Game

The Escapists ios/android This complex strategy game with beautiful retro graphics gives you a chance to escape from several different prisons.

The latest update, Paris Central Pen, is one of the more challenging missions, as you befriend inmates, carry out tasks and wait for the right moment to go for it. In the beginning you can choose the names for each prisoner and guard.

You’re then tasked with acquiring the necessary tools for your escape – by either bartering, building or stealing them from other inmates. Following the prison routine like exercising and eating meals enables you to level up your character which should make the escape slightly easier. While carrying out these tasks, you must hide your stash of tools from periodic searches – or you’ll end up in solitary confinement.

The Escapists costs £4.99 and is good fun for those

APP who don’t take mobile gaming too seriously – but it might be too complex for kids.
