Colorado Rail Game

Colorado Rail Game is a slow-paced travel experience about riding trains between cities and deciding how to spend your time. You can explore locations, meet locals, visit landmarks or observe the world around you. With no timers or ideal routes to follow, the journey develops through small choices, discoveries and moments.

Choose your traveler

Each character has interests that shape which places bring them the most happiness. Some prefer culture and history, while others enjoy food, nature, social moments or adventure. Your character choice shapes how you experience the journey.

Travel by train

The train serves as your hub between destinations. You can relax, talk to passengers, eat and prepare for the next stop. Conversations and shared stories can lead to discoveries, and you may learn about places that are not marked on the map through people, brochures and stories.

Explore each city

When you arrive, you can leave the train and choose where to go using the city map, which shows both known and unknown places. Each location has its own story, atmosphere and activities. Some invite deeper exploration, while others are for observing; how much happiness you gain from a visit depends on your character’s preferences.

Some places let you take photos or collect stories. These memories become part of your journey and diary, and not every experience needs to be optimized.

Look after yourself

Eating, resting and slowing down help maintain your happiness. Hunger will not end the journey, but ignoring it affects how you feel. You can stock up on food and visit the train shop to keep your character’s satisfaction level high.

As evening approaches, most city locations close. Hotels let you sleep until morning, eat at the restaurant or take a short walk nearby. Resting does not provide bonus happiness, but helps stabilize your journey and keep its rhythm balanced.

Record the journey

Your travel diary records discovered places, photos, badges and memorable moments. Some pages remain empty, waiting for future trips, while others fill with experiences along the way.
