Worst Class EverPlaying Worst Class Ever with friends works across both online Steam lobbies and local networks: Demo 0.1.6 introduced the ability to invite Steam friends directly through the in-game phone, while the Steam store and full-release announcements confirm LAN mode, LAN PvP, and LAN Co-op support.
Added in Demo 0.1.6 on 16 Oct 2026 to invite Steam friends via the student phone
Pledged in the 27 Oct 2026 full-game announcement alongside smoother server performance
Confirmed in the official Steam store category tags for App 5175310
1 Teacher vs 5 Students on the store page; rises to 8 players per match with custom rooms
Because Worst Class Ever is built around asymmetrical classroom mind games—where human students pretend to be NPC classmates to fool a human teacher—playing in a private friend group or dorm LAN changes how every prank plays out.
In the 16 Oct 2026 update ('Demo 0.1.6 Update Announcement'), Funcore Games integrated Steam party invitations directly into the student's in-game phone. Players can open the phone interface to invite Steam friends without tabbing out to the desktop overlay.
The English Steam store metadata lists both Online PvP / Co-op and LAN PvP / LAN Co-op categories. In the 27 Oct 2026 full-release announcement, the developer explicitly pledged smoother server performance and LAN mode support for local network sessions.
If your friend group has fewer than six players, Demo 0.1.9 automatically lowers the Mischief Points required to win and adjusts item spawns for the smaller student count. If you have a larger group at launch, full-release customizable rooms support up to 8 players per match and 20 adjustable settings.

Whether you are queuing with three friends online or setting up an eight-player custom room on November 10, understanding how the lobby rules adapt helps keep matches close.
When inviting two or three Steam friends via the in-game phone, you do not need to wait for random fill players to have a balanced match. Thanks to the Demo 0.1.9 scaling rules, the Mischief Points required to win drop proportionally when fewer students are in the match.
In the full version, customizable rooms allow up to 8 players per match and let the host change the number of teachers among the 20 room settings—ideal when a seven- or eight-friend party wants two teachers patrolling the 4th-floor Computer Lab and hallway together.
Both Minimum and Recommended PC specifications on the Steam store require a broadband Internet connection for online Steam lobbies, while LAN mode provides direct local network connectivity.
