Prison escape mini-game in BitLife

There are many mini-games in BitLife and mastering them lets you get out of many rocky situations like prisons. Here’s a guide to escaping every prison in BitLife.

Considering how BitLife aims to replicate a ton of real-life elements, it is no surprise that doing crimes like robbing a train will send you to the in-game prison. In such a situation, you can either spend your years in jail or attempt to get out.

Depending on the severity of your crime, the prisons in BitLife have different security levels. Surprisingly, players have realized that even minimum security prisons are quite challenging, and maximum security prisons are almost impossible to get out of.

If you’re having similar troubles, this guide on how to escape prisons in BitLife will help you out!

Prison escape mini-game in BitLife explained

When you attempt to escape a prison in BitLife, you’re placed inside a grid that marks your location, the police officer’s location, and black prison walls. The in-game instruction suggests that the guard moves twice for every move that you make but the catch is that he first tries to move horizontally.

There are several prison layouts in BitLife. The easiest ones are 4×4 layouts with minimum security while the toughest prisons with maximum security have an 8×8 layout. To escape, you must trap the guard within the walls and reach the exit before he catches you.
