Escaping the Prison is the iconic Henry Stickmin choose-your-own-adventure game created by PuffballsUnited. You play as Henry Stickmin, a loveable stick figure who’s been locked up in prison and needs to find a way out. The game presents you with choices at critical moments, and each decision leads to either a hilarious failure or one step closer to freedom.
The brilliance of Escaping the Prison lies in its humour. Most choices lead to spectacular and funny failure animations — Henry might try to use a rocket launcher and blow himself up, attempt to dig a tunnel and end up in China, or try to disguise himself with hilariously poor results. Finding the correct path requires trial and error, and the failures are so entertaining that you’ll want to try every option.
Originally released as a Flash game on Newgrounds, Escaping the Prison was part of the Henry Stickmin series that eventually led to the full game The Henry Stickmin Collection on Steam. This browser version preserves the classic experience with all its original charm and comedy. Multiple endings mean there’s more than one way to escape.
