Kindergarten 3
Kindergarten 3 continues the twisted and absurd saga of a school day gone completely wrong. This time, you’re back in class on a Wednesday, and everything is stranger than ever. From green slime seeping through the floor to teachers acting suspiciously polite, it’s clear that something isn’t right. You play as the silent child once again, caught in a tangled web of bizarre events, dangerous classmates, and unpredictable quests—all packed into one school day.
The tone is a mix of dark humor, surreal horror, and clever puzzle design. While the mechanics feel familiar, the story expands the Kindergarten universe in strange new directions.
Characters With Secrets
The game features a large and lively cast, many of whom return from previous games. Each character has their own quirks, motivations, and personal storylines that unfold across different missions.
Main characters include:
- Kris – Your quiet, player-controlled character.
- Nugget – Still obsessed with tunnels and goo.
- Susie, Cindy, Monty, Carla, and Felix – Each with unique missions and personalities.
- Ms. Lovelett, the Janitor, the Nurse, Principal Regis – Adults who are just as strange as the kids.
- No-name creatures and plush Monstermon – Hidden throughout the school for those who explore.
Every interaction counts. Talking to the right person at the right time—or choosing not to—can dramatically change how the day unfolds.
How Quests Work
Missions are the core of the game. Each major character offers a storyline that acts like a puzzle, often requiring multiple steps, item combinations, or dialogue sequences.
Notable quest titles include:
- The Show Must Go On – Help direct a school play with unusual casting.
- The Grate Escape – Use vents and tools to bypass restricted areas.
- Cold Blooded Killer – Navigate the school’s animal-related hazards.
- Garden of Emmy – Protect (or sabotage) an overgrown garden.
- Nugget-o and Lily-et – Assist with Nugget’s ongoing obsession with goo.
- What Happened on Monday? – Uncover secrets from the missing school day.
Each mission builds on the last, often requiring items or choices from previous quests to unlock new paths. There’s no “wrong” order, but some quests unlock helpful items for later use.
Achievements, Collectibles, and Secrets
Like previous entries, Kindergarten 3 is full of hidden content. You can earn Steam achievements, collect Monstermon plushies, and discover secret endings.
Here’s what to look out for:
- 21 Achievements — Linked to quest completion, decisions, and optional scenes.
- 50 Monstermon Plushies — Found through exploration, choices, and puzzles.
- Codes from past games — Entering specific codes in-game unlocks secret content.
- Alternate Endings — Based on your actions, including how you treat certain characters.
Collecting everything requires multiple playthroughs, creative thinking, and attention to detail. Completionists will find plenty to dig into.
Tips for Surviving the Day
To get the most out of your time in Kindergarten 3, consider these helpful strategies:
- Talk to everyone twice – Some dialogue changes after key events.
- Follow item chains – Certain quests require items that are only available after others.
- Don’t rush – Many outcomes rely on small choices and timing.
- Replay earlier days – You’ll unlock new routes and alternate dialogue on repeat attempts.
- Save often – Mistakes can be fatal, and checkpoints help avoid repetition.
The game encourages experimentation. Failing a mission often teaches you more than succeeding on the first try.
