13 Days to Escape: New Prison Release Party Start Time & Countdown
The New Prison Release Party is a standing weekend ritual in 13 Days to Escape, RoDark Studios’ prison-break game where you get thirteen in-game days to plot and pull off an escape. Each party drops players into a freshly built prison so the community can tour its cells, yards, and chokepoints together before anyone has to run the place for real. The game draws about about 38,000 players at any given moment and has passed 20 million visits, so these openings tend to fill quickly.
This is not a one-off. The party comes back on a steady weekly rhythm — the developer runs it weekly, always on a Saturday — so there is a reliable moment each week when the next prison opens its doors. The next start time and the usual window are on the card below.

What happens in the New Prison Release Party
Every party is tied to a brand-new prison going live. The point is to explore the map while it is fresh: players pour into the new build, learn its layout, and start mapping the routes, blind spots, and timing that an escape will hinge on. The developer frames it simply — come explore and “plan your escape” — which in practice means:
- A first look at the newest prison before it settles into regular rotation.
- A busy lobby of players scouting cells, yards, and exits side by side.
- Time to test escape routes and work out the thirteen-day plan on unfamiliar ground.
Tips for catching it
Pick whichever Saturday slot above sits in your waking hours and set a reminder for a few minutes ahead of that start time — doing so gives you time to load in before the lobby crowds. If the timing never quite works, there is no rush: a new prison party comes around every week, so the next chance is always close. Going in early also means you get a cleaner look at the layout before the server is packed.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
13 Days to Escape builds its calendar around new prison drops, and the Release Party is the recurring front end for that cycle — the moment a New Prison goes from teased to playable. Where individual prison reveals come and go, the party is the fixed weekly beat players can count on, the standing invitation to show up, scout the latest build, and start planning the break.
