Worst Class Ever has officially launched on PC via Steam, inviting players to turn an ordinary school day into an exercise in classroom disruption. Developed by Funcore Games and published by 2P Games, this asymmetric multiplayer party game pits one teacher against as many as seven mischievous students, with each side attempting to outsmart the other.
The launch follows a successful appearance during October’s Steam Next Fest, where the game’s demo surpassed 1 million downloads and reached the No. 1 position on the event’s player count chart. That early interest has now led to the full release, bringing its blend of classroom mischief, competitive multiplayer, and increasingly ridiculous pranks to a wider audience.
At its core, Worst Class Ever is a game of cat and mouse. One player takes on the role of a strict teacher tasked with keeping the classroom under control, while the remaining players become students looking for every opportunity to cause trouble without getting caught. Sneaking snacks, passing notes, throwing paper planes, making noises, and generally ignoring classroom etiquette are all part of the experience.
Players will need to be careful about how they behave, however, as the teacher is constantly looking for signs of trouble. Students can attempt to blend in with NPC classmates by mimicking their behaviour, making it harder for the teacher to identify the actual troublemakers. Those playing as the teacher, meanwhile, must identify disruptive students and put a stop to their antics before the classroom descends into complete chaos.
There is more to the experience than simply throwing objects around, with classrooms offering different environments, hiding places, and interactive elements to take advantage of. Players can also make use of various gadgets and prank items, including smoke bombs, drones, tranquilizer guns, and invisibility spray. The teacher has their own challenges to contend with, including a stamina system that penalizes catching the wrong student. Fortunately, writing on the blackboard provides an opportunity to recover that stamina.
Worst Class Ever supports up to eight players per match, with customizable game settings that allow groups to adjust up to 20 different options, including player counts, the number of teachers, and item spawn rates. There are also up to 10 classroom themes, additional locations to explore, and a new female homeroom teacher character. Beyond the classrooms themselves, players can cause trouble in corridors, playgrounds, and even the toilets.
Other additions include Steam Workshop support, LAN multiplayer, improved server performance, and an expanded selection of prank items. The game also gives players plenty of opportunities to experiment with different approaches, whether they prefer quietly avoiding the teacher’s attention or making themselves the most disruptive student in the building.
With its simple premise and emphasis on multiplayer mischief, Worst Class Ever looks to turn familiar schoolyard antics into a competitive party game where nobody can quite trust the person sitting at the next desk. Whether players are attempting to maintain order or doing everything possible to destroy it, the classroom is unlikely to remain quiet for long.
