Major issue on iPad Pro
I will give this game 5 stars when this gets fixed. When I leave the game, either on purpose or because the game crashes, when I reload the game it sets me back a minimum of 2 days and I lose all the progress I made for those 2 days. It is incredibly annoying and if it keeps this up I’m going to fight for a full refund. Please fix this
★★★★ BigAl420420 9/1/2022 v1.11
I would like a refund plz
I got the game thinking it was the actual game but it’s just the home screen and then loads to an empty screen with a repeating sound, don’t waste your money plz DONT GET THIS GAME!

Broken & abandoned
I PAID. But this game is broken and abandoned, no updates in 2 years. Sad, it could’ve been fun but it just left a bad taste in my mouth for developer TEAM17. Too buggy to play on my new iPad Pro, the jobs get stuck and the tasks from other inmates get stuck so you cannot advance. Multiplayer also buggy.

Weird guards
I was just going to roll call and when I got there I was swarmed by guards and I did nothing. Also to me the levels are way to hard I can’t beat prison 2.

Location, location
Cant finish those quests because the game just doesn’t register that I DID get that item- in fact multiple times from multiple desks, including the one who sent me on this mission. Its pretty frustrating since there’s a few other bugs as well that really drops the game quality. Cant believe Ive spent money on this.. shouldve been free

Best game I ever played I can beat up officers 🤑🤑
★★★★★ Uzul 3/17/2024 v1.11
This Game
I wanted to play this game with my friend, but you have to be on the same WiFi router as someone in order to play the game with them so if you want to play this with someone who doesn’t live with you then this is a waste of money.Game developers if you are reading this then please fix this problem.
★★★★★ Redo Of HeaIer 10/22/2023 v1.11
Hard to recommend
I have a iPhone 15 Pro and the game randomly freezes. It is extremely frustrating. First two levels were fine but once I played the cowboy themed 4th level it started freezing for seconds to minutes at a time. I restarted my phone and closed out background apps. None of that worked. Could be that specific level but now it ruined my experience and my interest to play it. Otherwise the game itself is really fun but gets repetitive quick. Keep doing daily tasks and craft tools to get out. Rinse and repeat every level. Not enough variety and changes to each level. Why does the cowboy themed one still have keycards, metal detectors, cameras, k9, and guards using batons? Makes no sense. Its just an art style no real gameplay creativity in the levels.
★★★★★ Iamlegendben 6/27/2023 v1.11
Good game when it works.
I love playing this game with my bf, but it becomes a race to try and escape before the app crashes. I know the developers probably don’t care at this point but if they could fix the freezing and crashing it would be a 5-star rating. We can only get 20-25 minutes into our game before it starts freezing every 5 seconds and kicking my bf out of my game. It’s really annoying.
