***Baldi's Basics - Challenges Demo***, also known as ***Baldi's Basics Challenge Map Demo!***, ***Baldi's Basics Challenge Maps Demo!*** or ***Baldi's Basics Plus Challenge Demo***\*, was the second public demo of *Baldi's Basics Plus* for the two-year anniversary of *Baldi's Basics Classic* developed by Basically, Games!. The demo contained a new game mode (Challenge Mode) and three pre-generated challenge maps. Since the release date trailer of *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, the demo was permanently removed from itch.io, due to being outdated.

## Summary

Ever since the Baldi's Basics Kickstarter was successfully funded, I've been working on a full version of the game, now officially titled Baldi's Basics Plus! This demo shows a new mode that will be coming to Baldi's Basics Plus, the challenge mode! There are three challenge maps to experience in this demo, but there will be many more to unlock in Baldi's Basics Plus!

**Speedy Challenge**

It's just you and Baldi in this challenge. The catch is, both of you move super fast! Can you think fast enough to collect 25 notebooks and escape the school?

**Stealthy Challenge**

You've snuck in school after hours! Surely Principal of the Things will be after you. Use dirty chalk erasers, lockers, and your map to avoid being seen and collect 7 notebooks.

**Grapple Challenge**

You're legs might be broken, but thankfully you're equipped with an infinite use grappling hook! See if you can outwit Baldi and his friends when this is your only way to move!

**This game is still in development!**

Remember, this demo is for a game that is still in development, which means that it will likely show the signs of something that is still a work-in-progress. Not all planned features are in the game yet, even some that were in the original game haven't been implemented yet, since I've been prioritizing other areas of development. So if you see something that seems unfinished, that's because it is!

**This game is still a horror game!**

If you've never heard of Baldi's Basics before, it's important to know that this is not actual edutainment, but it is, in fact, a tongue-in-cheek horror game. It's family friendly, but still includes some things that could scare players. This demo **is** relatively light on horror-type content though, and the full game will eventually have much more than what is seen here.

 Version 1.1 | Major update

## Trivia

* This demo was firstly mentioned in the project FAQ section on Backerkit, then in a personal Twitter chat between a user and mystman12, Kickstarter reply, and then later mentioned in the thirtieth Kickstarter post.
* When looking at the code for the game via dnSpy, code from *Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo* V1.2 can be found.
* This was the only demo that was not released on macOS and Linux. Due to time constraints, the macOS version was unable to be created as it might have taken a lot of time to create this version with recently updated macOS at that time. Linux version was planned to be added after fixing errors, but it was ultimately cancelled because there was no Linux version when the demo was removed.
