Cell Desks

Due to the Cameras located in the cell rooms, guards will be alerted if you search a desk that is not your own. To combat this, you can either:

• Wear a Guard Outfit: obtained by crafting or from looting an unconscious guard.
• Move all the desks into the adjacent room below the bathroom. Because the desks are out of sight from the camera, you can freely search with no heat level. Blocking the red door is no problem, the guards will still use them and climb over/through the desks.
• Jam the camera by using a Roll of Duct Tape, which will consume the tape and temporarily disable the camera.
• Switch off the generator, since it doesn't require any keys and anyone can access it.
• Search them from the side when the cameras are facing away so they do not notice.

Escape Plans

• Perimeter Breakout
• Speed McQueen (The Motorcycle scene is a Reference to the 1963 Film The Great Escape).
• Glide To Victory (Probably based on a planned escape of Colditz Castle in WW2)

Ways To Escape

In the K.A.P.O.W. Camp there are 3 possible ways to escape.

Perimeter Breakout

Preparation:

• Get 60 Intellect.
• Obtain a pair of Flimsy Cutters with two File and a Roll of Duct Tape. Lightweight Cutters tier or higher is recommended.
• Optionally, obtain a Contraband Pouch.
• Obtain an outfit. This may be Infirmary Outfit or a Guard Outfit.
• Collect two Pillow and a Bed Sheet to craft a Bed Dummy.
• Obtain a Wad of Putty and Molten Plastic to create a Plastic Key or Plastic Key.

The Escape:

After placing the Bed Dummy in your cell, check in to Evening Roll Call.

Rush to the generator room. You may use the northeastern passage if you do not have a Contraband Pouch.

When Lights Out hits, turn off the generator and run through the red or purple door and through the Contraband Detector south of the meal hall and turn south and then south-east. Cut through the two fences.

Congratulations, you are free!

Speed McQueen

This escape is a singleplayer only escape.

Preparation:

• Get 40 Intellect.
• Search or buy 1x Makeshift Ladder. (Many inmates Carry Paint. beat them up to get Paint.)
• Search or buy 1x Screwdriver, 1x Can of Soda, 1x Sugar Mint (commonly found on guards).
• Craft 1x Makeshift Rocket Thruster.
• Locate the room with the motorcycle in the South-West side of the prison.
• If you forgot a component, there is no need to panic. Take the desk and put it under the vent and you can get out. Guards do not seem to patrol the room, so it should be safe so long as you do not lure a guard in.

The Escape:

• Take the Makeshift Rocket Thruster, the Screwdriver, and the Makeshift Ladder to the room north of the motorcycle and west of the Job office.
• Place the Makeshift Ladder below the vent.
• Climb up your ladder (like you do when you climb a desk) and unscrew the vent.
• Enter the vent and unscrew the second vent cover that leads to the room south of the Makeshift ladder.
• Equip the Makeshift Rocket Thruster on the motorcycle.
• Escape!

Note: If you want visual help on how to do this, check out the video below.

Glide To Victory

This escape is a multiplayer only escape

Preparation:

• Get 60 Intellect.
• Steal 2x Bed Sheets.
• Search or buy 1x Length of Rope, 4x Dowel (this is best bought from inmates), 3x Roll of Duct Tape, x1 Circuit Board, x1 Wire, x1 Lighter and x1 Comb or Toothbrush.
• Craft 1x Molten Plastic.
• Craft 1x Glider Skin, 2x Half Frame of Glider.
• Craft 2x Sturdy Pickaxe (at least the sturdy version of them).
• Take Circuit Board and Wire and locate the guard with the Cyan Keycard. He is the one that usually stands in the place just outside the solitary confinement when not on patrol.
• Knock out the guard and craft Cyan Keycard Mould. Don't forget to put original Cyan Keycard back to guard's inventory or flush it down the toilet.
• Craft the Fake Cyan Keycard.
• Optional: Search and grab some energy drinks or food to replenish your energy when breaking down a long wall. Adrenaline Shot is recommended, as there are a lot of tiles to destroy.

The Escape:

• Take all of your items.
• Run to the library next to the kitchen and head up the stairs.
• Use your Fake Cyan Keycard on the cyan keycard lock which is located on the wall from the right and let the second player come in.
• Head up the stairs again and make your way to the south east part of the roof where you have the wooden platform.
• Equip all of your glider parts one by one and put them on the platform.
• Use your Sturdy Pickaxes on the eastern wall and break all the damaged pieces. *Be careful not to hit the second player off as it will initiate lockdown!*
• Escape!

Alternative Method:

Find 3x Tin of Paint and craft into Makeshift Ladder. Obtain a Screwdriver and 2x File.

Go to the room north of the upstairs library (take the stairs next to the generator), place the Makeshift Ladder under the vent, and screw upwards.

Enter the vent, then turn to the left, cut through the fence and screw upwards again. You are now in the building chamber!

Warning: Once you are in, you will not be able to get out. Bring all materials necessary to escape in 1 go (or send 1 person up and the others to fetch items, as the cyan keycard door can be opened from the inside.)

Trivia

• Upon entering, during the cutscenes where the warden gives you the tour, he says that the 3rd floor is haunted. He may just be saying that because this is actually the way of the "Glide to Victory" escape.
• This Prison is a reference to Prisoner of War Camps in WW2. Notably, the Glide to Victory escape is inspired by a real-life plan to escape Colditz Castle, a German camp, via a glider. Its name is a pun on Prisoner of War, which is commonly abbreviated as POW, thus forming the English onomatopoeia from which you can derive "kapow".
