Use the claw hammer to bust the doorknob and then parkour out of the window.
Barricade the door then parkour the forget out of the window

You crush the doorknob with the hammer and block the door with the living room furniture before throwing the window open. You dive out and look for something to grab only to realize that you have nothing but a flat wall to work with. You hit the street five stories down shattering your legs and pelvis before being flattened by a street sweeper.

RIP. Revert to last autosave.

Push some furniture at the entrance door and look out of the window, if a building is up close enough then attempt to jump to it.

You push the living room furniture in front of the door as quietly as you can before going to the window. You are five stories up and above the street. No buildings are within jumping distance.

try and get a ladder or a rope/makeshift rope and climb out the back

You look for a way to climb down. You do the common movie method of tying bedsheets together but it only reaches down to the third floor. There is a window about 10 feet to the left on the third floor that is open, but the sheets won't reach that far. There is a narrow 12 inch ledge spanning the length of your floor though, so you could possibly get over there.

Jam the closet door so when you escape out the window they think you locked yourself in the closet

You get a ruler from the kitchen, open the closet door, and shut it. The ruler snaps and jams the door.

You hear a fourth voice in the hallway. It sounds like a woman.

"Hi I'm here for First National Bank and are here to foreclose on this apartment. Do you guys live here?"

Your uncle responds explaining that his late sister lived there with his nephew, but his nephew ran away and he fears he could be inside.

"Oh! No problem, let me open the door."

The door unlocks and bumps against the barricade. Everyone outside utters perplexed gasps. The other men start banging on the door pushing the furniture.

MAKE A MAKESHIFT BOMB AND BLOW stuff UP

kill yourself because you're the most unlucky person alive

Grab some of them firecrackers you left in your room, and light them as you make your escape to cause an awesome distraction

MAKE A MAKESHIFT BOMB AND BLOW stuff UP

You don't know how to make a bomb. You're a kid.

kill yourself because you're the most unlucky person alive

No.

Grab some of them firecrackers you left in your room, and light them as you make your escape to cause an awesome distraction

You don't find any firecrackers, so you just grab your rope and go. You slide along the side of the building fighting the wind and tie the rope to a downspout. While tying it, you hear the voices in your apartment.

"Ha look at this. I bet he's hiding in the closet!" your uncle jeers. You hear a loud crack as they force the door open and a sigh of disgust.

You descend the building by bracing your feet against the wall and walking backwards. You go through the third story window and find yourself in someone's apartment. You can hear water running somewhere so someone must be home.

You kick the door to bash it down and you just hurt yourself.

"WHAT THE HELL?" you hear.

You open the door slowly and eerily say, "Swiggity swoogity, I'm here for the booty!"

A woman peers out from behind the curtain and screams.

Run out of the front door. Quickly.

You turn around laughing hysterically and run out her front door.

You know what to do.

Run the forget away from the building while going down to the main floor, if the door is locked, then hide.
