How to use these guides
Read the first digging loop, then the ending you want. The shop and class pages are the reference for prices. Night guard rules apply to every route.
Which ⛏️Dig to Escape guides are published?
First digging loop
Sell what you dig, take the free lunch, close your cell door at night, and save 25 Toilet Paper for the Toy Shovel.
Mineshaft ending
Buy Toy Shovel, Spatula, and Trowel for 150 Toilet Paper, dig the seven layers, and follow the sparkles to the ladder.
Janitor ending
Farm 200 Toilet Paper for the Illegal Keycard, move the Security ladder into the Janitor vent, and load 12 batteries.
Rooftops ending
Spend 300 Toilet Paper on the Illegal Keycard and Crowbar, open the kitchen vent, and reach the red helicopter.
Night guard rules
Close your own cell door at night, use the vents to trade, and do not hide in another prisoner's cell.
Toilet Paper and the shop
Sell dug-up items for Toilet Paper, then use the published shop prices before you spend Diamonds on a class.
Classes and Diamonds
Spend Diamonds at the lobby Classes NPC. Energizer is the cheaper first buy, Bargainer discounts the whole shop, and Speedster is for the chases.
Multiplayer roles
Split digging, selling, and carrying Toilet Paper. Groups make the Janitor batteries faster and make Heavy Lifter unnecessary.
