Baldi at School: Punishment
Baldi at School: Punishment drops you into a nightmarish version of a classroom. The building is silent, but you're not alone. The headmaster, Baldi, patrols the corridors with a wooden ruler, and he's not shy about using it on students who get their sums wrong. Your mission is straightforward: locate seven notebooks scattered across the school. Each one contains a math problem, and your answers shape your fate. Get a correct answer, and you move on. Falter, and the ruler comes down hard—and Baldi's pace quickens. The true horror emerges from the tension that builds with every misstep. As you solve equations and dodge Baldi, you must also manage your stamina, avoid locked doors, and find clever hiding spots. The game layers a sense of dread over simple arithmetic, forcing you to think fast and act quicker. With each notebook, the challenge grows, and the school feels smaller and darker. Do you have the nerve—and the math skills—to collect all seven and escape before Baldi catches you?

What is Baldi at School: Punishment
Baldi at School: Punishment is a horror puzzle game that turns basic arithmetic into a fight for survival. Solve problems, stay quiet, and outrun a teacher with a very short temper.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move around the school. Interact with notebooks to answer math questions, and press space to use items like the soda or door stopper to help you escape Baldi.
Tips for Playing
- Always read the math problem carefully; a wrong answer makes Baldi faster.
- Use the soda to temporarily stun Baldi and gain some distance.
- Plan routes between notebooks to minimize backtracking.
- Listen for Baldi's footsteps and the sound of his ruler to know when he's near.
- Use the door stopper to block one door behind you, but be ready to find alternative paths.
