I don't believe they ever can. With many of the killer backstories ending in their own demise, I see the Entity as a form of afterlife. The survivors are lost souls of those who have passed and are trapped in their own personal hell. I like to think the exit gates merely lead to another map where they are forced to repeat all over again. Even death just puts them somewhere else- enduring the pain but never getting away. This would explain how the survivors- no matter their backstory or education- are able to repair generators. Claudette, for example, would not otherwise have the knowledge to repair generators unless they have done so repeatedly before and learned via trial and error. The more they are subjected to their own personal hell, the better they are at escaping- aka, the ranking system. The killers are in no better position. Clown, for example, loves to kill. However, he is always up against four survivors who have repeatedly escaped the Entity's lair. Hag was an innocent person prior to their trauma, same with Spirit. The killers are either forced to relive their trauma's and the worst emotions they faced during their lives, or be constantly outwitted and scammed out of doing the one thing they love to do- kill.
That's my opinion anyway! No one can escape the realm. Only avoid as much pain as possible before having to do it all again.
Im not saying this to make you feel bad or the like, and only for thinking on, but the entity can't be a form of afterlife. It may have such capabilities (Rin AKA Spirit for example) but most if not all of it's inhabitants disappeared, even if they were in some public disaster (For example, Adam. He was in a public disaster with plenty of people, but his body had just disappeared). It seems more like it snatches them away on the brink of death into it's own "dimension" where it has complete control.
Killers follow a similar setup. Some on the verge of death (Rin, again), some just never are seen again (Ghostface presumably, trapper, wraith, hillbilly). They seem to be more snatched at opportune times than having died.

Well that's an interesting theory but I think ONLY Vigo escaped since in one of blight's addons says this
Vigo's Journal: The journal of a man who claimed to have returned from The Void. The knowledge within has practical applications
"In a wasteland of forgotten dreams and endless routine, the man with a way out is God." — Talbot Grimes
So this indicates that Vigo might have escaped the realm but the question is How?

He didnt escape. The void is a subrealm where discarded killers and survivors go (i cant remember what officially said this, but i know its official). To escape the void would just put you back where you started most likely

Vigo and the Observer have their own pocket dimensions separate from the trial grounds and can choose not to participate.
We know less details about Vigo, but the Observer is currently able to control the fog and do pretty much anything he wants except escape to the real world.

A personal theory of mine is that these two are allowed to do so by the entity and havent really outsmarted it. Its watching them curiously to see what they do. In vigos case it may be curious about itself and letting vigo study it in an attempt to learn about itself.
