Make a plan to escape from the prison and watch out from the gaurds. Draw the escape route and help the prisoners to escape.So what’s the plan, PROFESSOR?

How to play Prison Escape Plan

Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing

Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Prison Escape Plan does not — it is playable from the first second. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
