Dig to Escape Kitchen Ending Guide (How to Unlock the Kitchen Ending Fast)

Dig to Escape is a survival and escape simulator on Roblox where players dig through their prison cell to find a way out.

While most players focus on the standard dig-to-freedom ending, the game also includes an alternate escape route known as the Kitchen Ending.

Added in the Ending 3 update, the Kitchen Ending is one of the fastest and most rewarding ways to escape if you know exactly what to do. This guide explains what the Kitchen Ending is, how to unlock it step by step, and how to complete it efficiently.


What Is the Kitchen Ending in Dig to Escape?

The Kitchen Ending is an alternate escape route that allows you to break out through the prison kitchen instead of digging endlessly underground.

To achieve this ending, you must unlock the Kitchen using an Illegal Keycard, navigate through vents and restricted rooms, and escape via the rooftop. Once completed, a short cutscene plays showing your successful escape.

This ending is ideal for players who want a faster completion and exclusive rewards without committing to a long digging grind.
