1st Prison Escape

It seems like you might be asking about the first prison escape game, given your history of game-related queries. Since there’s no clear consensus on the very first prison escape game ever made—video games evolved gradually—I’ll take a stab at one of the earliest notable examples that fits the bill, based on what’s out there. If you meant something else, like a specific title or historical event, just nudge me! Let’s go with Escaping the Prison, part of the Henry Stickmin series by Puffballs United, which dropped in 2010 on platforms like Newgrounds before hitting wider audiences. It’s not the absolute first prison escape game ever—text adventures and obscure titles from the ‘80s might claim that—but it’s one of the earliest to popularize the concept in the casual, browser-based scene. You play Henry Stickmin, a stick-figure crook, breaking out of jail using wild tools like a file, cellphone, or teleporter. Click to pick your move, and each choice spins a different outcome—some hilarious, some deadly—across three endings: Lawyered Up, Sneaky Escape, or Badass Bust Out. The vibe’s light and chaotic—think simple animations and a choose-your-own-adventure feel—perfect for a quick, replayable escape fantasy. It’s all about trial and error, no deep strategy, just fun. How many tries do you think it’d take you to bust Henry out—or would you end up back in the cell?
