The Escapists Guide

Escaping Santa's Sweatshop! for The Escapists

Escaping Santa’s Sweatshop!

Overview

The prison just came out as free DLC, so you have no reason not to get it.

The concept

There is a tree at the top of the map. You need to place 4 items on it in a specific order to escape. They are:

The Tinsel

This is the first item you will need. The crafting recipe goes as follows:
Glitter + Toilet Paper + Super Glue = Tinsel
Glitter can be found in a chest with a Christmas tree decoration on it. This box is found in a room to the left of the Gym. Getting to this room is simple. Just chip through the wall.

The Fairy Lights

This one requires setup. The crafting recipe is:
Wire + Battery + Bulbs = Fairy Lights
Here’s my setup:
Chip a hole in the right-side wall in the room above the canteen. Put a poster there. Also, have a hole with a poster in your cell. You will also need:
– Makeshift cutters / cutting floss
– A fake fence
Now, at night:
Make sure you are not getting searched, and that you have a bed dummy. Take your cutting tool and fake fence, turn off the generator, run to the top left, and cut a hole in the fence. The bulbs should be in that box. When you leave, be sure to put down the fake fence. Be careful sneaking back to your cell.

Presents

This one requires 3 difficult items to obtain. They are:
Wrapping paper + Sticky tape + (A toy made with a Chisel and a Wooden block) = Presents
2 items can be obtained the same way. Get an elf guard’s outfit. You see those blue locks? You walk through them when you wear a guard’s outfit. If you are weak, use a cracker to knock them out. It’s just like hot chocolate. The first item is in a chest in a utility closet, to the top right of the “Tree room”. The second is in the guard’s quarters. This is located to the left of the toymaker job. The third is harder to get. It is, however, easy if you have the toymaker job. Take a wooden block and chisel from the wood chest, and craft a toy with them(it is random). Craft all 3 together, and you get presents!

The Lever

The Candy cane lever is the easiest. It is in the generator room. When you put this in it’s slot, the wall to the left should open up. Just go that way.

Other achievements

There should still be 2 achievements left. They are:
Getting your hands dirty – Complete the manure control job
Santa’s lap – Attend a prison visit(to the left of roll call. You don’t even need to stay for the whole talk!)

Helpful tips

1. The only way to raise your intellect is to use the computer in the restricted area.
2. About the jobs:
Manure control is like Gardener/Janitor
Toymaker is like Woodshop(but with 2 items)
Taskmaster is like Mailman
Letter organiser is like Deliveries
