You've got a pickle, a snowglobe and a pool noodle. What will your legendary jailbreak be?

Many real-life prison escapes happened in ways one would not expect. Choi Gap-bok squeezed through a food slot to get out of his jail cell. Jack Sheppard was an 18th century prison break celebrity after pulling off the bedsheet rope trick a few times. Frank Abagnale actually convinced his guard that he was the prison inspector. Three Parkhurst Prison escapees actually created their own master key as part of their legendary breakout.

Compared with those, the task that lies ahead of you should seem like child's play.
You're in jail. Having managed to gather the three items crucial to your escape - those being a snowglobe, pool noodle, and a pickle - you must now conduct your escape plan. How will you do it?

The conditions are:
1. Your plan has to be possible to execute within 12 hours
2. You have to get out of jail in a condition allowing for further escape
3. You have to use all three items
4. You do not have help within the prison

Tell us in a comment how you're going to pull it off, but make sure to fit your plan in 100 words or less! Post your entry no later than Friday, February 20th at 4:59 PM GMT

- 1 post per person, any edits to be made within 3 hours of posting
- Winners will be announced no later than February 27th

We will choose 3 winners - each of them will get a swag bag from Team 17, publishers of The Escapists (incl. a towel, a hoodie and "prison soap") and 5 GOG.com gift codes to aid them in their jailbreak ploy. We’ll also pick honorable mentions and reward them with a GOG.com gift code each!

… I remember being dragged down noisome corridors and unsteady flights of stairs, along the way hearing a chorus of tearful and desolate murmurs. Then the opening of a door. And all turns black.

The jolt of hitting the ground woke me.

Removing the blindfold, I found myself in a gloomy prison cell, alone, with my possessions: a snow globe, a pool noodle, and a pickle.

I was not afraid. Not for a moment. Watching endless reruns of MacGuyver had prepared me for this very moment.

I knew the chemical exp…

I noticed the guards forgot to close the door…

I smash the pickle in my face, creating a green nose, and I pretend to faint in front of a guard. I'm sent to the infirmary, to check this strange disease. There, I use my charm to attract the nurse, I tell her beautiful poems and give the snow globe to her. After a few kisses, I tell her I'm better already, she cured me! She calls a guard to escort me, and while she's out, I make a giant donut with the pool noodle (using the needle and thread, that is used to close wounds). I offer the donut to the guard, he is surprised that I know it's his birthday (what a coincidence) and immediately eats the donut. I put the dead body in my bed, steal his clothes and keys, and cover it with bed sheet. I escape the prison jumping happily while eating the rest of the pickle.

Edit:

100 words or less, ok then:

I would use my noodle to get out of this pickle:
Place the snowglobe just through the bars, using the reflection off its spherical surface to alert me to any guards passing by outside.
Then I would rub my hands together to make them sore, then use this saw to cut the noodle in half.
Two halves make a whole.
Climb through the hole to freedom.
Rubbing the pickle on my sore hands afterwards would prevent infection (due to the vinegar), and biting on a bit of noodle whilst doing this would stop me screaming from the stinging.

Seems too simple, but I would break the snow globe, and use the glass shards to cut the pool noodle into smaller pieces, and cut, and slit through one side of each piece clear through to the centre. I would use paint chips scratched off of the walls mixed with my spit to paint them the colour of the prison, then taking great care stealthily (for example knock on a door, and while asking a stupid, but still thought provoking question of the person who opens the door keeping their attention while I work with my feet) attach one piece to all of the doors so that they can not properly close. Then I would simply eat my pickle as I walked out of the prison.

Too simple? Not if like me you don't like to eat pickles.

Has someone already said that they could build a bulldozer using 3 items? Totally possible, there's a "how to" on MacGyvers book, chapter 12 page 196.

Goodbye world! I remove the bottom of the snowball. I put the pickle inside the glass, mixing my death cocktail. It foams. I quaff it. Surprisingly instead of killing me the drink has a strong hallucinogenic effect. I enter a higher state of consciousness gaining godlike superpowers. Suddenly I can control the mind of everyone in the prison. Through the pool noodle I canalize the overwhelming energy floating through my body. While walking out of prison the guards pat on my back. At the main entrance the director shakes my hand. I erase their memories of me. I'm free!

I choose to eat the pool noodle – because I would be needing a trip to the infirmary. Inside the infirmary I give the doctor the pickle, by this time he’s a pickled doctor. So I call the guards that there is a dill pusher in here, this doesn’t relish the guard at all. When the guard tries to arrest the doctor I smash the snow globe on his head. Guard suit acquired – with the guard uniform I manage to clock out of work – go home to his kids and family and become the new man of the house.

1. Smash snow globe on cell floor.
2. Bang on door.
3. Let guard slip on oily snow globe guts.
4. Steal uniform.
5. Dress pool noodle in prison clothes.
6. Attach pickle nose to complete the illusion.
7. Pretend to be transferring prisoner 'Noodles McPickleson' to this facility.
8. When no record of the transfer can be found, claim that your supervisor must not have sent the paperwork through - bosses, right? Explain that you'll have to escort McPickleson back to, um, Imaginary Prison, in Notreal, er, Montreal, until the paperwork is sorted.
9. Exit the prison.

I made footwear by gingerly halving both the pickle and the pool noodle along their lengths with my fingernails, before stuffing the strips of pickle into the foam. My fashionable sandals caught the guard’s eye and he brought me around the jail for a tour. I acted proud as I showed them off. He led me to the kitchen, where cooks complimented my fashion sense. Then, when no one was looking, I smashed the globe and poisoned the food with snow, thanking Angus from the Phoenix Foundation for the parcel with “everything you need to get out of jail.”

I start by smashing the snowglobe on the floor. Using the shards of glass to cut myself. The glass is then inserted to the pool noodle, making it into a melee weapon.
Next I hang my superficially bloody arms out of the cell and beg for help.

When the guards show up they either slip on the oily floor from the snow globe or I beat them with the glass-sharded pool noodle.

I dress up as a guard and take their keys. I slip into the canteen and make sure the pickle ends up in a prisoner's lunch who hates pickles. I sit back and watch as the disgusted prisoner attempts to confront the cooks and make sure to leave the useful pool noodle near him. As the riot erupts around us all I use that as my chance to simply walk out the front doors acting as a frightened guard.

1- Break the snowglobe and drink the fluids inside it, I sharpen the pickle with a small shard on the floor after breaking the snowglobe.
2- Stomach hurts, I scream in agony and faint as the guard takes me to the infirmary.
3- I wake up with the nurse tending to me and the guard by the door. Fart my pickle out of my rectum into my hands,
4-Stab the nurse in the eye then throw that pickle into the guards neck.
5- I take out my pool noodle and suffocate the nurse with it keeping her from screaming while the blood is gushing out of her eye.
6- I open the window and use my pool noodle to jump through the wired fence.
Posted February 16, 2015
I mash the pickle thoroughly in the keyhole, ensuring that opening the door will be difficult. Then I break down the snowglobe and swallow the toxic contents, bit by bit. To prevent any unwanted vomit to make an exit, I shove the pool noodle down my throat. The guards are struggling to break into the cell, as my spirit abandons its fleshy prison.
