a classroom (classroom 99 perhaps). You collect the first 2 notebooks, when you collect the second notebook, you can go in the corner. Once you do that, Baldi cannot get to you. Overall we love this game. We watch @KindlyKeyin play this game almost every single day. Also, it kind of annoys us when Playtime wants to play jump rope with us. Overall its good! And we hope theres more updates.
WHY DOES EVERYTHING CALL ME A BALDI HAVE HAIR.
As soon we saw this game IT WAS ALREADY FUN!!! But we already new the characters.
