INTERCEPTOR Chapter 1: The Cell Block
A spoiler-aware escape from the holding wing.
Chapter 1: The Cell Block is the entire campaign shipped on 24 March 2024. You leave a cell, cross a surveilled prison-office hybrid, and walk an east exit that will not open until the right files and the right people have moved. This walkthrough assumes you already know controls and the hacking verbs. If you want a blind run, stop here and only use getting started.
Spoiler warning
Named files and guard tricks follow. Puzzle integrity was important enough for the Roblox description to ask for no spoilers. Use the video in the middle of this page if you prefer to watch a full clear without reading names first.
Leave the cell
Read what the game puts in front of you. Update 1 added CellRecordingAccess.scos on a specific someone after community request — treat extra people in the wing as loot tables, not scenery. Intercept the first cameras after you exit. Launch guides mention a camera that later vanished; if a feed is missing, skip it rather than hunting a ghost node.
Close the phone. Every stuck-UI report on launch week happened right after the second camera and the first credential steal.
Security room: three downloads, not thirty
Players who clear Canonical Playthrough I are boring on purpose. In the security room you need:
- Commander credentials.
- Specialist credentials (shutters).
- East entrance access.
Community veterans repeat this because the UI tempts you to vacuum FunnyRecordings, smuggling notes, and joke folders. Vacuuming costs laptop time. On default you can afford a little greed. On High Security you cannot.
Optional but strong:
- CommanderSnoringNoise1.mp3 from FunnyRecordings — load the intercom, peel the east gate pair.
- Donuts — distract a roamer who is not on the gate.
- Engineer / forklift beat if you already got caught once and want the dialogue (not a speed strat).
Names on those machines (Sterling Crown after the Update 1 rename, Samuel Jones in some interceptable profiles) are expanded on NPCs.
Shutters, cones, and the hallway
Specialist credentials exist so you can drop shutters and cut lines of sight. Use them when a cone owns a corridor you must cross. Do not drop every shutter “just in case”; you can trap yourself or alert a loop you had already solved.
Walk the brick hallway like a stealth game: cam, close phone, move, hide. The split artwork on this site’s overview image is that hallway plus the security desk — the two rooms you will remember.
East entrance
The gate is a people puzzle. Two guards do not wander off because you asked. Play the snore file on the intercom so they leave. If you skipped FunnyRecordings, you are fighting the design. This is also why east entrance access as a file is not enough by itself.
After Update 12, a sighting can start a chase instead of a cartoon instant fail. That makes Chapter 1 less punishing and more consistent with later chapters that were planned. It is not permission to sprint. If a chase starts, break line of sight and use Quick Restart if the wing is already cooked. Chase as a mode extra also has its own test level in the extras tab, captured in patch notes.
End of the demo
A successful exit is the chapter. There is no open world after the gate in this demo. Replay for undetected, then raise the stakes with High Security. Extras — INTERSWEEPER and Chase System Test — are separate tiles, not secret doors in the cell.
If the experience is unavailable, the walkthrough still maps the demo you will boot after the 2026 hiatus. Keep official links for the place ID so you do not practice on a clone.
The embedded full guide video is a short community clear. It does not claim to be unseen. For unseen, switch pages after you can finish this route at all.
For ranking which of these tricks is actually S-tier, use stealth routes rather than repeating this walkthrough on every retry.
