escapability
Capacity for flight
Escapability is the quality or capacity of being escapable—the degree to which something can be gotten away from or avoided.
The term appears most often in discussions of traps, obligations, or unpleasant situations: The escapability of the new tax was limited by strict enforcement.
In gaming and puzzle contexts, it may describe how readily a player can exit a difficult scenario.
