Sonic's Schoolhouse - PC Game

A wildly unique entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe, Sonic’s Schoolhouse transforms high-speed platforming into an educational playground of numbers, letters, and unexpected chaos. Released during the experimental era of ‘90s PC edutainment, this title places players inside a vibrant, first-person school where learning meets the unmistakable attitude of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Rather than racing through loops, you’ll explore colorful hallways, solve basic math and spelling challenges, and interact with a cast of quirky characters—all while Sonic cheers you on.
