Worst Class Ever has sold more than 100,000 copies on its first day, according to a public announcement from its developer. The classroom party game launched on Steam on 9 November, and the team shared the milestone on 11 November, so this is a sales update rather than a claim that the game has only just arrived today.
Funcore Games’ setup puts one teacher against up to seven disruptive students, who try to blend in among NPC classmates while secretly causing trouble. The teacher has to identify the real troublemakers, while the students get on with the important business of eating snacks, passing notes and generally making a lesson impossible.
It is an online multiplayer game for two to eight players, with no single-player mode. That is worth checking before a cheap impulse purchase, because the classroom chaos depends on having other people to play with rather than a solo campaign waiting in the timetable.
The developer’s milestone post thanks players for the launch response and says the team will keep working on improvements and additional content. The 100,000 figure is the developer’s reported sales total, rather than an independently audited count.
For UK players considering joining in, the Steam listing currently shows an introductory price of £3.69, down from £5.69, with the offer listed to run until 23 November. It is available for Windows PC and published by 2P Games and Elegoose Games.
The appeal is easy to understand from the premise: behaving normally is part of the disguise, right up until somebody decides that this is the perfect moment for a prank. Whether your group can convincingly manage the “normally” part is an entirely separate question, and one the store description cannot answer for you.
