Worst Class Ever, a new asymmetric multiplayer party game developed by Funcore Games and published by 2P Games, officially launched on PC through Steam on November 10, 2026. The game challenges players to either disrupt classroom activities as mischievous students or maintain order as a strict teacher.
The release follows a successful appearance at October’s Steam Next Fest, where the developers reported more than one million demo downloads and a No. 1 ranking on the event’s player-count chart.
Worst Class Ever Brings Classroom Chaos to Steam
Developed by independent studio Funcore Games, Worst Class Ever transforms familiar school experiences into a competitive multiplayer game built around pranks, deception, and quick decision-making.
Players enter interactive classrooms filled with ordinary school supplies, hiding places, and opportunities to cause trouble.
The central objective depends on which side players choose.
Students attempt to disrupt lessons, complete mischievous activities, and avoid detection. Meanwhile, the teacher must identify troublemakers and prevent the classroom from descending into chaos.
The game supports between two and eight players, allowing friends to compete in matches featuring one teacher and up to seven students.
Asymmetric Multiplayer Gameplay Pits Students Against Teachers
The game’s primary mode follows a 1v7 asymmetric multiplayer structure, creating different objectives for the teacher and student teams.
Students can throw objects, pass notes, secretly eat snacks, and perform other disruptive actions while attempting to remain unnoticed.
The teacher must monitor the classroom, identify suspicious behavior, and catch students breaking the rules.
Students Can Blend In With NPC Classmates
One of the game’s main mechanics allows student players to disguise their behavior by blending in with computer-controlled classmates.
By copying the movements and actions of non-player characters, students can make it harder for the teacher to determine who is responsible for classroom disruptions.
Players can also sneak between desks, move around the classroom, and use environmental objects to distract opponents.
The teacher faces an additional challenge because incorrectly identifying a student reduces stamina.
However, teachers can restore stamina by writing on the blackboard, introducing a resource-management element to the competition.
Developers Draw Inspiration From School-Day Memories
Funcore Games said the concept emerged from nostalgic memories of classroom experiences.
“It instantly evoked fond, nostalgic memories of our school days, inspiring us to transform the concept into a multiplayer experience. We reimagined it as a 1v7 asymmetric party game, where one player takes on the role of a strict teacher while up to seven others play mischievous students. This brings the familiar thrill of classroom mischief to life in a fun, lighthearted game of cat-and-mouse.”
The studio designed the experience around accessible controls, unpredictable interactions, and competitive scoring.
At the end of each round, players receive their results, allowing them to compare performances and determine who caused the most disruption.
