A look inside the block

How it plays

The progression loop

Short sessions, real idle gains. Commit crimes, gear up, level unlocks new systems, then crew up for raids and territory while your cellmates bank cash in the background.

1
Commit crimes
Tap jobs or set auto-run. Spend Nerve for cash, XP, and gear drops — from gutter change to a full kingpin coup at Level 48.
2
Gear up & upgrade your cell
Equip weapons and armor, install amenities, and upgrade comfort and gym tiers for faster Nerve and Fight regen.
3
Level up & unlock systems
Each ding refills your Nerve bar and grants a skill point. New crimes, cellmates, fights, and the Workshop open on a level ladder.
4
Go idle — come back to a haul
Up to 8 hours of progress is banked server-side. Cellmates stash passive cash; returning players get a full 'while you were away' summary.
5
Fight, crew up & conquer
Spend Fight on three co-op raid bosses, then climb the endless ladder — procedurally generated foes with scaling HP and loot. Auto-fight raids while you're away; 1v1 PvP runs on the same Fight bar without ever touching your crime Nerve.

Feature unlock timeline

Every level-up refills your Nerve bar and grants a skill point. Major systems open on a clear ladder so there's always something new to chase.

L1: Crimes, Daily Contracts, Gangs & Leaderboards
L3: Skill Tree — Muscle, Hustle, Stealth, Influence
L5: Raid Bosses — co-op Fight-powered raids, then an endless ladder
L8: 1v1 Fights — NPCs and real players
L10: Cellmates — passive income crew
L20: Workshop — salvage gear, craft contraband
L28: Endgame crimes — Blackmail the Warden and beyond
L48: Seize the Throne — the ultimate score

What you're in for

Crime never sleeps

Idle income, active fights, crafting, skills, and crew coordination — one prison yard, dozens of ways to climb.

22-crime ladder

From gutter-scraping to deposing the kingpin. Higher tiers gate on gear, amenities, and contraband you craft yourself.

Skill Tree

Spend skill points across Muscle, Hustle, Stealth, and Influence for permanent stat boosts, cash bonuses, and regen. Respec anytime.

Cellmate crew

Recruit seven inmates who stash passive cash every second — online and offline. Collect your haul and upgrade them to Level 50.

Workshop crafting

Salvage duplicate gear into materials. Craft lockpicks, guard uniforms, smoke bombs, and C4 in a timed queue that expands as you progress.

Daily Contracts

Three fresh objectives every day — crimes, fights, boss damage. Clear the set and keep your streak for bigger bonus payouts.

Loot brutal gear

72 weapons, armor, trinkets, and consumables — from a rusty shiv to the Executioner's Cleaver, Warden's Battlesuit, and Kingpin Signet.

Build out your cell

Weight bench, treadmill, false panels, and more. Permanent stat boosts that unlock the highest-tier scores.

Dual-resource combat

Nerve for crimes, Fight for raids and 1v1 duels. Auto-running jobs never drain your Fight bar, so you're always ready to throw down.

Yard Boost

Watch a short ad to fire up Yard Boost — +25% cash & XP from every source and +25% fight damage. It keeps ticking while you're away, and every watch stacks up to 5 hours of boosted haul a day.

Endless raid bosses

After the Yard Kingpin, Riot Captain, and Warden fall, a procedurally generated ladder begins — unique names, scaling HP, and escalating loot every stage.

Gangs & territory

Pool cash into six gang upgrades, fight for map tiles in 14-day territory seasons, find players to recruit, and climb global leaderboards with your crew.

Find players & leaderboards

Search inmates by name, track your rank on global leaderboards, and scout rivals before you throw down in the yard.

The job board

22 crimes. One ladder to the top.

Early jobs teach the loop. Mid-tier scores need crafted contraband and cell upgrades. Endgame heists pay five figures — if you've built the loadout to pull them off.

Cartel Stash RaidL34$11k–24k
Mastermind the BreakoutL40$20k–42k

Four skill branches

Build your inmate your way — brawler, ghost, kingpin, or scholar. One skill point per level-up; respec for a cash fee.

Muscle
Attack, defense, and health for brawlers.
Hustle
Crime cash and drop rates for operators.
Stealth
Success chance and nerve regen for ghosts.
Influence
XP and Fight regen for long-game planners.

Workshop materials

Salvage duplicate gear at Level 20. Craft the contraband that unlocks your biggest scores — lockpicks for the safe, C4 for the vault.

Scrap Metal
Kevlar Fiber
Tread Rubber
Contraband Wiring

Co-op showdowns

Three who run the prison — then the ladder

Unlock at Level 5. Shared health bars, Fight-powered taps with an auto-raid option, and loot split by damage share. Beat all three to unlock the endless raid boss ladder.

Tier 1

50,000 HP · 24 hours

The Yard Kingpin

The inmate who really runs this block. Your crew's first co-op takedown.

Tier 2

250,000 HP · 24 hours

Riot Squad Captain

Leads the guards' crackdown. Can drop rare cellmate recruits on defeat.

Tier 3

1,000,000 HP · 48 hours

The Warden

The final authority. Shared HP, shared loot — only the strongest crews stand a chance.

Endless mode

Then the ladder never stops

Once all three fall, the Endless Raid Boss ladder kicks in. Procedurally named foes — like The Iron Butcher of Block D — with HP and loot that scale every stage. Four-hour windows, seven loot slots, and no ceiling.

Now live — v1.6.0

Yard Boost rewarded power-ups, auto-fight raid bosses, and the new Fight bar.
