Escaping the Prison is a choose-your-path cartoon puzzle starring a stick figure locked in a cell. A cake turns up with tools hidden inside, and you pick which one to use. The fun comes from seeing what happens next, since many choices lead to silly fails.
How to play
The aim is to get the stick figure out of prison. At key moments the game pauses and shows a set of items or actions with labels, such as a file, a drill, a teleporter or a rocket launcher. Click the one you think will work, then watch the short cartoon that follows.
Some choices move you further along the escape, through the cell block and into other parts of the prison. Others end badly and send you back to try a different option. The developer notes that some moments need quick decisions, so be ready to click when choices appear.
Controls
- Mouse: click to choose an item or action
- Mouse: click Play to start
Tips
- If a choice fails, try a different item next time. Working out which ones fail is part of the puzzle.
- Watch each scene closely, as objects in the background may hint at what to pick later.
- Keep your hand on the mouse during scenes, because some choices need a quick click.
- Do not expect the obvious option to work. The game often rewards the odd or unexpected choice.
Who it's for
Suits players aged about 10 and up who enjoy cartoon humour and trial-and-error puzzles. It is not hard, as you can simply try every option until one works.
