Beginner guide: the first run

Looking for codes? Here is the current status.

Your first Punch to Escape run is a short loop. Punch the wall, vacuum the pieces, sell them, buy the first upgrade, and walk home when the cell search starts.

Exact counts, creation/update timestamps and pass descriptions below are single-source Roblox records, captured 30 Oct 2026 at 04:08–04:09 UTC. Video prices and run totals are single-source historical examples from the named creator; they are not current price lists. Independent recordings corroborate the gameplay loop and room order. A Roblox creation timestamp does not establish a public launch date.

Before the cell

MBT's overview shows a lobby board labeled Party Size, with 1 Solo, 2 Duo, and 3 Trio, and the line Tap a size, or press E. Leaderboards beside it track fastest escape, escapes, and voxels. A written pass over the same video also describes a prison select set to The Prison on Normal, with a short countdown. I can point at the party-size board myself. The tools show up after you arrive in the cell.

Punch, then vacuum

Slot 1 is the fist. Hold the mouse button on the wall. Early tutorial text counts blocks, starting from a small pile, and the goal line says to clear every block before the next room opens. A pretty hole with a leftover strip along the ceiling still counts as unfinished. Slot 2 is the vacuum. Stand near the rubble and hold. The bag number in the corner is current over capacity.

Sell, then the first buy

When the bag fills, the line on screen is that your bag is full and you should sell it to your cellmate. The sell spot is the green box under the hole in the cell wall. The tutorial tells you to walk into that box. After the cash number moves, open upgrades with Q. The tutorial points at Radius on the fists tab. That is the first buy I would copy. I would not copy a later player's prices, because Radius costs a few hundred in an early clip and thousands in a late one.

Keys that show up on video

Bag capacity is not one number. One recording shows 60, another 225, and a later room shows 600. Write down the number on your own bag instead of hunting a single official size. Touch controls and a controller layout are absent from these recordings, so this page stays with the keyboard.
