Choosing your side

Table

In short Your role decides your entire goal, so understand what each side is working toward before you pick.

At the start of a session you choose between prisoner and police. Prisoners aim to break out of the tower; police aim to arrest criminals and keep the tower secure. Both sides have their own badge milestones, so there is real replay value in switching between them.

Prisoner	escape the prison tower to unlock the WANTED badge
Police	join the force for the FIRST DUTY badge, then arrest your first criminal for FIRST ARREST
Police progression	climb from one arrest toward the hundred needed for VETERAN

First steps as a prisoner

Step

In short Getting out of the tower is your immediate goal, and doing it once unlocks your first major badge.

You start inside the prison tower the moment you load in. Successfully leaving the tower earns the WANTED badge, which is the first real proof of progress on the prisoner side.

Confirm your starting position you begin inside the tower
Attempt the escape push toward the outside of the tower to trigger the WANTED badge

First steps as a police officer

Step

In short Your first arrest is the clearest short-term goal, and a hundred arrests is the long road to VETERAN.

Joining the police unlocks the FIRST DUTY badge right away, so the role immediately rewards you. From there, focus on making arrests. One arrest earns FIRST ARREST, and grinding that up to one hundred earns VETERAN — one of the higher-effort badges in the game.

Join the force selecting police at the start unlocks FIRST DUTY automatically
Make your first arrest bring in one criminal to earn the FIRST ARREST badge
Keep arresting track your count as you work toward the 100 needed for VETERAN

Balance and bounty goals

Tips

In short Reaching a seven-digit balance and a 10,000 bounty are the two hardest long-term milestones for prisoners.

Two separate numbers track prisoner progress: your cash balance and your bounty. Both have badge thresholds worth knowing before you grind.

Tips worth knowing

Hitting a seven-digit balance earns the MILLIONAIRE badge
A bounty of 1,000 earns MOST WANTED and puts every police player on alert for you
A bounty of 10,000 earns BOUNTY ELITE
Cash Drop was added back on April 19, giving prisoners another way to build their balance

Playing during Open Beta

Warn

In short The game is still in Open Beta, so expect changes and stay flexible.

Prison Break Tower is currently in Open Beta, which the developers have stated openly. That means balance tweaks, bug fixes, and new features can arrive at any time — the April 19 update that restored Cash Drop and added the prison mailbox is a recent example.

Worth watching out for

Anything can change abilities, mechanics, and balance are all subject to adjustment without notice

Keep an eye on update notes so you know when mechanics you relied on have shifted

All eight badges at a glance

Table

In short Use this table to pick your next target and know exactly what you need to do to earn it.

Every badge is earned automatically when you hit its condition. Prisoner and police badges are separate, so completionists need to play both sides.

Badge	Side	How to earn it
LOCKED UP	Prisoner	Start your journey inside the prison tower
WANTED	Prisoner	Escape the prison tower successfully
MILLIONAIRE	Prisoner	Reach a seven-digit cash balance
MOST WANTED	Prisoner	Reach a bounty of 1,000
BOUNTY ELITE	Prisoner	Reach a bounty of 10,000
FIRST DUTY	Police	Join the police force for the first time
FIRST ARREST	Police	Arrest your first criminal
VETERAN	Police	Arrest 100 criminals

Glossary

Bounty: A number that rises as you act as a prisoner — reaching 1,000 puts every officer on alert, and reaching 10,000 earns BOUNTY ELITE.
Balance: Your cash total as a prisoner; hitting seven digits earns the MILLIONAIRE badge.
Cash Drop: A mechanic restored in the April 19 update that drops cash into the game world for prisoners to collect.
Open Beta: The current phase of the game where it is publicly playable but still receiving bug fixes, balance changes, and new features.
Prison Mailbox: An object added to the prison in the April 19 update.

Common questions

FAQ

Can I switch between prisoner and police?

You choose your side at the start of each session, so you can play prisoner one run and police the next. Both sides have their own independent badge milestones.

What happens when my bounty hits 1,000?

Every police player in the tower has their eyes on you. You also earn the MOST WANTED badge at that point, and your next long-term bounty target becomes 10,000 for BOUNTY ELITE.
