Four players. Twelve exams. Absolutely zero academic integrity.
Remember those nightmares about showing up to an exam completely unprepared? Well, Finals Week takes that anxiety, adds three equally irresponsible friends, and turns the whole thing into a multiplayer disaster.
Developed by DESTINYbit and published by Pretty Soon, Finals Week officially launched on Steam today, October 29, 2026.
This chaotic co-op cheating simulator challenges up to four players to survive a series of increasingly difficult exams by doing just about anything except studying.
And honestly? We respect the commitment to making terrible decisions.
Finals Week Turns Cheating Into a Multiplayer Experience
Set inside a 1990s-style school, Finals Week puts players in the shoes of students who apparently skipped every study session imaginable.
Your objective is simple: pass your exams without getting caught cheating.
The execution? Not so simple.
Across 12 different exams, players must work together to gather answers, communicate discreetly, and outsmart an increasingly suspicious Professor.
You can steal answers from classmates, search textbooks, look up information online, and pass clues between teammates.
Of course, the Professor isn’t exactly oblivious.
And with every exam, things become increasingly difficult.
Four-Player Co-op Makes Everything Worse
Finals Week supports one to four players, making teamwork essential to surviving the classroom.
Players can communicate using proximity voice chat, cellphones, and walkie-talkies to coordinate their questionable academic strategies.
But there’s a catch.
The Professor can hear you, too.
So if your friend starts loudly announcing the answer to question seven while the teacher is standing nearby, congratulations. You’ve found the weakest link in your cheating operation.
And let’s be realistic, every friend group has one.
The Professor Is Not Playing Around
The Professor is more than just an obstacle standing at the front of the classroom.
As players progress through the game’s 12 exams, the teacher becomes increasingly suspicious, introducing tougher restrictions and forcing everyone to adapt.
The Professor patrols the classroom, listens for suspicious conversations, and throws erasers with alarming accuracy.
Get caught, and you could find yourself gagged, tied up, knocked unconscious, or otherwise punished in ridiculous ways that make passing your exams even harder.
Apparently, detention was too reasonable.
Cheat With Whatever You Can Find
One of the most entertaining aspects of Finals Week is its collection of unconventional cheating tools.
Players can use:
- Cellphones and walkie-talkies to exchange answers
- Binoculars to spy on classmates
- Textbooks and hidden notes to find information
- Paper balls to create distractions
- A tranquilizer blowgun, because apparently we’ve abandoned all sense of proportion
You can also write answers on paper, desks, walls, and even your friends’ faces.
Because when the pressure is on, apparently the entire school becomes a cheat sheet.
There’s More to School Than Exams
When you’re not desperately trying to pass another test, Finals Week also lets players explore the school and cause trouble outside the classroom.
You can discover secret passages, hang out in the halls, play basketball, and unlock cosmetic customization options.
Different outfits, hairstyles, and colors let players personalize their characters before returning to their regularly scheduled academic misconduct.
It’s the full school experience.
Minus the actual learning.

The Ultimate Group Project Gone Wrong
Cooperative games are at their best when a simple objective spirals into absolute nonsense.
And Finals Week seems built specifically for those moments.
Between increasingly suspicious teachers, questionable cheating strategies, and friends who absolutely cannot keep their voices down, there’s plenty of potential for hilarious multiplayer disasters.
Just remember, if somebody gets caught, you definitely didn’t know them.
Finals Week is available now on Steam.
Which friend are you in this classroom: the mastermind, the lookout, the person copying answers, or the one getting everybody caught?
