* OutsideTheBoxTactic: One of the biggest obstacles to digging your way out is that the dirt has to ''go'' somewhere, and it can't go in your tunnel. The easiest method to dispose of unwanted things, including dirt, is to flush it down the toilet, but if it the toilet gets clogged, the guards will find what you tried to flush, and if it's contraband, they'll bust you for it. So the best way to dispose of dirt is to flush it down ''other people's toilets''. As long as you're not seen doing it, it doesn't matter if the toilet gets clogged: the guards will get angry at the other guy!

There are a total of eleven story-centric prisons and six [[DownloadableContent DLC prisons]] to break out of.
!!The Escapists 2 features these tropes:
* AirVentPassageway: Like the first game, there are still air vents. Now, however, they can span multiple floors.
* TheAlcatraz: Explicitly averted. Every prison has one way or another to escape.
* BavarianFireDrill: One of the escapes has you pretending to be a camera crewmember and walking out of the door with them.
* CaptivityHarmonica: In some of the Social rooms, there are harmonicas. Interacting with them will show a short animation of your character playing it.
* CutleryEscapeAid: Like the first game, you can use plastic knives, spoons, and forks to cut open, chip, or dig. Unlike the first game, however, it is ''monumentally'' slower (plastic utensils break in 5 hits, and each chip only drops 1% of durability.) Better bring a lot of cutlery if you want to chip out.
* GreatEscape: The entire point of the game. You'll need to escape from prisons to earn keys and unlock harder ones.
* TheGulag: Fort Tundra qualifies as this. It's a prison set in the Siberian tundra and it's perpetually snowing.
* LockDown: Reaching 5 stars on the Security Level[[note]]see the Wanted Meter entry[[/note]] will immediately prompt a loud alarm and flashing red sirens along with the lockdown music, release of SWAT guards, and dogs.
* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Center Perks 2.0. As well as being an obvious ContinuityNod to Center Perks from the first game, it has polite guards, good food, and a social area.
