Prison Escape Simulator: Dig Out is a wacky and chaotic digging game that blends treasure hunting with prison escape antics. Whether you’re a first-time player or already a few escapes in, understanding the item system, Jeremy quests, and how to maximize TP (Toilet Paper currency) will massively boost your success rate.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about item rarities, values, Big Jeremy requests, and how to optimize your digging runs.
Prison Escape Simulator Dig Out Beginner Guide to Items, Quests & TP Farming
1. Item Rarity & Value System Explained
As you dig, you’ll uncover a wide range of loot—everything from rusty cans to solid gold statues. Items are color-coded by rarity, which loosely corresponds to their value in TP (Toilet Paper), the in-game currency.
Here’s the breakdown:
🪨 Common (Gray)
- 3 TP – Boot
- 3 TP – Can
- 4 TP – Rubber Duck
- 4 TP – Soap Bar
- 4 TP – Wrench
- 5 TP – Lighter
These are your basic throwaway items. While not worth much, they still add up early on—especially if Big Jeremy is paying for them (more on that later).
🟩 Uncommon (Green)
- 5 TP – Canteen
- 6 TP – Old Coins
- 6 TP – Padlock
- 7 TP – Flashlight
- 8 TP – Watch
- 9 TP – Flare Gun
- 10 TP – Binoculars
- 10 TP – Candlestick
- $1 – Bronze Coin (direct cash pickup)
These are a solid mid-tier. They’re more common the deeper you go and are often requested in quests.
🟦 Rare (Blue)
- 12 TP – Goblet
- 13 TP – Golden Plate
- 14 TP – Silver Ring
- $2 – Silver Coin (direct cash pickup)
Rare items sell for a decent chunk and become more frequent the deeper into the hole you go.
🟪 Epic (Magenta)
- 15 TP – Bronze Statue
- 16 TP – Golden Ring
- 16 TP – Silver Idol
- 18 TP – Skull Ring
- $3 – Gold Coin (direct cash pickup)
These are ideal for stacking TP fast and feature in some of Big Jeremy’s higher-paying quests.
🟨 Legendary (Yellow)
- 18 TP – Silver Statue
- 20 TP – Golden Statue
- 23 TP – Golden Idol
Getting these means you’re deep into the mine—these items are some of the most valuable before hitting Mythic tier.
🟥 Mythic (Red)
- 30 TP – Gold Bar
The ultimate find. Rare, high-value, and usually close to where the walls are trying their best to stop you.
2. Big Jeremy Quests – Easy TP for Specific Items
Throughout your digging journey, you’ll meet Big Jeremy—a man of simple tastes and very generous pockets. He’ll ask you for specific items and offer cash rewards that far outscale their regular TP value.
Here’s the full list of what he asks for and what he pays:
| Item | Jeremy Pays |
|---|---|
| Soap Bar | $5 |
| Lighter | $7 |
| Wrench | $10 |
| Canteen | $12 |
| Watch | $15 |
| Candlestick | $18 |
| Goblet | $20 |
| Bronze Statue | $23 |
| Silver Idol | $25 |
| Silver Ring | $28 |
| Golden Plate | $30 |
| Golden Ring | $35 |
| Skull Ring | $40 |
| Gold Bar | $50 |
Pro Tip:
Hold onto quest items rather than selling them directly. Even a Soap Bar, normally worth 4 TP, turns into a $5 windfall with Jeremy. Always check his current request list and prioritize delivering those items.
3. Bonus TP Data – One Full Run Breakdown
One dedicated player mined an entire pit and collected everything possible—376 items in total (not counting direct-cash coins). After selling it all, they earned:
➡️ 2,321 TP total
Not bad, but when you realize the final shovel costs 5,000 TP (or 1,500 TP with max rep), it puts things into perspective. You’re not going to win through one big haul—you need consistency, luck, and good management of Jeremy quests.
Also, the devs kindly reset the dig site every time you get busted or leave, meaning you can grind indefinitely… assuming you don’t get caught pushing your luck at the slot machine.
4. Hall of Shame – The Unlootable Zones
Not all loot is reachable. Some areas are blocked by invisible geometry or fake walls that only reveal their secrets when hit with a thrown item like a flare.
In one case, a player discovered a fake wall hiding more dirt and loot. Sadly, most of that was still unlootable due to barriers, but it hints at some hidden dev secrets or bugs. If you’re a completionist, be aware: not everything is meant to be collected (yet).
5. Final Tips for Beginners
- Don’t rush to sell low-value loot—hold onto it for Jeremy quests.
- Explore carefully—some valuable items are buried in odd places or behind destructible terrain.
- Use flares to check for fake walls and sneaky hidden loot.
- Avoid getting caught with loot—you lose everything on the table and in your bag.
- Grind slowly—this game rewards patience more than speed.
Prison Escape Simulator: Dig Out is chaotic, silly, and surprisingly strategic. Learning which items to prioritize, how to handle Big Jeremy’s requests, and where to dig deepest can make or break your escape (or at least fund your next shovel upgrade).
Now that you know what everything’s worth, it’s time to get back in that hole and start collecting. Just don’t let the guards catch you with a gold bar in your pockets.
