Strategies / Ways To Escape[edit | edit source]

There are many ways to escape Center Perks, as this is the easiest prison in The Escapists.

Prison Takeover (Fastest Known Escape)[edit | edit source]

This is the fastest legitimate method of escaping Center Perks. The world record time is 29 seconds. (video)

Get out of the bed straight away, then hit Q on as many inmates as possible. Three friends will be recommended for the start. If you cannot three inmates at the beginning, exit and restart.
Attend Rollcall. Get all other inmates wherever possible to follow you.
Once the guards are at Rollcall, get everyone to attack the first guard and the second guard. (Note that this will trigger lockdown.) When the third guard shows up, beat him up too.
This is usually where it's completely RNG, but once the fourth guard shows up, get everyone to attack it. Once you get the warden note, go through the top entrance doors and use that to get out. You will have to be fast with it because if a guard gets up, you will be sniped and the takeover will fail.

Tip: Usually the game will play a sound effect for those who are able to follow you if you can't directly get to them. You can get the inmate from straight down right away which will follow you early for some weird reason.

No Prison Takeover[edit | edit source]

Doing no takeover is usually more consistent and requires less RNG. The fastest time without a prison takeover is 1m, 20s. (video)

Once your cell unlocks, start searching desks. Also, there is a glitch to search other desks from the same cell. All you need to do is click while the 'searching' bar is up. It is pretty convenient and saves a lot of time.
You will need a roll of duct tape. A file will save time, but a plastic knife also works.
Use the infinite durability glitch on your file / plastic knife.
1. To do this, press the esc key, and click the profile button at the same time until it glitches. May require multiple attempts.
2. Click into your desk and put a comb shiv in.
3. Click out of it and back in. Take the comb shiv out of your desk. The menu should be glitched with yellow keys.
4. Go to your profile then equip the weapon.
5. Once your item disappears, you'll know if you've done it correctly.
Gather as much people as possible to attack the 3rd guard which is the guard that has the entrance key. You can use this to start cutting early. If you cannot get a lot of people, just get someone knocked out and tie them, however you'll have to wait for the free period to start.
Carry the knocked guard/inmate to the fence.
Once you start cutting, pick up the tied guard/inmate immediately. You will not get sniped if you are fast enough. Repeat this step until the fence breaks.
As soon as the fence breaks, start moving. If you are too slow you will be placed in solitary.

Glitchless[edit | edit source]

Glitchless strategies are the slowest, but you have a couple of options.

Classic Strategy:[edit | edit source]

Attend roll call to avoid triggering a lockdown.
Gather four plastic forks.
Start chipping the bottom wall near the entrance doors.
Stop chipping whenever it hits 4%
Use this time to search desks for two files and any food that might speed up the process.
Use the laundry room to take a guard outfit.
At lights out, place a bed dummy, and put on the guard outfit.
Chip the wall and put the wall block back to avoid being placed in solitary.
Move down and start cutting the fence.

Entrance Key Use:[edit | edit source]

Label the third guard's name to something like 'Entrance' or '333333'. This is necessary as the key pattern is always the same.
Attend roll call to avoid triggering a lockdown.
Search desks individually for stuff to make molten plastic, wad of putty, cutters, or even molten chocolate if you're lucky enough.
Train your strength and intellect to knockout the guard and get a key mold.
Knockout the third guard that has the entrance key.
Take his guard outfit and key. Craft the mold,
