Build your Escape: A beginner's guide 

JA Studios' Build your Escape is set inside a jail where prisoners must find their way out via a large vent. The vent connects the cell to the exit and must be built using panels scattered around the prison. Within a short interval, the guard starts patrolling, and players must hide from him to save their progress. If knocked out, teammates can revive one another to continue progressing.

This Roblox guide explains how to play Build your Escape without being caught.

Starting Build your Escape guide

Players spawn into a jail lobby where they can enter one of three cells. Here is some information you must know before making your escape:

• Cell: The cell has a bed with a ladder; it helps you climb up and reach the vent. Without a vent platform, you'll drop on the map and must search for panels. The cell can be opened from the outside to enter and place your panels.
• Prison: The guard can only wander here and cannot enter your cell. Across the prison, there are hiding spots, i.e., almirahs, washroom cabins, and narrow spaces. Players can use them to hide whenever the guard is active.
• Panels: Panels are spread across the prison, but not in the cell. You can collect as many as possible. To place them, enter the cell and walk through the vent. If knocked out by the guard, all your panels will disappear from the vent.
• Guard: Guards patrol for 30 seconds – players must remain hidden. To collect panels, gamers have 40 seconds in the prison. The player closest to the guard gets targeted first.
• Stats: Playing games will increase your stats for escapes, revives done, panels fixed, and knockdowns. With enough stats, you can unlock and assume several titles in the game.

Guards are not the only enemy in the game; your speed is, too. Here are some tips to outrun them and create your path:

• Check for all the possible hiding spots on the map. Crawl into the pet house or hide behind the doors.
• Keep an eye on the timer to track the guard.
• Always check if you have enough time before travelling to unsafe locations for panels.
• You can unlock gears and unique titles by progressing in the game.
• Avoid getting caught since it resets all your progress in the vent construction.
• Prioritize reviving your teammates to avoid rebuilding the vent and progress faster.
• As time passes, guards become faster and more furious.
