Great prison!
I got to the library by taping the camera and screwdriving the vent

you dont have to use the vents to get to the library, i just stole a red key for a day and used a crowbar to get into the library room, replacing the wall with a poster, still fairly challenging map tho

Where is the library I didn't find it

Okay, update for @hotwario225:
I took a look at the map from the game. Fun fact, you're not supposed to get to the helicopter from there, there's a vent in the south east area on the second floor. Good luck on that

Bro i just had the worst experience of my entire Escapists 2 life

I died a second before getting to the boat ;-; (Somehow the spotlight saw me and they shot me and i nearly escaped in 5 days)

@hotwario225 I haven't played The Escapist 2 in a really long time so I don't remember what the roof looks like anymore, but I can assure you last time I played it, it was possible
It's probably got to do with the fact that there's a different vent and you need the grappling hook, there's a lot of craters on the rooftop right? Because I feel like there were 2 different vents
hotwario225 16 Mar, 2024 @ 5:31pm 
How do you do the helicopter escape? it is legit impossible, ive gotten to the top with grappling hook but you just cant break the walls at all. do you need some makeshift ladders?

I just tried your prison, and thought: wow, you give your inmates a lot of freedom. Wanna check out my hardest prison? Because it`s a bit harder than yours (yes i dare to say that after playing your masterpiece)

How the bloody hell did you make that (screenshot with prison info)

This map is pretty challenging.I escaped by the helicopter,which takes me 15 days.All the things I used is a red key and a blue one,a contraband pouch, some crowbars and some cutters.(I've tried to escape by digging,which took me much time and failed at last).
The biggest challenge is the library is hard to get into.It's on the 2nd floor.The only way you can get there is by ventilation duct.We all know that if you stand on the desk,the camera will alarm and a policeman will come.But I found it very interesting that the policeman will only check the camera and then get out your room though it is still alarming!After getting to the education,the map is not hard any more.
superzhangpangpang 16 Aug, 2023 @ 7:35am 
这张地图很难。我用15天时间通过直升机逃脱。我用了一把红色钥匙,一把蓝色钥匙,一个违禁品袋,几个物理学圣剑和几把剪子。(这个傻子曾经尝试挖出去。浪费了我好几天时间后我放弃了。)
这张图最大的难点是卷不了。图书馆在二楼,我们只能通过爬通风管道上去。恶心的一点是每个房间都有监控。但我发现了一件神奇的事情:站在工作台上监控会报警,报警后会有狱警来,狱警检查完监控,对你放几句话后就走了!卷完后地图难度直线下降。

Extra: this prison took me 2 rounds (first one was in multiplayer and failed) and took me 11 days to escape using boat in dock.
tluishj 13 Aug, 2023 @ 12:36pm 
Tecnically, u can escape from this prison without studying (something that will save u around 5 to 8 days trying to reach the libraries), but thats complicated am maybe u will late same or more time than after studying. The obstacle is interesting, but very annoying when you don't know anything about this prison. And unless u have a disguise or can run fast to the lockers, your progress will be slow. Compared to official prisons like Fort Tundra or USS Anomaly, is just as challenging, but if u erase the libraries problem, difficulty reduces from Hard to Medium, cus there are no guards patrolling inside the east wall. By not count that instead of locking just some rooms, all the second floor is locked (if u ignore the vents). I'll give it 7/10.

one of the coolest custom maps, makes you really think about how to make your escape through many interesting and somewhat unique obstacles. I highly recommend to at least give it a try after completion of the main game, since it offers one of the most interesting experiences throughout whole steam workshop.

Great map, Very difficult, took 16 days done boat escape through the metalwork room then cut fences and dag under the outer wall much thougher than any map team 17 made in escapits 2 so 10/10
IDIOTMAN 16 Feb, 2023 @ 2:40pm 
btw i did not craft
IDIOTMAN 16 Feb, 2023 @ 2:40pm 
i totally didnt beat it in 5 days
it was venting at guards.
i kept getting duck tape till one point healing items and crowbars lockdown happens after lock downs good and im on the roof i chip the one wall the normal one by waiting for energy
359diset 26 Dec, 2022 @ 8:05am

Review: Fairly fun but I have a few problems with it.

I think restricting education is a fun idea, but not like this. To clarify, you need to use the vents to get up into the library, there is no other way to it. This would be fine if there wasn't a camera in every room, you can disable it, but only for a short time. Basically, every time you need to increase your education, a lockdown occurs afterwards same happens if 1 guard comes into your room. Not fun.

However, past that the rest is pretty easy to figure out. I did the boat escape and all that takes is a red key, a contraband pouch, a screwdriver, a guard outfit, a rope, and wire cutters. Nothing too special.

All in all, getting to the education is hard, but not fun, and the escape itself isn't too hard. I looked at the roof escape which seems to be about the same difficulty? Not sure but it just looks like you need 3-4 makeshift ladders, a chipping tool, a contraband pouch, a red key, and 2 screwdrivers.

@Clarie Vi there's no need for keys to get to the library, you can get there without stealing keys, just "go up"
vivi 4 Jun, 2022 @ 7:04am 
OH GOD THE LIBRARY IS IN THE SECOND FLOOR AND I NEED TO GET THE RED CARD.WOW! IT IS VERY HARD!!
WARBeatler 25 May, 2022 @ 1:59pm 
After about 5 hours of playing I finally beat it. This map is challenging and a bit frustrating but I enjoyed it. Best way I found was to rush the stairs with a red key, quickly drop it and then hide in cabinet near books till the heat is down and raise your int to 80. Craft a bunch of shovels and a pickaxe. Destroy the wall in blacksmith workshop near camera, go through it then just dig under the wall until you are out and then head to the boat.

My only issue is that I feel like the whole work area is way too easy. No guard ever comes past the work doors (unless you trigger them with scanners) so you can just keep dropping items there and never have to worry about guards finding them. Even the camera near the wall doesn't seem to be working properly, I eventually stopped putting fake walls near it since it didn't even matter. When a big part of the map lacks any guard routines it kinda ruins the tension. Still a good map though :steamthumbsup:

Dunno if you'd be interested anymore but it's possible to make maps with custom textures by accessing resources.assets and shareassets1.assets in TE2 data file. Streaming assets > audio for music though idk if anyone's tried. By any chance for the other prisons to get a 2.0 makeover like stalag or fhrust peak.
Asura 3 Apr, 2022 @ 10:27am 
Could you please tell me how to beat it? I've been playing for 24 hours and still haven't found a way to read

the way to escape in helicopter is tricky but super amazing! i think this could be my second hardest second prison with around 5 and a half days for escaping
Tuttiritari 1 Sep, 2021 @ 8:15am 
Easily the best custom prison I've played so far! Challenging but not frustrating.
[ESCAPE SPOILERS]







We ended up digging out through the woodworking job all the way to the ship
liulier 1 Aug, 2021 @ 12:15pm 
The way to escape in the air is that you have to go to the second floor to study,amazing!
liulier 1 Aug, 2021 @ 12:14pm 
I finished the escape by plane today ✌
liulier 31 Jul, 2021 @ 12:18pm 
It's great to dig several places and finally dig the right place:steambored:

@Rookie thanks I should have read the description
magmamate 27 Jul, 2021 @ 11:13pm 
gg 8 day escape because i literally couldnt find any tape for the first 5 days lol

extremely fun map, i hope they update the editor so we can actually make maps like the actual maps xd
Rookie  [author] 23 Jul, 2021 @ 12:40pm 
@EgorexW there is one but you can't easily access it or it'd be just another easy map, this is exactly the challenge part of my maps
EgorexW 23 Jul, 2021 @ 2:25am 
I can`t find libary to learn?
magmamate 22 Jul, 2021 @ 10:04am 
GG! I got a C score with my friend, with boat escape. I really felt a sense of accomplishment once we got out. It's a bit tricky at first, but seasoned escapists players can pick it up easily and have a good challenge. I have not yet found out how to do the helicopter escape yet, but I am going to try that too.
piersonsale 31 Jan, 2021 @ 6:57pm 
You actually did it
ChillyDude153198 29 Dec, 2020 @ 1:25pm 
It took me soooo long to get out. This was mainly because I had no idea where to go and there was no library you could easiiy access
Proximity Explosive Rubber Duck 13 Oct, 2020 @ 7:44pm 
i got out. 12 days, mostly because i didnt know where to go, i feel like a picture of the full map from the top floor would help some of these maps, great map and i only got a few more 2.0 maps to have done them all! also, i really liked the usage of vents in this map, perfect map for when ur bored
Proximity Explosive Rubber Duck 13 Oct, 2020 @ 4:44pm 
where is the helicopter escape? im looking for a way out and the boat escape is looking a bit too hard
