About the Game

Escape By Spoon is a first-person escape simulator with a distinctive cartoon horror-comedy twist. You begin locked in a prison cell, and your only way out is to dig. The catch? Your only tool is a spoon.

Starting from your cell, you carve tunnels underground in search of valuables, hidden routes, and a path to freedom. Haul your loot back to the surface, sell it for profit, upgrade your equipment, and push deeper with every run. The further you go, the stranger the underground becomes—and the prison is never as empty as it seems.

At the heart of the experience is a deeply satisfying gameplay loop built around digging, hauling, selling, upgrading, and returning for one more run. Escape By Spoon blends light suspense, absurd humor, and a rubber-hose cartoon aesthetic, turning every tunnel, encounter, and close call into something theatrical and memorable.

Inspired by games such as Dave the Diver, Cuphead, and A Game About Digging a Hole, Escape By Spoon combines a bold visual identity with an addictive progression system and a simple but irresistible hook: escape from prison using only a spoon.
