Worst Class Ever Is Out on Steam, and the Teacher Has Completely Lost Control

One teacher. A classroom full of troublemakers. Nobody remotely interested in the lesson plan. Worst Class Ever has arrived on Steam, and the staffroom probably wants its money back.

Developed by Funcore Games and published in partnership with 2P Games, the asymmetric multiplayer party game pits a strict teacher against students whose main objective is to cause trouble without being caught. The publisher announced the release for 10 November 2026, and Steam now lists the game as available.

A teacher versus an entire classroom

The setup sees up to eight players in a match, according to the publisher’s launch information: one takes charge of discipline, while up to seven attempt to behave badly with enough subtlety to avoid detection. Other children in the classroom are NPCs, meaning students can attempt to disappear into the crowd.

That includes sneaking snacks, passing notes, playing with phones and trying to turn a perfectly ordinary school day into an administrative incident. The teacher needs to identify the actual human troublemakers while everyone else attempts to look innocent. Some of us have dealt with that problem in real life, without the benefit of a leaderboard.

A demo that attracted attention

Funcore and its publisher say the game’s demo exceeded one million downloads around October’s Steam Next Fest and topped the event’s player-count chart. Those are publisher-reported figures rather than independently audited numbers, but they indicate the peculiar school-day premise has found an audience.

Classrooms include different layouts and interactive distractions, while consumable gadgets and changing circumstances are intended to give each round some variety. This is a multiplayer-only game, so a solo run after school won’t provide the same experience.

What we’d like to find out

There’s a good party-game idea here, provided the teacher has enough tools to keep the round interesting and the students enough room to be inventive. We’re interested in whether the balance holds when a full group learns the tricks.

We haven’t reviewed the game, and the publisher’s player-count and match-size claims should be distinguished from our own testing. A press-code offer is available, which may let us investigate properly later.
