"Hello there! Welcome to my fun schoolhouse!"

"Hello, and welcome to my fun schoolhouse! My name is Foxo, and I will be guiding you today. Let's get started!"
—Foxo at the beginning of the game when introducing the Main Menu

Foxo's Fun Schoolhouse is a fangame based on Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning developed by Nicec00lgames, who is also known for his work on the soundtrack of Leo's Amazing Subjects.

The game simply revolves around you in a school with the titular Foxo, who is there to help educate you as need be. However, as you'd expect from this sort of game, not all is as it seems, as you discover in your journey to gather several comics for a friend.

You can download the game here or here.


This fangame contains the following examples:

  • Alone with the Psycho: Throughout the entire game, it's only Foxo you have to deal with. However, he makes up for the lack of any other characters by posing an even bigger threat than your typical Baldi Expy, being able to bounce to close the gap on you or teleport at will. He'll even smash entire doors down just to get to you. "Power of Friendship" and "Endless" do avert this in that other characters are present to hinder your progress.
  • Anti-Frustration Features: The Wrath map is the biggest of the four Story maps, and as such, can be difficult to navigate through. As such, numerous maps are pinned up around the floor to help you find your way around.
  • Arc Words: "Get better grades". First seen on a chalkboard in Normal Mode and recurring on other chalkboards in the maps, and stated bluntly by Foxo at the beginning of Chaos Mode. Sure enough, your fate in the endgame depends on said grades, which depend on your performance in all four of the main maps. You can check these grades at any time from the Main Menu.
  • Artificial Stupidity: In "Clone Chaos", if you set a fire down in a room with numerous Foxos on your trail, every single one of them will divert their attention to putting out the fire, not even paying you any mind.
  • Bizarrchitecture: Some of the tables around Foxo's schoolhouse are quite frankly bizarre to look at, like one hanging from a ceiling in the Chaos map, and several with very tall legs in the Nightmare map.
  • Bonus Level: Foxo's Fun Schoolhouse has a few of these available after beating the game for the first time.
    • Math Madness: Duel against another student in solving math problems, all while Foxo looms ever closer. If he touches your opponent, you win.
    • Spelling Run: Run through all the doors with the correct spelling, all while Foxo endlessly pursues you.
    • Burger Stack: Make burgers by stacking the correct ingredients on top of each other and matching the template on the left of the screen. The aim is to make as many burgers as you can before you end up failing.
    • Clone Chaos: A map where you have to deal with eight Foxos at once.
    • Triple Education: Survive in Here School with Foxo, Baldi and Leo on your trail.
    • Power of Friendship: From the Baldi's Basics root, it's back to a new map, but this time, Foxo's got friends to cause you trouble.
    • Endless: Collect as many comics as possible before Foxo catches you. It's made harder with all the characters from Power of Friendship present.
    • Speedy: Collect all the comics and escape while you and Foxo are really fast.
    • Classic Nightmare: The original map made for the Nightmare difficulty.
    • Yes: The final Brutal Bonus Level, where it's just you, and a glitched Foxo who can really give you trouble.
  • Clone Army: "Clone Chaos" has around eight Foxos pursuing you all at the same time.
  • Developer's Foresight:
    • In "Triple Education", all the necessities to avoid each teacher are at hand; the fire extinguisher and placeable fire to infuriate or distract Foxo, the glue to halt Leo in place for a moment, and BSODA to push all three teachers back to gain some distance.
    • When playing "Triple Education", Baldi and Leo can be seen sitting on the bench with Foxo.
  • Expy Coexistence: "Triple Education", one of the available bonus modes, includes both Baldi and Leo trying to get at you alongside Foxo.
  • Final Boss: Completing all of the "STOP" difficulty's tasks and surviving leads to this with a now Eldritch Abomination version of Foxo, outright hellbent on killing you personally.
  • Interface Spoiler: Subverted for the Main Menu of the game. Foxo's tutorial into it explains the four major options, though he doesn't explain the other menu options available.
    • A Sound Test can be accessed by clicking on the CD player on the menu.
    • Unlockable Difficulty Levels can be accessed after finishing the game for the first time, such as a Hard Mode that makes the game MUCH more difficult, and a Speedy mode that speeds the game up to be three times faster.
    • A teacher's hat can be used after getting the Good Ending to look at your graduation certificate again.
  • Multiple Endings:
    • Normal Ending: This is achieved by simply fleeing out the entrance at the end of Normal Mode, resulting in a A Winner Is You screen before you go back to the Main Menu. Simply put, you need to find another way out to see the rest of the game.
    • Good Ending: If you get an overall good grade by Foxo's judgement, you'll win a graduation certificate, and Foxo and his friends will do a performance for you before the credits roll.
    • Bad Ending: If you get an overall bad grade by Foxo's judgement, he'll stare angrily at you before triggering a Jumpscare. However, because of this, there's still one final hurdle you need to overcome to truly finish the game, in the form of the "STOP" difficulty.
  • Player Nudge: At the end of the Good Ending, Foxo congratulates you post-credits and tells you that you can now access the extra modes, though asks if you've found all the game's secrets thus far.
  • Retraux: Alongside the usual nods to both Baldi's Basics and Sonic's Schoolhouse, "Triple Education" uses the HUD elements from Baldi's Basics itself, right down to Baldi greeting you instead of Foxo (in part due to the mode being in Here School).
  • Spelling Bee: A twisted spin on one is introduced as part of the "Spelling Run" extra mode, where you have to run through doors with the correct spelling to a word, which get more difficult each time, as Foxo relentlessly pursues you non-stop.
  • Synthetic Voice Actor: Foxo always speaks in this tone, which can sometimes make him hard to take seriously, despite his increased threat. All the other characters are voiced by various people, though.
  • A Winner Is You: Such a screen comes up at the end of Normal Mode if you decide to leave through the entrance. However, it glitches out in its variant seen at the end of the "YES" bonus mode.
