free roam
Go anywhere mode
Free roam describes unrestricted movement through a space, most often in video games where players can explore the environment at will rather than following a linear path: The game offers hours of free roam before the main story kicks in.
Outside gaming, it applies to animals or people given freedom to wander: The chickens have free roam of the yard.
