The prison's security has been breached and all the cell doors have opened. You and your fellow Jailiens need to race or work together to find a way out!

Destructible Environments

Break through doors, vents, and weak walls using explosives and other tools, to reach restricted areas. Dig an underground tunnel using your trusty spoon, for a stealthy escape.

Multi-Layered Interactivity

Environment is everything. Check the cameras to locate guards, or hijack the intercom to communicate with teammates across the prison. Destroy air defenses to allow for an airborne escape, or punch down trees to build a raft.

Proximity Chat

Ultra realistic proximity chat using dynamic reverb, occlusion, and directional audio.

Map Editor with Workshop Support

Create, browse, and play tons of custom maps from community members! CUFFBUST has a robust in-game level editor where you can create your own prisons, obbies, races, and arenas to share with the world on the Steam Workshop.

Pick Your Playstyle

10 player lobbies enable many play styles. Team up with a few friends and work together to be the first prisoners out, betray your team and escape alone, or gang up on other teams to hinder their progress.

Massive Roster of Tools

Use pans and spoons to beat up guards, use ID cards to access restricted areas. Loot guns and riot shields from the armory for an action packed escape, or fix electrical circuits to navigate through the sewers.

Hundreds of Free Cosmetics

Escape in style.

Tons of Unique Escape Routes

There are many intermingled routes, tools and mechanics that allow for many escape plans.

Gerjohntons

They don’t like you very much. Kill them I guess.
