Jailbreak is a Cops and Robbers themed game on the game creation platform Roblox. It was created on April 20, 2017 by Alex Balfanz (badcc) and user asimo3089, collectively working under the group name "Badimo". On November 8, 2018, the game achieved over 2 billion visits and two million likes.

Gameplay
There are two main teams, the police and the prisoners. The prisoners try to escape the prison through various methods, including stealing keycards from the police and opening up restricted doors. After escaping from the prison, the prisoners will become criminals and can roam throughout the rest of the in-game world outside the original prison. Once they've escaped, it's the job of the police to arrest the criminals and put them back in jail, making them prisoners again.

Reception
Upon release, Jailbreak accumulated over 80,000 concurrent players and began receiving widespread attention. Weekly updates built a connection with the community, driving more players to the game. Alex Balfanz has said that he was on track to earn "seven figures" in July 2017 and has made millions of dollars from Jailbreak as of December 2018.

Jailbreak is one of most popular games on Roblox, accumulating tens of thousands of concurrent players daily, and dubbed as one of the best games to play on the platform. It has a large international audience with around 65% of players speaking English according to Balfanz. Jailbreak was featured in Roblox's Ready Player One event, based around the release of the movie, though it was met with criticism for the difficulty of the challenge and for a malfunctioning quest involving the train to get one of 4 rewards.
