Principal's Office

"Party at the Principal's office! Come and get your present!"

- Party event description

The Principal's office is one of the Schoolhouse and Super Schoolhouse's rooms.

Description
This room consists of blue carpet flooring and white brick walls with green molding. The office contains several posters on walls which showcase the characters in the Schoolhouse and Super Schoolhouse. They briefly describe each character's main abilities and functions. The room is also filled with an assortment of desks with yellow globes resting on some of them. On one of the desks, there is a tape player that can be used to play audio from Baldi's Least Favorite Tape.

Main Gameplay
Principal of the Thing will instantly teleport the player here if caught after being scolded by breaking one of the School Rules:
 * General
 * Running in any location except the playground and this room.
 * Using the BSODA in any location.
 * Being outside his office while in detention.
 * Entering, exiting, or staying inside faculty rooms.
 * Opening or closing the lockers.

During detention, the text "Comic Sans MS" will appear in the screen and the player will be unable to leave the room until a given amount of time has elapsed. However, there are a few ways to escape detention:
 * If the door to the Principal's office is still open, then the player can escape until the door closes.
 * When the flood is active, all doors remain open. However, the door to the Principal's office will not open during detention.
 * Using a whirlpool in the office to teleport to a random location.
 * Using the Principal's Keys to unlock the door.
 * Placing a Portal Poster on one of the office's walls.
 * Teleporting by looking at Arts and Crafters or using a Dangerous Teleporter, but there may be a chance that it will teleport to the same location.

When Principal of the Thing sends the player to this room, Baldi will be attracted to the center of his office, unless the tape player or pay phone is making a noise. It's a Bully is also sent here under school bullying violations (blocking the player's path for items), though he will disappear from the office almost instantly.

Detention can last from 15 to 99 seconds. The timer increases by five seconds each time the player is caught until the timer reaches 60 seconds, from which any further detentions will last for 99 seconds.

This is also a place where the party event will be held in this place occasionally, giving the player an opportunity to either dash to the office to get the item or use the event as a chance to get a notebook easily and quickly while some of the characters are distracted.

The Principal's office contains a button for the lockdown door and the Principal's Keys on one of the tables.
 * Endless Mode - Medium

Other Appearances

Trivia

 * Not every character poster is featured here. There are up to five posters for characters who spawn in the current floor.


 * Classic/Birthday Bash
 * The player can avoid detention by entering the Principal's office themselves then waiting to walk through the door. However, if the player gets out of this location, he will send them to detention immediately.
