Baldi

About Baldi

Baldi starts out looking like a weird old-school math game. Then you get a few answers wrong, hear that ruler slapping against his hand, and suddenly getting out of school becomes your only concern. Your goal is to collect seven notebooks and reach the exit, but Baldi gets faster as you make mistakes. The more you explore, the harder it gets to stay ahead of him.

Seven Notebooks, One Big Problem

The first notebooks usually aren't too difficult to find. Things get messy when Baldi starts closing the distance and you're still searching for the next classroom. Here are a few things worth keeping in mind:

• Don't sprint everywhere: Walking saves stamina for when Baldi is actually close.
• Remember where you're going: Running into a dead end with Baldi behind you is a problem you can avoid.
• Hold on to useful items: BSODA shoves Baldi back, and Safety Scissors get you out of Playtime's jump rope game.
• Don't ignore other characters: They'll slow you down or wreck your route right when you don't need it.

The School Never Gives You Much Breathing Room

Baldi isn't the only one making your escape difficult. Other characters can interrupt your plans, forcing you to change direction or waste time. A hallway that seemed safe a moment ago might not be a good choice anymore.

Rather than running blindly whenever you hear Baldi nearby, look for another route and think about which item could help. You won't always get away cleanly, but a little patience beats wasting all your stamina in the first chase.

Is Baldi Worth Playing?

Definitely, especially if you enjoy horror games that turn simple rules into stressful situations. The graphics are basic, the math questions are easy enough, and the school looks almost silly at first. That contrast makes the chase more memorable than you'd expect.

Collect all seven notebooks, find the exit, and try not to let one wrong answer ruin your escape. Baldi makes even a school assignment feel like a terrible idea.
If escaping Baldi's school isn't stressful enough, try Horror Nun, where you must explore a creepy school, find useful items, and avoid Sister Madeline to make it out alive.
