The Escapists: The 5 best tips

Jail abuse isn't easy in The Escapists, but with these tips, you're pretty much free.

The Escapists Tip 1: Take your time and look around

Of course, you want to leave the prison as soon as possible, but give yourself a few days before planning your escape.
Above all, you should get to know the complex and learn more about its strengths and weaknesses. The time you can use unguarded is also an important factor.
So, at first, follow the routine and just do what the guards expect you to do. You then use this time to spy on the surroundings.

You need tools to break out. Therefore, collect everything that appears useful.
Don't be afraid to own other prisoners. Their duct tape and files are in good hands with you.
Also collect plastic cutlery in the canteen. These tools are not detected by scanners and help you - albeit slowly - to dismantle the floor (spoon), the walls (fork) and fences (knives).

If you want to roam the hallways at night, get a guards uniform.
You can steal them if you do laundry. Just watch out for the scanners. Here you have to put them on briefly to come over.
Alternatively, you can create a disguise yourself by combining a prisoner's uniform with bleach.
Combine the white suit you receive with blue and the uniform is ready.
You should rarely wear the panel during the day as it can still be discovered. At night it is relatively safe to crawl through the corridors in your uniform.

The guards quickly discover if something is wrong in the prison. So wipe your tracks.
Damaged walls can be covered with a poster, which you can make from duct tape and a magazine.
If you want to work on your escape at night and leave your bed for this, you need a dummy in bed. To do this, steal two pillows from other prisoners and combine them with bed linen.
You also have to be careful with ventilation shafts. Here you can build covers from toilet paper rolls and glue. Note, however, that these will break over time if you regularly remove and reinsert them.

In general, you should pay attention to what your fellow prisoners want from you or offer you.
Some offer things for sale, others need help.
That being said, you can talk to them and gain allies over time.
If you have another prisoner on your side, they may help you escape.
