ScapeRune is a realm parallel to Gielinor. It appears to be an opposite world, where many concepts are reversed. For example, fish are caught already cooked, and must be uncooked at an uncooking pot. There are three areas of ScapeRune currently accessible to the player: an island, a prison, and Mr. Mordaut's classroom. The first two players may be taken to by the "Evil Bob" random event, whereas the third the player may be taken to by the Dunce.

Transportation

The player is accosted by Evil Bob, the evil twin of Bob the Jagex cat. He will ask the player if they like fishing or if they want to meet his "pet" Prison Pete, and if the player accepts they will be taken to the island or the prison respectively.

If the Dunce shows up, he will tell the player that they're wanted at the school for a test, which if the player accepts, they will be taken to the classroom.

When you return, a message appears in the chatbox that says "Welcome back to Old School Runescape."

Island

After declaring you to be his slave, Bob will demand fish. Talk to his other slaves to be shown a video clip zooming to the required fishing area. There is one at each compass point, marked by different statues.

The uncooking pot.

A small fishing net may be collected from the beach between the fishing areas, but it will not be kept on leaving the island. Catch a "fishlike thing" and use the uncooking pot to make it raw. Talk to Bob, and he will eat it if it was caught from the correct area.

If the fish was caught from an incorrect area, Bob will eat it, and then say it is disgusting. Each time you feed Bob an incorrect fish, it will take one more fish to get him to fall asleep, and you must keep going to the slave and catching fish to uncook and feed to Bob. For example, if you feed Bob one incorrect fish, it will take 2 correct fish to get him to fall asleep. Making 2 mistakes will require 3 fish to lull him to sleep, and so on.

When the fish has been eaten, Bob falls asleep and the player may escape through the portal, receiving some Fishing experience, or in some cases, Magic experience depending on the action being performed.

On reaching the portal, the player is now reminded to collect any dropped items before leaving.

When you leave, you make a raspberry emote at the slave, "Be seeing you!", and then teleport back to where you were before the event.

Prison

Evil Bob can also teleport players to a prison, where they must speak to Prison Pete in order to discover how to escape. To escape, you must pull a lever, which will tell you which type of balloon animal to pop in order to find a key. The animals are randomly selected and the same one may be picked twice.

Every balloon animal contains a prison key, but the right one must be popped in order to open the first barrier. After getting three correct keys, players are free to escape with Prison Pete and will be returned to where they were, awarded with a small prize.

The varying characteristics between each balloon animal can be easily distinguished from their horns, body width, and tail length.

• 
  Cat
• 
  Dog
• 
  Goat
• 
  Sheep

The "return key" option, the default action for the key, walks directly toward Prison Pete, with no attempt to navigate around obstructions.

It should be noted that the prison bears a striking resemblance to the party hall in Falador, perhaps implying that every location in Gielinor may also exist in ScapeRune.

Classroom

Main article: Surprise Exam

The Surprise Exam random event also takes place in the realm of ScapeRune. The player is transported there by the Dunce, and the area consists of a classroom, with the teacher (and dragon) Mr. Mordaut teaching to a classroom of monsters.

Mr. Mordaut will ask the player two types of questions. One type requires the next object in a pattern to be found. In the second type, he will present fifteen cards and a hint. The goal is to discover three cards related to the hint displayed on the right. The player must then select the three related objects and confirm.

Historical

Originally, on getting to the island, the player was only able to speak cat and required an "Amulet of Humanspeak" from a chest in order to talk to the slaves. While this was an example of Jagex humour based on the Amulet of Catspeak, it wasn't obvious to players who knew nothing about cats. Now, if you ask Evil Bob how he can talk to you, he'll tell you that he's wearing an Amulet of Humanspeak, quite contrary to what it was like then, where you had to get it. This also adds in another piece of Jagex humour on the Amulet of Catspeak in RuneScape. In ScapeRune, Evil Bob is wearing an amulet to talk to humans, attempting to teach the human slaves catspeak, while in RuneScape, humans use the Amulet of Catspeak to talk to cats.

Originally, four fish were required to leave, later two, now only one.

Trivia

• A scrapped random event involving ScapeRune had players visit an alternative version of Lumbridge named "Bridgelum" where they would help the Duke reassemble dead cows from a pile of dismembered parts. It was removed due to being too grotesque.
