ITEM FOUND

GI Joe Action Battle
Assault Pipe

A toilet paper roll, some tin foil, maybe an LED light or 2 + an AA battery. You just need to find one more thing to begin your escape.

ITEM FOUND

The Buttman

Sony invented the Walkman, but you invented the Buttman. Your homemade radio is the first step in this escape.

ITEM FOUND

1/2 oz of weed

You invented a system for moving contraband through the pipes. Pull in sealed baggies with sandwiches, reading materials and drugs galore. Cue the music, fire up the pipe and you’re on your way out of this cell.
