## What is The Keyway?

The Keyway is a prison escape sliding puzzle where you shift barriers, unblock the route, and lead the Prisoner to the exit. Read the Cell and drag each barrier only along its channel to open a path through the prison hardware.

THE BREAK

Work through 100 named Cellblocks, each containing 20 Cells, for a 2,000-Cell campaign. Every Cell has a verified optimal route. Match it to earn an S grade, or take your time and solve it your own way. There are no timers or move limits.

YARD TIME

Step outside the campaign with an endless, unranked mode containing 2,048 distinct layouts. Skip any Yard Time layout without penalty.

FEATURES

• 2,000 campaign Cells across 100 named Cellblocks
• 2,048 distinct Yard Time layouts
• Simple channel-based sliding controls
• Verified optimal routes with S grades
• Inside Help for up to three exact route moves
• 18 Game Center achievements
• Normal gameplay works offline after installation

Full Access is an optional one-time purchase that removes interstitial and rewarded ads, provides unlimited Inside Help, and lets you open the immediate next Cell without watching an ad. It does not complete Cells or change puzzle difficulty.

Online services such as ads, purchases, restoration, and Game Center require a connection.
