Ways to Escape[ | ]
Perimeter Breakout[ | ]
Method 1:[ | ]
Raise your Intellect to 60.
Acquire the following items: 
Bed Dummy,
Guard Outfit OR Riot Guard OUTFIT, 
Plastic Red Key, 
Crowbar, 
Sturdy Cutters, and optionally an item to replenish Stamina (
Adrenaline Shot is the best.).
At evening roll call, right before Lights Out, place the Bed Dummy in your cell bed.
At Lights Out, don't go to your cell. Equip the Guard Outfit and wait until the "return to cell" bar has disappeared so you know that the snipers are gone. Go to the room on the right side of the map, chip through the wall with the Crowbar, and cut through the fence.
You have escaped!
Method 2:[ | ]
Raise your Intellect to 60.
Acquire the following items: Bed Dummy, Guard Outfit, and 
Sturdy Shovel.
At evening roll call, before Lights Out, place the Bed Dummy in your cell bed.
At Lights Out, don't go to your cell. Equip the Guard Outfit and wait until the "return to cell" bar has disappeared so you know that the snipers are gone. Go to the left side of the map just to the west of Roll Call, dig a tunnel under the fence and out the other side.
You have escaped!
It's not a toy, it's a collectable[ | ]
(Single-player only escape)
Preparation:[ | ]
- Get your intellect up to 60
- Acquire 2x Cardboard, Roll of Duct Tape, Blue Paint, Yellow Paint, and Red Paint.
- Get a Red Key
Craft a cardboard box (2 pieces of cardboard plus duct tape, 50+ Intelligence), then acquire the blue paint, yellow paint, and red paint. Place them on the pedestal in the toy factory (in that order). Upon placing the final item you will be told to access the computer.
The Computer is above the cell block just outside the roll call block and can be easily identified by a large red lock symbol. This computer is locked and the password to it must be obtained to access it.
To do so, go to the warden's office and access the desk which is behind the red door in the building. From this desk, you will obtain the 'laptop password' item. Use this item on the computer and run back to the previously assembled box to escape!
Batteries not included[ | ]
(Multiplayer only escape)[1]
You will need two Fake Keycards for this escape - the red and cyan ones. You also need 70 intellect, and 3 items: Energy Module, Sleigh Chipset and USB Stick.
You can get the Sleigh Chipset via crafting. You will need a Circuit Board, Glue and AI Module. The AI Module is in the desk in the upstairs room near the cells closest to Roll Call. You need the Fake Red Keycard to unlock the door, or you can chip through the wall and cover it with a Poster or Fake Wall Block. There is an electric fence inside, so you need to use the vent in the floor to bypass it. Break through the vent (either with a Screwdriver, which is recommended, or Sturdy Cutters at minimum [verify]), then enter it and cut the fence inside (If you used the Screwdriver to access the vent, 2 Files will get you through the fence). After that, exit the vent by removing the other cover, and access the desk there. You will find the AI Module in that desk. Use it to craft the Sleigh Chipset. You will need 70+ intellect to do this. After that, you must go to the factory's 2nd floor. You will then find a room with a Cyan Keycard door. Using your Fake Cyan Keycard, enter the room and open the desk. You will find a USB stick. Take it, then bring the three items mentioned at top (Energy Module, Sleigh Chipset and USB Stick) to the sleigh. Use the items on the sleigh, in order, and then access the sleigh to escape.
