About Race the Train
Race the Train is a short 3D driving game with one job: catch a train. You start on a busy highway that runs beside a railway line, and you win by working through the traffic and getting past the train on your left as it heads the same way you do.
The traffic is the problem. Cars, trucks and buses fill the lanes, and each bump against another vehicle adds to your damage. The hard shoulder looks like an easy way around, but it's no shortcut. A timer tracks every run, and you can also rack up a stunt score.
Runs last seconds, so one try leads straight into the next. You can play Race the Train online here with the keyboard and keep chasing a quicker time.
How to Play Race the Train
- Drive with WASD or the arrow keys.
- Head up the highway and look for gaps in the traffic.
- Avoid scraping other vehicles, since every hit adds damage.
- Stay on the road proper; the hard shoulder is no shortcut.
- Get past the train on your left to win, then go again for a better time.
What to Expect in Race the Train
Each run is a quick burst. The train starts ahead, the lanes are packed, and you have a split second to decide whether a gap is wide enough. A clean run feels great, and a messy one fills the damage meter fast.
The setting is a sunny highway squeezed between the sea and the railway, drawn in clean, simple 3D. It's a small driving game built around a single goal, which makes it easy to pick up for a few runs during a break.
Tips for Race the Train
- Look a few cars ahead, not only at the vehicle right in front of you.
- Ease off for a moment to line up a gap instead of forcing through a tight one.
- Keep scrapes to a minimum, since each one counts against you.
- Note your best run time and aim to shave a little off it each go.
- Play Race the Train free as often as you like; short runs make it easy to practice reading the traffic.

FAQ
Is Race the Train free?
Yes. Race the Train is free to play here in your browser, with no download and no account. Runs take seconds, so you can try as many times as you like and keep chasing a faster finish or a higher stunt score.
How do you play Race the Train?
Drive with WASD or the arrow keys. Head up the highway, weave through the cars, trucks and buses, and get past the train on your left to win. Each bump against another vehicle adds damage, so clean driving matters as much as raw speed.
What is the goal in Race the Train?
Catch and pass the train running beside the highway. It heads the same way you do, so you have to make up ground through the traffic and get past it on your left. After that, the challenge is doing it faster and with less damage.
Who made Race the Train?
Race the Train was made by Lockgrid Games and released on itch.io. It's a short 3D game built with Unity. FunClicker did not make it; we embed the creator's own version so you can play here, and we link back to the original release.
Can I play Race the Train on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook or laptop works well, since you drive with WASD or the arrow keys and the game runs in a normal browser tab. A phone without a keyboard is a poor match for this version, because the driving is built around keys.
Is Race the Train unblocked at school?
Race the Train needs only a browser tab, with nothing to download or install. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If this page loads and the highway appears, you can drive. Runs take seconds, so it fits into a very short break.
How long is a run in Race the Train?
Seconds. A run is a short sprint from the start line to passing the train, so you can fit many attempts into a couple of minutes. That makes it a handy driving game for a quick break, and each try teaches you a little more about reading the traffic.
Does Race the Train keep score?
Yes. A run timer sits in the corner of the screen and a damage meter tracks every scrape. Runs also earn a stunt score, so there are a few ways to measure a good attempt: a quicker finish, less damage, or a higher stunt total.
