Runaway Train is a free-roam virtual reality experience for 2 to 5 players. The 45-minute session places participants aboard a hijacked locomotive on a mission to capture an outlaw. Players move through multiple train cars, using a gatling gun to destroy automated drones and engaging with puzzles that require shooting specific targets to progress. A smelting mechanic allows players to convert metal ingots into tools. The experience concludes with a confrontation against the bandit.
The environment is styled as a Wild West setting, with each train car offering distinct challenges. Players must coordinate to manage resources, eliminate threats, and solve environmental puzzles. The game runs on both PC-based VR systems (HTC Vive, Vive Pro, Vive Pro 2, Valve Index) and standalone headsets (HTC VIVE Focus 3, Meta Quest, Meta Quest 2, PICO 4). Runaway Train is available on the vrCAVE VR Escape Rooms platform, which offers turnkey delivery for venues. The recommended play space is 5m × 6m.
