Three ways out of the cell block

Dig to Escape is a prison break on Roblox — free, 14 inmates a server, closing in on 600 million visits. Every run starts the same: a cell, a spoon, a soft floor under the carpet, and a guard who walks the halls at night. What changes is which escape you are working toward.

Escape route	Entry cost	Typical clear	Badge holders (Oct 2026)
Mineshaft ending	150 Rolls of tools	30–60 min	~13.9M
Janitor ending	200 Rolls (keycard)	20–40 min	~1.47M
Rooftops ending	300 Rolls (card + crowbar)	30–60 min	~548K

The mineshaft is the route the game nudges you down: dig, sell, upgrade, repeat until you outrun the guard through the tunnel below. The other two are quicker once you can shop for them — a keycard opens the janitor route, and a crowbar gets you up to the roof.

The loop, in one paragraph

Dig the floor, sell what it turns up to the seller inmate for Rolls — the toilet-paper currency — and spend them on the next shovel before the next layer. Top up energy with trader food and the free daily lunch, and shut your cell door before the guard's night rounds. That loop is the whole early game.

Before your first dig

Door first, digging second. At night, close your own cell door and stay behind it — runs end in the halls.
Lunch is free. One meal a day at the cafeteria refills your energy; spend energy before you go.
The first 25 Rolls belong to the shovel. It more than doubles your speed on the second layer.
