Introduction
The Escapists is a thrilling prison escape simulation that gives you the freedom to craft your own daring escape plan — by any means necessary. After landing yourself in yet another prison, you’ll need to put your wits and resourcefulness to the test to break free. Whether you choose to start a riot, tunnel your way out, or even steal a guard’s uniform to blend in with your captors, the possibilities are endless.
In this open-ended prison sandbox, you’ll need to craft and combine over 185 unique items to help you execute the perfect escape. But life behind bars isn’t simple. You’ll have to adhere to strict prison routines, attend roll calls, work a prison job, and hide your stolen items from the ever-watchful guards. One wrong move could send you straight to solitary, so strategy and timing are key.
With 10 fully operational prisons, each with its own set of challenges, routines, and guards, you’ll need to think outside the box to make your escape. The game's humorously quirky inmates and guards will keep you on your toes, and their unique personalities may even help or hinder your progress.
