Prison Break: Architect Tycoon is an action game in which you are the main prison guard tasked with securing the prison. Your job is to ensure that no prisoners can escape or, worse, kill you, leading to a game over. You start with an empty prison and transform it into a secure facility. Build inmate cells, reinforce doors, install surveillance cameras, and recruit additional guards. Improve your warden to handle a larger population of prisoners efficiently. Each facility offers unique challenges, providing a captivating experience for players of all ages.

How to Play Prison Break: Architect Tycoon

The game starts with you as a security guard in a prison, requiring plenty of work. There are few jail cells with doors and no toilets, and the prison is in dire need of handcuffs and leg shackles, just in case of a prison break! You aim to keep up with the number of prisoners that are detained, increasing your security staff along with administrative staff and collect as much money as possible to make this all happen!

Prison Break Battle

The game is broken up into "days". Each day is defined by a battle - or a potential prison break. There is a green button on the side of the screen labeled battle. Tap it for the final challenge of the day, where all prisoners escape, and the only thing you can do to protect yourself is neutralize them into submission and carry them back off to their cells. This will not only get you to the next day but will also give you a hefty jackpot of rewards if you survive the prison break!

It is vital that you spend your money wisely to survive these prison breaks. Increase security to the max by adding the heaviest shackles and most secure handcuffs and upgrading your weapon as much as you can afford. This will ensure you can out beat the prison break, especially when you are further along, and multiple cells are filled to capacity. It's impossible to defeat the prisoners otherwise.

Hire more staff

The further along you are in days, and the more money you have collected and reinstated in prison repairs, the more security guards you will need and be able to hire. Your security guards will fight prison breaks right alongside you.

Not all prisoners are alike

Spend your money on repairs for current prisoners and in preparation for future prisoners. Most prisoners are of average strength and capacity, but the more you progress in the game, the more interesting your prisoners become. They will eventually come in all shapes and sizes and will have difficult combat skills. Get your upgrades at the front office in capacity, speed, and strength. You can also upgrade your weapon, which is strongly recommended.
