Escaping the Prison

Escaping the Prison is a wildly unique adventure puzzle game in which you aim to escape from prison! After being thrown in a prison cell, you must use anything and everything at your disposal to escape: teleporters, anti-gravity equipment, toilet plungers—nothing is off limits in your attempt to escape! But be careful because one wrong move or a split-second hesitation could send you right back to your cell—or worse!

How to Play

Press the Play button on this page and Escaping the Prison loads directly in your browser — free, with nothing to install.

The game begins with Henry Stickman, your character, in a lonely prison guarded by taunting security who brings you a package. This is where the theme of the game begins—choice. It is a puzzle game, so depending on the choices you make, your next step may or may not lead you to a true chance at escape. All the while, you get to know your character through trial scenes and learn about the bank robber that got you in jail in the first place.

The initial package contains a cake with a few potential items hidden inside—you can choose what's in the box! Choose from an energy drink, a teleporter, and a cell phone, and see what scenarios unfold, considering your choice.

The power of choice

You don't only get choices to help you escape from prison; in some scenarios, you also get to choose how your trial unfolds. The game is layered, so what you see is by no means a reflection of linear time.

Choose the Cell Phone

This scenario gives Henry Stickman even more choices to make. He uses the cell phone to call his attorney and from them another scenario in court unfolds where you must choose the winning piece of evidence.

Choose evidence presented at trial, such as a money bag your character hid in, a shovel, a mysterious device, a videotape of security footage, a letter from the detective, or bank floor plans. What should you choose? Will it free Stickman?

There is only one way to find out.

Choose the NrG Drink

Henry escapes from prison in this scenario, but at a great expense. The energy drink gives him strength enough to literally bend bars to escape, but on his way out, he suffers a heart attack and dies.

Choose the Teleporter

Henry does escape from prison using the teleporter. He is propelled outside of prison, but unfortunately, he does die in this scenario as the teleporter puts him right in the bull's eye view of a firing range where he is the prime target.

We won't spell out all the scenarios for you because part of the fun is actually seeing the consequences of your choice. So go ahead and choose!
