What should you do on Day 1?
13 Days to Escape is a Roblox survival game by RoDark Studios. In the alpha, you start in Cell 13 and earn in-game cash during the day to buy tools for the escape. Start by checking your objective panel and the current period timer.
The November 10 Day 1 screenshots show a starting objective to buy a screwdriver from OJ. The Library has a numbered book delivery job, and the kitchen has a potato-peeling minigame during Lunch. Use the time left in the current period to choose a job you can finish.
Where do you buy the first tool?
Look for the money icon above OJ. Talk to him to open OJ’s Deals and check the screwdriver price in your build. The developer describes hiding tools, moving the cell toilet and digging into tunnels as part of the night portion of the game. Follow the interactions shown in your session.
How do you pass the Day 1 lockdown?
Return to your assigned cell as soon as the Return to Cells prompt appears. The November 10 alpha report shows a 15-second countdown and records a failed day for a player outside their cell at the deadline. Use the timer on your screen if it differs.
If the game switches to the next period while you are doing a job, check the new prompt before continuing. That matters most near lockdown, when a finished job will do little for a run that ends at the cell door.
