Gameplay[edit]
In Jailbreak, the player can choose between being either a police officer or a criminal. As a criminal, the player must escape jail. After the player escapes jail, they can participate in heists to earn cash, which can be used to purchase cars. As a police officer, the player must keep the criminals in jail, and stop heists.[1][2]
Police in Jailbreak must keep watch of the prisoners in jail, or find fugitives in the city. They're allowed to arrest the prisoners if they are in a prohibited area, if they touch the power box in the prison, if they attack a police officer, if they pickpocket an officer, or if they have entered a vehicle. Police who witness a crime have an unspecified amount of time to arrest a prisoner until they are deemed "innocent" again. Police officers who arrest a prisoner who has done nothing will be reprimanded, and doing so four times turns you into a prisoner.
Criminals in Jailbreak must escape jail before they are allowed to do anything else. Criminals can escape by using a key card, using a helicopter, among other options. After a criminal escapes prison, they are free to roam the city. In the city, you have the ability to rob banks, among other buildings. Every time a criminal robs a building, they grow a bounty which can be earned by police officers who arrest the prisoner.
