By Earnaldo Team | Published April 25, 2026 | Roblox Guides

Dig to Escape by Breakout Funs is a prison escape game on Roblox where you dig tunnels, sell loot for Toilet Paper (TP), upgrade your tools, and find your way out through one of several endings. With over 299.8 million visits and a 97.8% rating, it has become one of the most popular escape games on the platform since launching in November 2025. This guide covers every ending, every class, the full tool upgrade path, and the strategies that experienced players use to escape faster.

Dig to Escape Codes (April 2026)

Dig to Escape does not currently have a code redemption system. Check back for updates.

Unlike many other Roblox games, the developer DevNamedDavid has not added a code input interface to Dig to Escape. All progress is earned through gameplay. There are no freebies to redeem, no promo codes, and no secret text boxes hidden in the lobby. If a code system is added in a future update, we will update this section immediately.

What Is Dig to Escape

Dig to Escape is a Roblox experience created by Breakout Funs, developed primarily by DevNamedDavid. The game places you inside a prison where your goal is to dig tunnels, collect valuable items underground, sell those items for Toilet Paper (the in-game currency), and ultimately escape through one of multiple endings.

Each server holds up to 14 players, and a typical escape run takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the ending you pursue and the class you choose. The game has a day-night cycle that affects gameplay: during the day you can move around freely, but at night you need to be more careful about how you navigate the prison.

Two currencies drive your progression. Toilet Paper (TP) is earned within each run by selling dug-up items, and you spend it on tools, keycards, and consumables. Diamonds are the persistent currency earned by completing escape runs, and you spend them on permanent class upgrades that carry over between sessions.

The game first launched on November 10, 2025, and has already passed 299.8 million total visits. Its 97.8% approval rating makes it one of the highest-rated escape games on Roblox. Content creators like Foltyn, Combo Panda/Rex, Blue, and The Robros have all published playthroughs, which has helped drive the game's rapid growth.

All Classes and Which to Pick in 2026

Classes in Dig to Escape are permanent upgrades purchased with Diamonds. Each class gives you a specific advantage that changes how you approach the game. Choosing the right class for your preferred ending makes a significant difference in how quickly you can escape.

Bargainer - The Best Overall Class

Bargainer is the strongest class for most players. The reduced cost on digging upgrades means you reach the Trowel faster, and cheaper energy means you spend less TP on food and consumables. If you plan to run the Mineshaft ending repeatedly to farm Diamonds, Bargainer will save you several minutes per run over the long term.

Speedster - Best for Janitor Ending

If you prefer the Janitor ending, Speedster is the clear pick. The ending requires collecting 12 batteries scattered around the prison, and faster movement speed lets you gather them more efficiently. The time savings on traversal add up quickly when you need to visit multiple locations.

Heavy Lifter - Best for Solo Players

Heavy Lifter shines when you are playing alone and focused on the Mineshaft ending. Carrying more items per trip to the Sell NPC means fewer back-and-forth runs, which translates directly into faster TP accumulation. In multiplayer, this advantage is less noticeable since teammates can help carry items.

All 5 Endings Walkthrough - 2026

Dig to Escape has four confirmed endings and one rumored upcoming ending. Each ending requires a different strategy, different items, and a different amount of TP. Here is a complete breakdown of every ending and how to complete it.

1. Mineshaft Ending (Main Ending)

The Mineshaft ending is the primary escape route and the one most players complete first. The concept is straightforward: dig straight down, sell everything you find, buy better tools, and keep digging until you reach the mineshaft at the bottom.

1. Start digging straight down from your cell. Focus on going directly downward rather than spreading out horizontally for the most efficient item collection.
2. Collect every item you find while digging. Bring them to the Sell NPC to convert them into Toilet Paper. At night, use the vent outside your cell to safely reach the Sell NPC and trade NPCs.
3. Once you have 25 TP, buy the Toy Shovel. This is your first tool upgrade and will noticeably speed up your digging.
4. Save up 45 TP and upgrade to the Spatula. Resist the temptation to spend TP on unnecessary consumables between upgrades.
5. At 80 TP, purchase the Trowel. This is the best digging tool available and will make the final stretch much faster.
6. Continue digging downward with the Trowel until you break through to the mineshaft. Follow the mineshaft path to complete your escape.

The Mineshaft ending takes 30-60 minutes depending on your class, your luck with item drops, and how efficiently you manage your digging energy. With the Bargainer class, expect to shave 5-10 minutes off the average run.

2. Janitor Ending

The Janitor ending takes a completely different approach. Instead of digging deep, you farm TP to buy an Illegal Keycard and then collect batteries to power the main door.

1. Farm 200 TP through digging and selling items. Focus on efficient TP generation using the grid-pattern digging method described in the tips section below.
2. Buy the Illegal Keycard for 200 TP. This unlocks access to restricted areas of the prison.
3. Locate and collect all 12 batteries scattered throughout the prison. The Speedster class helps significantly here due to the movement speed bonus.
4. Insert the batteries into the main door mechanism and escape through the front entrance.

The Janitor ending takes 30-45 minutes. It requires more TP upfront (200 for the keycard) but does not require deep digging or the full tool upgrade chain.

3. Rooftop Ending

The Rooftop ending involves bribing your way through the prison hierarchy and completing a parkour section on the roof. This ending rewards players who are comfortable with Roblox platforming mechanics. The parkour section can be challenging on the first attempt, so practice your jumps.

4. Kitchen Ending

The Kitchen ending is the most expensive ending in terms of TP, requiring 300 TP total for two key purchases.

1. Farm 300 TP through digging and selling. This is the highest TP requirement of any ending.
2. Buy the Illegal Keycard for 200 TP.
3. Buy the Crowbar for 100 TP.
4. Use the keycard and crowbar to access the kitchen area.
5. Navigate through the vent system from the kitchen.
6. Complete the rooftop parkour section to finish your escape.

The Kitchen ending takes 30-45 minutes and combines item farming with platforming skill. It is a good option for experienced players looking for variety.

5. Alcatraz Ending (Rumored)

The Alcatraz ending is a rumored secret ending that has not been officially confirmed. Players in the community have speculated about its existence based on hidden map details and developer hints. If the Alcatraz ending is added in a future update, we will add a full walkthrough here.

Tool Upgrade Path

Tools are the most important purchases in Dig to Escape. Each upgrade significantly increases your digging speed, which directly affects how fast you can collect items and earn TP. Here is the complete tool progression.

The total cost to fully upgrade your tools is 150 TP (25 + 45 + 80). With the Bargainer class, these costs are reduced, making the upgrade path faster. Always prioritize the next tool upgrade over spending TP on food or other consumables. A faster tool pays for itself through increased item collection.

TP Farming Strategies

Toilet Paper generation is the core gameplay loop of Dig to Escape. Whether you are going for the Mineshaft ending at 150 TP for tools or the Kitchen ending at 300 TP for the keycard and crowbar, efficient TP farming determines how fast you escape.

Straight-Down Digging

For the Mineshaft ending, dig straight down from your cell. This is the most direct path to the mineshaft and also provides a steady stream of items to sell along the way. Straight-down digging is the default strategy for new players and remains effective at all skill levels.

Grid-Pattern Digging

For endings that require high TP amounts (Janitor at 200 TP, Kitchen at 300 TP), a rectangular grid pattern finds more items than digging in a single direction. By digging in a systematic grid, you cover more ground and discover 20-30 TP worth of items per in-game day. This method is slower for reaching the mineshaft but generates more TP per unit of digging energy.

Night Selling Route

At night, use the vent outside your cell to reach the trade NPCs and Sell NPC safely. This lets you sell items and buy supplies without worrying about guards or other nighttime hazards. Learning this route is essential for efficient play, since it means you never waste a night cycle doing nothing.

Pro Tips and Tricks for 2026

These strategies are used by experienced Dig to Escape players to complete runs faster and more consistently. Whether you are on your first escape or your fiftieth, these tips will help you optimize your gameplay.

Food Management

Buy food in stacks of 2-4 at a time. Food is cheap, and having a small buffer prevents you from running out of energy mid-dig. However, do not stockpile large quantities. Your TP is better spent saving for the next tool upgrade. A good rule of thumb is to never have more than 8 food items in your inventory at once.

Prioritize Tool Upgrades

Always save your TP for the next tool upgrade before spending on consumables or other items. The jump from Bare Hands to Toy Shovel at 25 TP makes a massive difference, and each subsequent upgrade compounds that improvement. The faster you dig, the faster you earn TP, creating a positive feedback loop.

Night Vent Navigation

The vent outside your cell at night is your lifeline. It provides safe passage to the trade NPCs and Sell NPC, allowing you to convert items to TP even during the dangerous nighttime period. Memorize this route early and use it every night cycle without exception.

Energy Conservation

With the Energizer class, your digging sessions last longer before you need to rest or eat. If you are not using Energizer, plan your digging sessions carefully. Dig until your energy is low, sell your items, eat food to restore energy, and repeat. Avoid wasting energy on unnecessary movement or digging in already-cleared areas.

Multiplayer Coordination

In servers with multiple cooperating players, coordinate your digging areas to avoid overlapping tunnels. The Hyperactive class works well in multiplayer settings. One player can focus on digging while another handles selling runs, which significantly speeds up the overall TP generation rate for the group.
