Quick answer
Start with the fist tool, break wall blocks, switch to the vacuum, collect rubble, then sell to your cellmate. Repeat the loop while working toward the objective at the top of the screen.
§1. Break wall blocks#
Equip the fist tool and work on the breakable wall. The reviewed PC interface places the fist in slot 1 and the vacuum in slot 2. The official promotional image shows a mouse-click punch prompt. Mobile and controller bindings have not been verified.
Watch the objective at the top of the screen. A visible hole does not always mean a room is complete: the recording explicitly asks players to clear every block to open the next room.
§2. Collect the rubble#
Switch to the vacuum after producing rubble. Watch the bag counter above the tool slots. When the bag is full, additional collection is interrupted and the game directs you to sell to your cellmate.
Collect in batches that still leave you time to return if a search warning appears. A large pile of rubble can hide small wall remnants, so alternate between cleaning and checking the objective.

3 sections§3. Sell to your cellmate#
Take the collected rubble to your cellmate and sell it. The official description confirms this destination, and the reviewed footage shows green sale notifications with money values.
Use the bag meter and your cash balance as the success checks. Resume collecting after selling. If your cash does not change, confirm that you have actually collected rubble and that you are at the selling interaction.

§4. Stop for guard searches#
When the red CELL SEARCH warning says “Get back to your cell!”, stop working and take the route back immediately. Keep following the search status before resuming the loop. Read the dedicated guard guide for the warning sequence.
