Dig to Escape is a popular Roblox survival and escape simulator where you dig through your prison cell floor to find items, trade them, and ultimately plan your great escape. One of the most sought-after conclusions is the Kitchen Ending (Ending #3), a thrilling alternative path that leads you through the prison’s underbelly to the rooftop. This guide will walk you through every step to unlock this ending, claim your Diamonds, and earn the exclusive Rooftops Escape Badge.
What is the Kitchen Ending?
Released in the November 15, 2025 update, Ending #3 offers a new, non-linear escape route. Instead of digging directly out of your cell, you use gathered resources to access the Kitchen and its ventilation system, culminating in a parkour-filled rooftop getaway. It’s a solo-friendly ending that rewards planning and efficient trading.
Prerequisites & Essential Items
Before attempting the escape, you must gather two key items using the game’s currency, Toilet Paper (TP).
Toilet Paper Requirement: You need a minimum of 300 TP in total.
Illegal Keycard (200 TP): This card is sold randomly by one of four inmate NPCs located in the main prison corridor leading to the Cafeteria. Their stock is not permanent, so you must find and trade with the inmate currently offering it.
Crowbar (100 TP): This tool is purchased inside the Kitchen itself, from the frozen chef NPC behind the freezer door.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow these steps precisely to trigger the Kitchen Ending.
1. The Initial Grind: Gathering Toilet Paper
Start in your cell. Use your shovel to dig up items from the floor. Leave your cell and follow the main corridor, selling all found items to the various inmate NPCs along the way to accumulate TP. Use the lunch break period to restore your energy if needed. Your initial goal is to reach at least 200 TP.
2. Purchasing the Illegal Keycard
With 200 TP, locate which of the four trading inmate NPCs in the corridor is currently selling the Illegal Keycard. Buy it immediately. You now have the key to the next stage.
3. Entering the Kitchen
Head to the Cafeteria. On the left side, you’ll find a secured door. Use the Illegal Keycard on this door to unlock and enter the Kitchen area.
4. Getting the Crowbar
Inside the Kitchen, locate and enter the Freezer. Here, you’ll find the frozen chef NPC. Purchase the Crowbar from him for 100 TP.
5. Through the Vent
Within the Kitchen/Freezer area, look for a ventilation cover. Use your newly acquired Crowbar to pry it open. Enter the vent and follow the linear path. It will lead you to a Janitor’s Room.
6. The Final Ascent
From the Janitor’s Room, find and ascend the ramp or stairs that lead up to the Prison Rooftop. Once on the roof, approach the final door or exit point. Interacting with it will trigger the escape cutscene.
7. The Escape & Reward
After the cutscene, you’ll need to complete a short parkour sequence to evade guards and finalize your escape. Upon success, you will receive:
15 Diamonds: Used in the lobby to unlock new character classes.
Rooftops Escape Badge: A permanent badge for your profile showcasing your achievement.
Important Note: While you can replay this ending, the Diamonds and Badge are a one-time reward per account.
