Draft:Flee the Facility

  • Comment: This is just a little game in Roblox. There are no sources that give it any more than a very brief description, or documents its history without comment. Not in th reference list, or elsewhere I can find. It has no chance of survival at AfD. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:04, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Pretty conspicuous prose issues. The lack of a Reception section suggests this isn't quite meeting notability yet. VRXCES (talk) 22:22, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Flee the Facility (colloquially abbreviated as FTF) is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror escape room game developed by A.W. Apps[1] where players must escape without being captured by the "Beast". Up to four players are designated as Survivors, who must escape the facility by hacking several computers before escaping through one of the two exits. One player is designated to be the Beast, who must knock out and capture the Survivors in cryogenic chambers before they can escape.[2] Flee the Facility surpassed 3 billion visits on April 16, 2022.[‡ 1] The game has collaborated with other Roblox games such as Arsenal[‡ 2] and Dress to Impress.[3] The game received a nomination in the 2025 Roblox Innovation Awards in the category "Best Action Experience".[4] It has drawn comparisons to Dead by Daylight and SCP – Containment Breach.[5]
