Ways to Escape

There are three ways to escape: one unique singleplayer escape, one unique multiplayer escape, and a perimeter breakout that can be done solo or with friends.

It's A Long Shot [Solo]

Preparation

• Raise Intellect to at least 60.
• Locate 1x Crowbar.
• Locate 1x Timber, 2x Spring, 1x Duct Tape, 1x Hammer, and 1x Coconut.
• Craft a Makeshift Launcher and a Makeshift Helmet.

For finding the items, coconuts will be found in desks (the desk on the roof of the theatre usually has one), and so will springs. In the main warden's desk, there is a guaranteed spring. The warden's desk is located inside the train to the north of the prison inside a room locked with red doors on both sides. It can be accessed by using a ladder to get onto the roof then using another ladder to get back down.

The Escape

• Use the Crowbar to fix the Human Cannon (east of the Big Tent in the middle of the map),
• Interact the cannon with a Makeshift Launcher and a Makeshift Helmet in that order.
• Escape!

Wind Up Merchant [Multiplayer]

Preparation

• Raise your Intellect to 70.
• Locate Circuit Board, Wire, Lighter, Comb or Toothbrush.
• Locate Piece of String, and a Handkerchief.
• Find the Enclosure Keys (they are located at a desk behind a multiplayer door south of the kennels),
• Locate and knock out guards with Red Keycard and Cyan Keycard. Copy their keycards with Circuit Board and Wire, then craft and use Molten Plastic to make Fake Red Keycard and Fake Cyan Keycard.
• Take the Fake Red Keycard onto the roof using the ladder between the mess hall and show tent, then enter the room with the red keycard and get the Chattering Teeth from the desk within.
• Use the Chattering Teeth, Piece of String, and Handkerchief to craft a Wind-Up Mouse,

The Escape

• Take the Wind-Up Mouse, Enclosure Keys, and Fake Cyan Keycard and everyone in your team.
• Head for the elephant lockup on the southwest of the map. Open the front gates with Enclosure Keys, then get behind the elephant cage with the Fake Cyan Keycard and release the mouse into the elephant cage.
