Prison Escape Dig Run combines digging mechanics with tactical puzzle solving. Use your finger to clear away soil and create a safe path for your team of prisoners. You’ll need to navigate around underground obstacles, dodge security spotlights, and collect hidden keys to unlock the final gate. With hundreds of levels and a quirky art style, it’s a race for freedom!

71/100

Prison Escape Dig Run is a fun, lighthearted take on the 'digging' genre. It reminds me of 'Where's My Water?' but with a focus on escaping a prison instead of plumbing. The puzzles are cleverly designed, often requiring you to lead your group of prisoners through narrow tunnels while avoiding guards and pitfalls.

The 'run' portion of the game adds a nice sense of urgency, especially when the sirens start blaring. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and the ragdoll physics of the prisoners can be quite funny when they fall into a trap. It's a solid, casual puzzle game that's perfect for killing time without requiring too much heavy lifting from your brain.

Really good game
Thu Oct 02 2025 Mr Quacky Duck

This game is so fun not what you think you get water bottles from trading stuff that you dig up and then, with the water bottles, you can buy food better backpack and shovel

Extremely buggy too many ads.
Tue Sep 16 2025 Sgt_Snuggles

I would have liked the game but unfortunately there’s too many bugs…. If you are caught then I can’t knock on the door to get guard’s attention and the door stays open. Wayyyy too many ads. I shouldn’t have to watch an ad every minute or after speaking to other prisoners. Or if I close the game for a 5 second and open it another ad…. Has potential to be a fun game but not at this time.

Needs to add an compass for the next update

Hey guys. Would you mind adding a compass so that way it would be easier for me and other players to head which direction of the exit of the prison. Thanks

I was in the room where I had to dig out with the shovel but I was exploring walked into the door now I’m just stuck falling forever

Game is not how it appears on TikTok

This game is so laggy because turning the phone sideways to play the game is so difficult. I’d rather play the game while holding the phone straight makes it easier.

I found the exit and it keeps telling me I was caught outside of my cell when the guard isn’t supposed to come for another minute and thirty seconds

Garbage

When you reach the exit ladder on the back right of the wall it says you’ve been caught when you try to escape

Can’t win

I dug all the way until the exit and when you tap the ladder you get caught by the guards. Waste of about 8 hours of my life.
