Happy Easter Freerailers!

First of all, we owe all you playtesters some dates for the next Closed Playtest:

April Closed Playtest: 9 – 12 April

If you are not sure what a ‘closed’ playtest is or are wondering how we playtests be sure to check out this article.

Given it’s Easter we also wanted to highlight that mysterious Easter eggs have been found in C02 (The Jungle).

In our last Closed Playtest, you Freerailers only managed to scavenge 683 Easter Eggs. I’m positive you can do better than that… right? Right?! Consider this a challenge: we need you to clear the carriage before those pesky Scrappers sniff them out. We can’t have Scrappers ruining the 1st Class aesthetics now, can we?! 😉

Egg Hunt Activity

10 Eggs = Yellow Flower Charm

100 Eggs = Yellow Flower Charm

Collect Easter Eggs and Eggs-change them (sorry, not sorry) at the Easter Egg Vendor Machine in carriage C02

Look out for more details on the April Closed Playtest Next Week!

See you on the train!
