We are stoked to introduce the brand new Rec Room Original game, Stunt Runner!
Stunt Runner is an obstacle-based, extreme sports game show set in Rec Room! In this high-speed obstacle course where every second counts, four contestants must sprint, climb, wall jump, mantle, and dodge hazards to survive. Pick the perfect route and execute flawlessly to set a record time and become leaderboard champs!
Join the fun by navigating to your Watch -> Play -> Featured -> #RecRoomOriginal -> Stunt Runner!
Locomotion
We're adding a whole bunch of new locomotion features in our latest #RRO game! In no particular order, here are the new features you have to play with:
- Climbing

- Sliding
If you have thumbsticks, click in the right stick while sprinting to slide
On a keyboard, press ctrl while sprinting to slide
If you’re on PSVR, press the upper, outer face button while sprinting to slide
- Speed-boosting pickups
Run through them to get a temporary speed boost - woo!
- Moving Platforms - that you move with!
Now you can jump onto moving platforms and expect to have a smooth experience as they move you through the world
- Bounce Pads

And finally - for room creators, we’re adding climbing, wall running, bumping and sliding to room creation! We’re having a blast with Stunt Runner, but we think we've only scratched the surface of the experiences you can make with these new mechanics.
Wall Running: Enable by opening the watch and going to "This Room" -> "Setup" -> "Roles". Then set the "Can Wall Run" permission in the "Screens" and "Walk VR" role settings. Wall Running will then be available for any vertical surface to players with that room role.
Climbing: Enable by hitting the Configure tool on your Maker Pen, then selecting the object you wish to make climbable. You'll want to check the "Is Climbable" setting, which makes the object a climbable surface for all players. Note that an object cannot be Grabbable and Climbable at the same time.
Bumping: Enable by opening the watch and going to "This Room" -> "Setup" -> "Roles". There are two separate permissions you can set in "Screens" and "Walk VR" role settings:
- Can Ram allows you to use your velocity to send other pushable players flying!
- Can Be Pushed allows you to be pushed by other players. Enabling this will allow you to be launched by rammers, but also nudged when you and another player are in the same space.
Sliding: This is enabled by default for any downhill surface. If you are sprinting, use the slide input to gain an extra burst of speed. Further configuration options for this feature coming soon!
These are only the first of many Stunt Runner related tools being made available to creators, so keep an eye on our coming releases!
Phew, what exciting stuff... but wait, there's more!
We made some changes to our Moderation Structure:
- You can now access and manage your block list from your profile screen
- New icons by the player name to differentiate between Creator (crown with 3 lines), Co-Owner (crown with 2 lines), and Host (crown)!
- Poorly behaved players with too many reports will be temporarily blocked from the Rec Center. You can regain access by being excellent to other players elsewhere in the game!
Comfort Mode:
A few weeks back we shipped Comfort Mode to provide an option for motion-sensitive players to participate in walk-only rooms. There is still a ton of room for improvement here, so if you’re a motion-sensitive player, consider sending us suggestions for what might make it better for you. You can turn on Comfort Mode by navigating to your Watch > Settings > Gameplay > Comfort Options. We really appreciate your feedback!
