About this game

Late for School is a cozy, kid-friendly driving game where you play as a brand-new school bus driver trying to get every student to class on time. Each day presents a new challenges, collectibles, and surprises.

Your goal is to pick up kids, avoid obstacles, collect lost items, and make it to school before the bell rings. But the suburbs, farms, downtown streets and special event days all introduce new twists.

  • Earn a “Bus Badge” for completing each day's route.

Collect Lost Items
