Prison and escape videos have a built-in story: someone locked up and a way out. The thumbnail should show the walls, the guard or warden, and the player plotting the escape.
Iron bars or a cell wall in front of the player says "prison" before a word is read.
A guard, villager or the Warden itself makes the stakes a character instead of a setting.
A pickaxe, a tunnel or a smirk. Escape is the payoff viewers click for.
