Every alert in a day, from roll call and jobs to the RETURN TO CELLS countdown and LOCKDOWN.
ROLL CALL
The cell door opens and the day begins; the recorded run spent this block on library book sorting.
LUNCH
Cafeteria time, where the potato station's Peel potatoes 5/5 job pays per completed round.
YARD TIME
Yard access: litter pickup pays 20 cash for 8/8, and OJ sells tools at cell 13.
RECREATION TIME
A free block the recorded run used to buy the 25-cash Screwdriver from OJ.
RETURN TO CELLS
A countdown back to your cell; the run sawed the window bars inside it.
LOCKDOWN
The cell door locks; with the bars gone, the run climbed out the window toward the workshop.
When the day ends, the screen cuts to a Day 2 title and the routine restarts with ROLL CALL, so the same cycle repeats.

Unscrew the bolts, move the toilet aside and drop into the tunnel hidden under your cell.
Step 1
Return to your cell with a Screwdriver
The interaction happens at your own toilet, and the Screwdriver costs 25 cash from OJ.
Step 2
Crouch at the toilet base
Position yourself low against the base of the toilet.
Step 3
Choose Unscrew
Use the Screwdriver to remove the bolts holding the toilet in place.
Step 4
Choose Move aside
The toilet shifts and reveals a vertical tunnel opening; jump in with the Power Drill and hold the left mouse button to drill.
What moves the suspicion meter and how to work the escape without leaving your permitted area.
Stay in your permitted area
Leaving the area is the clearest cause the game shows for suspicion climbing, including a climb to the top bunk.
Keep your task under the warning
The objective panel always opens with Don't get suspicious and then names the current task, such as Unscrew the toilet.
Treat a high number as a warning
In one session a player with high suspicion died after being out of area; no dangerous threshold is established, so get back in area rather than testing the meter.
What changes between playing alone and teaming up with up to 3 friends, and what stays the same.
| What you are comparing | Solo | With friends |
|---|---|---|
| Who takes part | You | You and up to 3 friends |
| Escape route | Prison jobs, tools from OJ's Deals, hide your tools, move the toilet and dig out | Same as solo |
| Security to manage | Roll call, guards, CCTV and suspicion | Same as solo |
| Day and night | Act normal by day, plan the escape by night | Same as solo |
