First session
Read the panel before you explore — After the arrest cutscene you wake in Cell 13. The top-right objective leads with Don't get suspicious and then names the task. The top-centre clock names the day, room, and alert. Cash is bottom left. Suspicion is a percentage at bottom centre.
Earn before you shop — Deliver the library books the desk guard requests. Each delivered book paid 10 cash in the recorded run. Peel potatoes at lunch and clear eight pieces of yard litter for 20 cash. Press E on OJ, the orange-jumpsuit NPC, and buy only what his menu lists at a price your counter covers.
Window, then drill, then toilet — In the recorded route the Saw cuts your window bars during RETURN TO CELLS. During LOCKDOWN you climb out, grab transport cash, and take the free Power Drill from the hazard-striped workshop. Crouch at the toilet, choose Unscrew, choose Move aside, jump in, and hold the left mouse button to drill.
Stop when the facts stop — That drill cut to a Day 2 title. No exit was shown. No code string is confirmed. Private servers were off in a November 6, 2026 snapshot. If OJ's prices differ from 110 and 25, follow the menu on your screen. The full steps are in the guide index.
Follow the schedule on the HUD. Work the library, lunch, and yard jobs for cash, buy the Saw and Screwdriver from OJ when your balance covers the prices on his menu, saw the window bars during RETURN TO CELLS, and use LOCKDOWN to reach the workshop. The recorded route then opens the toilet and drills. It cut to a Day 2 title instead of showing a finished escape.
How much cash do the Saw and Screwdriver cost?
In the HUD-labeled run, OJ at cell 13 sold the Saw for 110 cash and the Screwdriver for 25 cash. The Power Drill in that run was free on a workshop bench. Another account lists different digging tools and a different cell for OJ. Read the live OJ's Deals menu before you spend.
Are there working codes?
No code string is listed as active or expired. The in-game entry box has not been confirmed. RoDark Studios uses its Discord and Roblox community for reward-code news. Copy only a string the studio actually posts, and only if the game shows a place to enter it.
Can I play with friends or on a private server?
The official description says you can play solo or team up with up to 3 friends. Public server capacity in API snapshots is 30 players, which is not a 30-person escape party. On November 6, 2026, player-created private servers were off for this experience. Check the Servers section on the Roblox page before you budget Robux for one.
Does drilling on day 1 finish the escape?
Not in the recorded run. After the player drilled the dirt under the toilet, the screen cut to a Day 2 title and the prison routine started again. No tunnel exit or escape confirmation was shown. The official description also does not publish a fixed 13-day calendar or a secret ending.
