- For the item, see Baldi's Least Favorite Tape.
The tape player is a noise-producing structure from the Baldi's Basics series.
Description
It is simply a 2D photo sprite of a black-tinted cassette player, in the same graphics as everything else.
Functions
It can be used in conjunction with Baldi's Least Favorite Tape to temporarily cause Baldi and Dr. Reflex to stop hearing any sound, as well as making every NPC in the floor (including Baldi) to flee from the location of the sound. The tape player lasts for 30 seconds before stopping playback, so the player must use it at the right time to get the most out of it.
Locations
Main gameplay
The tape player is always seen in the Principal's office, where it is found on one of the big desks.
Challenges
- The tape player is absent in Speedy Challenge, but it is still unusable in Stealthy Challenge and Grapple Challenge because both of the challenges do not have Baldi's Least Favorite Tape.
Other appearances
- In Baldi's Basics Classic and Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, the closed tape player will also appear when inserting a Quarter into the pay phone, although this is more of an oversight more than anything.
Trivia
General
- The tape player's sprite is edited from a GE 3-5027A cassette shoebox player.
- Pay phones have same effect as a tape player, but the required item to make a noise is different. (Quarter instead of Baldi's Least Favorite Tape)
Baldi's Basics Plus
- From V0.3 to V0.3.2, after completing the Hide-and-Seek mode, there was a tape player in Baldi's Office. However, because the player cannot move or use any items, it was impossible to use it.
Baldi's Basics Classic
- In V1.0, the tape player played recorded messages instead of the static noise. The tape player would give the player some advice on what each of the characters do.
Glitches
Baldi's Basics Plus
Full Game Early Demo
- In V1.0, the tape player still remained open, even if Baldi's Least Favorite Tape was used.

*Annoying noise* | The static noise after inserting Baldi's Least Favorite Tape in the tape player. This static noise can automatically get random tones, due to the Doppler effect.
