Notebook

"To win the game, you must find 7 notebooks, and then exit the school! You have to have fun too, of course!"

- "HOW TO PLAY" screen

Notebooks are the main objective in the Baldi's Basics series and supposedly belong to the player's friend in Baldi's Basics Classic.

Description
The notebooks are spiral notebooks found in classrooms hovering on big desks. The colors that they appear in according to the files, the notebooks are (in order) black, blue, cyan, green, red, salmon, and yellow.

Baldi's Basics Plus
Hide-and-Seek/Explorer Mode= Once the player left-clicks on the notebook, it will be immediately added to the notebook counter, the player's stamina is refilled, and Baldi will go a bit faster. The amount of notebooks is changed based on the floor:
 * Floor 1: 4 notebooks (1-3 notebooks if there are errors in the level generation.)
 * Floor 2: 7 notebooks (6 notebooks if there are errors in the level generator)
 * Floor 3: 9 notebooks

Starting with Floor 2, Baldi's Math Machine can be found in some classroms. To get a notebook, the player must answer the problem correctly by using one of the number balloons floating around the room.

After collecting all the required notebooks, the elevators will be opened. The player must reach all of the elevators to complete the floor.

Notebooks award the player 10 You Thought Points when collected. Notebooks from Baldi's Math Machine do not award YTPs, however. Similar to Hide-and-Seek and Explorer Mode. But, there is no limit to the number of notebooks the player can collect. After a certain amount of time, the notebooks will respawn in random rooms, and a chime plays to notify the player of their presence. If the classroom has Baldi's Math Machine, the player has to solve the math problem again in order to get a notebook. The player's score will be on the screen when caught by Baldi and it wall appear on the leaderboard. The amount of notebooks in the challenges are different:
 * -|Endless Mode=
 * -|Challenges=
 * Speedy Challenge: 25 notebooks
 * Stealthy Challenge and Grapple Challenge: 7 notebooks

Baldi's Basics Classic
Story Mode= The notebooks have different colors and are slightly bigger. Left-clicking or touching the button near the first notebook will open the You Can Think Pad, which prompts the first 3 normal math problems that are possible to solve. However, the second notebook and onward will show an impossible and corrupted question that the player cannot solve.

When the player collects all seven notebooks (so long as they get 6 questions wrong), Baldi will become fast (a bit faster than the player's running speed) and rush at the player. At this time Arts and Crafters will also become a new threat to the player. If looked at for more than a second, he will zoom at the player and bring them straight to Baldi which puts the player at risk of a game over.

The new objective is to then find all four exits in any order and finish the game. The gameplay is almost the same as in Baldi's Basics Plus. If the player finds a notebook in this mode, the unsolvable math problems (aside from the 2nd notebook) will be solvable, but Baldi will still accelerate while the player is trying to find them. When the player gets caught by Baldi, the number of notebooks they collected is their high score for Endless Mode if the player collected more than they did last time. The high score is displayed near the Endless Mode icon.

Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash
There are the same seven notebooks like in Classic. There are also two additional salmon notebooks located in the Glitched School.

Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered
There are the same notebooks in Classic/Birthday Bash. As seen in the Baldi's Basics 3 Year Anniversary Presentation! video, there is a cyan notebook, but it is placed on where the salmon notebook usually was.

Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo
In this demo, there are 8 notebooks to collect.

Trivia

 * General
 * The notebook's respawn audio in the Endless Mode is a slowed-down version of a crashing cymbal. In Music Maker, the sound effect is and edited with.


 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * The notebooks are a lot smaller than in Classic and Birthday Bash.
 * Prior to V0.1.3, when the notebook respawned, the subtitle showed and in V0.1.3, it showed . It is because there was no value for the notebook respawning sound's key before the V0.1.4 update.
 * Prior to V0.2, a regular notebook did not give You Thought Points.
 * Prior to V0.3, floor 1 sometimes had 5 notebooks, floor 2 sometimes had 6 notebooks, and floor 3 had 8 notebooks.
 * Floor 1 containing 1 to 3 notebooks and floor 2 containing 6 notebooks is not intended, but it depends on the amount of classrooms the floor generates.
 * Prior to V0.3.3, all notebooks were green.
 * In the game files, there are 7 notebooks, but the black one has yet to be used in the game.


 * Classic/Birthday Bash
 * Notebook under the school.png time a notebook is collected, it is stored beneath the map. This can be seen when hacking the game or when glitching outside of the Schoolhouse.
 * Notebooks can still be interacted with below the map. That means that more than 7 notebooks can be collected in Story Mode.
 * It is possible to hack the game to make the 3rd problem for the 2nd to 7th notebooks solvable. However, not everything is fully loaded until the player gets a question wrong.
 * The salmon notebook on the Story Mode icon looks gray due to a dithering effect.
 * The respawning audio is also played in the Kickstarter video when mystman12's face is closing up and he makes the frowning face. It is twice longer than the game's audio.


 * Baldi's Basics Classic
 * There were two duplicated red notebooks in the original version's pre-update versions before the red notebook in the classroom with the chalkboard saying "The world is big. Class dismissed." was replaced with a yellow one in V1.4.
 * Each notebook was originally planned to include different subjects than just math, but due to time constraints, while the history and spelling subject is considered too difficult for those who do not understand American histories and the English language, the idea was cut. Although according to mystman12 during his stream, the subjects are still intended to be added for Baldi's Basics Plus, although they will be logic-based instead of facts.
 * When hacking, the notebooks' supposedly-used subjects are revealed as follows:
 * Geography: Yellow notebook.
 * English: Green notebook.
 * Spelling: Blue notebook.
 * History: Red notebook.
 * Math: Salmon notebook.
 * Geology: Cyan notebook.
 * Science: Black notebook.
 * In the "HOW TO PLAY" screen from the game menu screen, the word "notebooks" is misspelled as "noteboos" as a typo.
 * This typo can also be found when the developer tested Baldi's ruler slapping interval by using some graphs.
 * In V1.0, notebooks did not recover the stamina.
 * If loading the school scene in Unity, sometimes the notebook counter is set to 5/7 for a strange reason.
