Punch Walls To Escape All Five Floors Guide: How to Work Through the Prison and Reach the Exit

Every escape in Punch Walls To Escape happens inside the prison, which is spread across 5 floors of walls to break through. You are locked in but strong enough to break your way out, and the goal is to escape all 5 floors. This guide walks through the actions that move you toward the exit.

Quick answer

Punch the walls around you, pick up the rubble that falls, and sell it at the grinder for progress. Upgrade your fists to unlock the Sledgehammer, TNT and Vacuum for harder walls, then keep working your way up through the floors toward the exit.

How the prison is laid out

The prison is where every escape takes place, and it is spread across 5 floors of walls to break through. You are locked in but strong enough to break your way out: every wall you punch down opens a new path through the prison.

Your direction of travel is upward. Once you start breaking out, you work your way up through the floors toward the exit, and a full run means clearing all 5 floors. If you want a broader grounding before your first run, the beginner guide covers the first steps in more depth.

The actions that move you through the prison

Punching walls, collecting and selling the rubble, and upgrading your fists are the actions that move you through the prison:

1. Punch the walls around you to start breaking out — punching walls opens new paths through the prison.
2. Pick up the rubble that falls from the walls you break.
3. Sell the rubble at the grinder, which is where you sell the rubble you collect from broken walls.
4. Upgrade your fists so you can unlock the Sledgehammer, TNT and Vacuum.
5. Work your way up through the floors toward the exit and aim for your best time.

Our how to break walls and how to sell rubble pages break down two of those steps in detail.

Tools for the harder walls

Upgrading your fists is what unlocks the Sledgehammer, TNT and Vacuum, which help you move through harder walls.

Gems on the way: vaults and rare blocks

Not every smash is only about clearing a path. Vaults can be smashed for gems, and rare blocks can be found and smashed for gems as you break through the prison, so keep an eye out for both while you work the floors.

Solo or with friends

You can work through the five floors on your own, or team up with up to 4 friends in the same escape. Playing with friends lets you share the escape, or you can try to beat your best time solo — the game lets you try to beat your own best time on each escape. The play with friends guide explains the available group option.

Before a run, it is also worth a quick look at the Codes page.

Putting it together

A full escape means clearing all 5 floors of the prison. Punch walls to open new paths, pick up the rubble and sell it at the grinder, upgrade your fists so the Sledgehammer, TNT and Vacuum are available for harder walls, and smash vaults and rare blocks for gems along the way. On later escapes, you can try to beat your own best time. For the escape objective and progression loop, see how to escape, and for the best-time goal, how to escape faster.
