About Prison Escape
Prison Escape is a stealth-and-puzzle platformer: guards on patrol, doors that need keys, and a route out that only exists if you work out the order to do things in.
Getting caught sends you back, so it rewards watching a patrol for a full cycle before moving — patience is genuinely the mechanic.

Prison Escape tips
- Watch a patrol for a full cycle before moving; guessing gets you caught.
- Collect keys before you need them, not when you hit the locked door.
- Hide rather than run when spotted — running keeps you visible.
- Learn the level layout; a second route matters when the first fails.
Prison Escape — questions
How do you avoid the guards?
Watch their patrol for a full cycle first, then move during the window when they're facing away. Guessing at the timing is what gets players caught.
Is it violent?
No — it's stealth and puzzle based rather than combat based.
Does it work on a Chromebook?
Yes — a light 2D game with nothing to install.
