How to unlock the Wrapped Up achievement in The Escapists - Definitive Guide

Here is a video of how I got the Bulbs and Crafted the Fairy Lights for the tree. This was the hardest item in the Sweatshop DLC to obtain in my opinion so I made this video -


If it helps you out please give the video a like.. thanks!

It's easier to already craft the presents and take the lever and then go for the lights. You can just take the lights and immediately escape afterwards.

Ah, good strategy. I didn't think about digging a hole since the guards are all over the place. My idea was going to be turning off the electricity and cutting the wires at night, but yours is far safer. +1

Is there a specific time that the guards quit patrolling the room you are digging from? I've tried after light's out and at various times during the day but always get busted. Its been a while since I played the base game but I'm pretty sure there is no way to hide the hole from the inside (other than using dirt, which I don't think the game lets you do if there isn't another exit).

Just watched the video again and have no idea how the guards didn't find you while you were in the hole waiting for 1am (I assume). They seem to patrol constantly in my game, yet you were in the room and tunnel for nearly 2 in game hours free and clear.

I also didn't have much luck with the digging method. I found it easy enough to wait until night, and use a Plastic Cyan Key to get to the generator near the mess hall, turn that off and then book it to the fence and cut a hole in it with Wire Cutters.

Using that method I was able to get the Bulbs fairly reliably, however, the whole thing still took way more tries than I care to remember because I had a hell of a time getting back to my cell with the Bulbs since the guards will instantly teleport you to solitary if you enter their light cone. You just have to Metal Gear Solid your way past them, which can be a bit tricky.

Very RNG. Just make sure to remember that you can only dig the last hole at night time and you must be dressed up as a guard. And don’t forget to cover up the last hole once you’re back into the tunnel.

Also, I suggest that once you get the fairy lights piece you stay in the room with the computer to avoid getting caught on the way back. The guards cannot get into this room. Just wait until roll call and behave well for the rest of the day.

Don't know how people were getting caught, never seen a single guard ever go in that room while digging or using the computer

This is maddening! It's groundhog day for me. I keep getting caught by guards. It's not anyone's fault but my own mixed with RNG. :( I get the bulbs, they find the hole while I'm in the tunnel. This happened twice. Then, I finally got the bulbs, covered the hole, escaped the building, and at the last-second, a guard (whom I was behind, mind you) saw me. I keep repeating the day...I hope I get this soon. It's driving me crazy just waiting the day out.

Easiest way for me was to dig the tunnel from the upper right room to the left gate area then dig up at night with guard uniform on then cover the hole in the gated area and leave the bulbs in the tunnel. If you get caught leaving the bulbs wil still be there so just craft a lightweight shovel redig the tunnel opening and take an easy stroll back to your cell with the bulbs .

To make Fairy Lights you need to craft with the materials bulbs, wire and a battery. The wire and a battery can be obtained by stealing from inmates desks. The bulbs are in a desk protected by an electric fence. In preparation for getting the bulbs you will need to copy the cyan, craft some sturdy cutters, and craft a fake fence panel. You will also need to be able to get out of your cell so either get a yellow key or make a hole in the back wall.

After the evening Roll Call, go back to your cell for lights out. Sneak out of your cell, enter the main area with seats and then use your cyan key to access the generator. Shut it off and quickly make your way out of the north doors, up the centre path, then round the left hand side of the building with the Christmas tree in it. The electric fence is now turned off, and you will have just enough time to cut a hole in the fence before it comes back on. Sturdy cutters means only 4 cuts on the fence. The bulbs are in the desk here with the tree on it.

Return to your cell. In the morning craft the fairy lights, then go and place them on the tree (press ). This could be done before returning to your cell in the night period but it's an unnecessary risk.
