It’s made by Mystman12. First is Baldi. He is a creepy teacher in the school. Baldi said when you entered the game, “Welcome to Baldi’s Basics in Education and Learning! That’s me!”.

His head is bold with 1 orange hair, eyebrows are orange, the lip is red, eyes are black and white, fingers are long. His clothes are a green t-shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes.

When you get the first notebook with 3 math problems correct and then Baldi will give you a shiny quarter(coin) and say, “You did great! Come here and get your prize, a shiny quarter.”

When you do a math problem, if you do it correctly Baldi will say to the player, “That’s right. You’re doing fantastic. Great job. Good one.  But if you fail on the math problems and then Baldi will chase you with a ruler.

If he catches you, he will slap you with the ruler. In school, there is a detention room. In the detention room, there is a picture of Baldi. On the Baldi of the picture, there is said about Baldi, “Great teacher due to his incredible hearing abilities!

He can not only tell where any sound came from, but who made it too!”. The second is Playtime. She is a student in the school or known as one of Baldi's friends.

Her hair is brown, her eyes are black, the nose is big. Her clothes are a red skirt, sky blue pants, and brown shoes. Playtime always wants to play with you with a jump rope.

When you fail to jump on the jump rope, she will start again counting 1-5/1-10 and the player will start playing. She will not let you go until you finish the game.

When you’re running you will see Playtime come towards you and say, “I want to play with someone. Let’s play. Ready go 1-5 or 1-10”. After playing she would say, “Wow that’s great, let’s play again sometime soon”.  

Playtime is a problem for some players when they want to run from Baldi. In the detention there is a picture of Playtime and it says about her and that is, “Despite her poor eyesight and short memory, she’s always looking for a playmate! “ let’s play”.

Next is Principal of the Thing. He is a principal in the school or known as one of Baldi’s friends. In the school, there is a poster of school rules and it says, “School Rules!

When you follow the school rules: No running. No entering faculty. No bullying. No drinking. No escaping detention. No fourth wall breaks”.

If you fail to or don’t follow the rules, the Principal of the Thing sends you to the detention room for 15/30 seconds. His hair is brown, his eyes are black and white. His clothes are a gray t-shirt, gray pants, and black shoes.  

He always likes to close his eyes, whistle, and walk in the hallways. If you run too fast to run from Baldi, the principal will catch you and put you in the detention room for 15/30 seconds and he will say, “No running in the halls.

Detention for you. You should know better. Your parents will hear about this one! When will you learn?”. Other rules he would say, “No eating foods in the halls”, “No escaping detention in the halls”, “No entering school faculty only rooms in the halls”, “No drinking drinks in the halls”, “No breaking fourth wall in the halls” and “No bullying in the halls”.

The principal of the Thing is a problem for some players too. In the detention room, there is a picture of the Principal of The Thing and it says about him, “If I see anyone breaking the school rules, I’ll make sure justice is served! It tastes good and fills my tummy!”.

Next is It’s a bully. He is a bully in the school or known as one of Baldi’s friends. His hair is brown, his body is like an oval shape, hands and legs are like long cylinders with a tan ball put on top.

His clothes are an orange t-shirt with blue sleeves on his hands and legs. It’s a Bully always block at the corner of the entrance. If you have any items, It’s a Bully will take one item from you and say, “Give me something great. I’ll take that it’s mine now.  Thanks for the generous donation.”. If you don’t have any items with you, the bully will say, “What no items?

No items! No pass!” and block the entrance. It’s a bully is a problem for some players too. Because whenever the player wants to pass from the bully, if you have something important with you, the bully will take one of the items from you.

There is no chance that the bully will take the important item or take the unimportant item. The character It’s a Bully, on the side of the bully’s head a title is floating and it says, “This is a Bully”. In the detention room. There is a picture of the bully and it says, “Here at here school, we believe every good school needs a good bully! That’s why we have this kid!”.

Next is Gotta Sweep. He is the janitor of the school or known as one of Baldi's friends. There is no janitor in the school, but this broom is the janitor in the school and he can clean the floor in just one minute. He is so fast that Gotta Sweep is the best person in the school to sweep you on another hallway.

The Gotta Sweep is a problem and helpful for some players too. The helpful thing is he runs faster than Baldi and pushes you in another hallway. The problem is if he runs towards Baldi's path and then Baldi can catch you easily.

When funs in the hallway and says, “Look like it’s the sweeping time! Gotta sweep, sweep, sweep!”. In the detention room, there is a picture of Gotta Sweep.

In the picture of Gotta Sweep and it says, “What do you do when the school opens in 7 hours and you haven’t hired a janitor? Hire a broom! It sweeps everything.”.

Next is the 1st Prize. The 1st Prize is a robot that was created in the school science fair by some kids and they won 1st prize. And that’s why the robot’s name is the 1st Prize.

He likes to hug people when he sees you and then he will chase towards you. He is very useful in the game. His body looks like a gym cage, has 2 wheels for legs and they look like caterpillar wheels.

Has round hands with each sporting 4 stubby fingers and has a large crimson heart connected to his head by wires inside his torso. Has a spherical head, has a rectangle shaped mouth and has a cut off section revealing the big round googly eyes with long pointy pupils.

When he sees you, he will chase towards you and then he will say to the player, “I am coming ready or nor here I come. I see you - friend. I hug people for eternity. Will you marry me? I have been programmed to desire your image”.

And when you go away from 1st prize and then he says to the player, “I have lost you - I don’t like that. Oh - no. I am looking for you”. The most important thing about the 1st Prize is that he can push you from 1 hallway to another hallway.

In Baldi’s Basics, most of the characters are very problematic to the players, but the 1st Prize is a very useful and nonproblem character in the game. Players look behind if Baldi is coming, then the player stands in front of the 1st Prize, then they wait for a little bit and the 1st Prize starts running.

The 1st Prize runs quickly but it turns slowly. In the detention, there is a picture of the 1st Prize and it says about him, “Won 1st Prize at the science fair! Loves hugging people, rushing towards anyone it sees.

Sadly, it turns super slowly.”. Next are Arts and Crafters. It is a character or one of Baldi's friends. It is a white and gray long-sleeved sock - puppet with googly eyes, the right eye is big and the left eye is small.

It has a black mouth and a red tongue made of cardboard. The black mouth is visible when the mouth is closed and it can be seen when the mouth is opened. He is very shy in the game.

It is seen at the end of the hallway for 10 or 20 seconds. After the player collects all the notebooks and then the player wants to escape to the exit. But Art and Crafter think that the player has more notebooks than him.

Then he opened his mouth and ran towards the player and made a loud sound. Then the player saw, he teleported in front of Baldi and then Baldi caught you, and then the game over.

In the detention room, there is a picture of Arts and Crafters and it says about him, “Shy, and tries to be avoided. Doesn’t like being looked at, and gets jealous at people with more notebooks than him”.

In the game, there are 2 endings one of them is the normal ending and another one is the secret ending. If you want to make the secret ending, you have to collect all notebooks and make all math problems incorrect.

Then you have to go to the exit door. Then the player will see a wall and it says, “you won! There’s room for improvement through… Go see Baldi in his office for some tips!”.

Then the player turned around and saw there is a green door and in front of the door it says, “Baldi’s Office”. In the Baldi’s office, the player saw a Baldi stretched out through the floor to the roof. And saw in front of the player a chalkboard and it says, “A.

Historically. Yum!”, a person named “Filename2''. He has black hair, his eyes, a red t-shirt, and blue pants. And his other body parts are invisible. On the right side of Filename2’s head is a floating banana.

He says an important message in the game, “Oh jeepers, you found me! I’m glad you found me. Look I have something… kind of important t-to say- ___ It’s about th-the game…

Don’t- ___ Uh, Eh. Don’t- ___ Don’t, just, *laughter* this is… This is probably looking pretty ridiculous- ___ Don’t tell anyone about this game. You wanna… Don’t- don’t bring attention to yourself. Destroy- destroy the game.
