The NINENINE secret was a secret found in Baldi's Basics Plus.
Description[]
The NINENINE secret only works in V0.7 (excluding its pre-release), as this secret, along with all references to it, were entirely removed from the game in V0.7.1.

A bunch of yellow 99s appearing on the screen.
If the player names their save file "NINENINE", sets the date of their device to September 9, 2024 (if it isn't already that date for them), and waits for 99 seconds on the title screen without doing anything, a bunch of yellow 99s will appear all over the screen with Principal of the Thing saying "99 seconds" loudly, then the sound clip will play again very rapidly.

The first screen in the NINENINE secret.
After a while, the player will be met with with a screen of text where an unknown surveyor has neutralized a threat, assesses the situation, and then determines the possibility that the encounter is a coincidence (which is usually 18%). After that, they turn to the player and tell the player to accept the agreement. If the player declines it, the surveyor will flash an image of _
, and tell them that "YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER", and they have to "ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT BEFORE [THEY] DESTROY YOUR COMPUTER". This never happens, as the more times the player declines, the more this process repeats until they press Accept.
The player is then asked a series of random questions from a set list of unique questions. On the first and second question, the surveyor responds with "THANK YOU FOR INTEL" and proceed to the next question. However, when the player answers the final question, the questioner will respond with "INFORMATION INCOMPATIBILITY DETECTED", and takes their answer as a lie, thus filling the screen with several red "LIAR"s in a row. This part (and everything onward) is scripted and does not randomize per encounter.

in NINENINE secret.
_
will appear onscreen and a glitchy static sound is heard in the background. After a while, the surveyor would tell the player that they are DOOMED, before telling the player to accept another offer of theirs. The offer in question is that the player would have to answer one last question, and in return, would be fed some secrets. They tell them that the encounter itself is not canon, BUT that does not mean the secrets being told are not canon. If the offer is accepted, the survey will continue. However, if the player declines it, the surveyor will respond with, "YOU ARE USELESS TO ME", and the game will crash shortly after. Regardless of which option is chosen, _
will disappear and the glitching will stop.
On Question 4, the unknown individual asks the player if they know anything about 99 and an unknown matter known as [99]. This question is guaranteed, as part of the section after the third question being scripted. After the player answers the question, they will give out one final "THANK YOU FOR INTEL" before a weird static noise starts playing over an image of BadSum
. In the process, questioner reveals that "BadSum" is not the character's real name, that his appearance is outdated, that he will look different when the player sees him again, and that "99" and BadSum
might meet someday in "Baldi's Basics T", with the full name of "Baldi's Basics T" being cut off.
After the cut-off happens, they regain signal to higher priority instances, and the player is left with one final message, stating the following:
"99) MISSION COMPLETE; TERMINATE FUNCTIONALITY"
The player is then unable to do anything else besides close the game, as nothing happens after that.
There is also an alternative to the console. The yellow 99s that appear on the screen have a chance to destroy. There is a specific cap of them that are destroyed (which is 16 or above), plus a few other flags that expand on it. This secret is very rare. If the yellow 99s are destroyed less than 15 times, and another 99 seconds have passed since the yellow 99s spawned, then a secret message will appear. The message is:
WHERE IS 99
IT IS HERE NOW
WHERE IT BELONGS
IT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO WHAT CAME BEFORE
BUT IT IS CRUCIAL TO WHAT LIES AHEAD
After the secret message is over, a red 99 will appear and slowly zoom in more and more. The game will crash soon afterwards.

Trivia[]
The error message from the Baldi's Basics Plus early access trailer.
- The number 9 that is used on the title screen in this secret originates from the number sprites seen in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, where only the numbers one through three are used in-game, with numbers four through nine being unused.
- The questioning part might be a reference to Dr. Sbaitso, which was an AI chatbot that was created in 1992 that acts like a psychologist and asks about the person's problems. His voice was also was used for 1st Prize and the test procedure event.
The

The surveyor that appears in the secret game over screen of Revenge of the Crazy Baby.
DSCI 0000
.- The "ODDS OF COINCIDENTALITY" are "18%", which is the result of adding up two nines or multiplying 9 by 2.
- The "HOW TO EAT CHEESE" question is a reference to a chalkboard that is used in the Baldi's Basics series. It was also a name of a soundtrack of the Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Video Soundtrack.
- In the first question, it is possible to be asked "IS THERE A GORILLA-LIKE ENTITY ANYWHERE NEARBY YOUR LOCATION AT THIS TIME", which is possibly a reference to the unused Gorilla animal in the second version of the farm.
- The fact that the third question of the quiz cannot be answered without being called a "LIAR" may be a reference to how in Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash/Classic Remastered it is impossible to answer the third math question on the second notebook in the You Can Think Pad.
- The sound that plays when a red letter appears on the screen also plays when a question on the Math Machine is answered incorrectly or when the player gets a strike for not choosing the correct food in time in the Pick-Quick-Nic minigame.
"Where is 99?" in the middle of the conspiracy board.
