The Moment of Silence Hints
Once I've done that, how do I get out?
1 of 7: It's not going to be so easy as merely hiding the "tracker tooth" somewhere and then escaping while the guards go after the tooth. You want them to think Peter is dead, not just escaped, so they won't hunt for him.
2 of 7: First off, remember that all great prison escapes traditionally happen at night. You'll want to do things the same way.
3 of 7: Go outside to the exercise yard to see if it's nighttime or not. If it isn't, go back to Peter's cell and do the old sit-on-the-plank-bed routine and go back outside again.
4 of 7: Once you're outside at night, you need to figure out how to get your "tracker tooth" to go one way while you go another.
5 of 7: After your "tracker tooth" is properly disposed of, you need to get Peter over the wall.
6 of 7: Run over to the corner where the tree is blowing back and forth and click on it.
7 of 7: Now that the prison defense systems can't detect Peter at the wall, he can get over it and get away. (Thank goodness the prison's search-and-destroy team is too dumb to realize at first that the magpie couldn't possibly be Peter!)
