How to Get the Map and Compass in Big Walk
Unlock the Map Room after Red Tower, find the portable map and compass, read puzzle status and use coordinates without getting lost.
Unlock the Map Room
- Cross the opening drawbridge.
- Solve enough challenges to return five rewards to Red Tower.
- Collect the raw Red key at the tower roof.
- Use the first cutter below the tower and follow its marker to every remaining cutter.
- Insert the finished key into the large blue doorway near the starting hub.
What is inside?
The room contains two different maps. The large map is the better progress tracker: flags and the position of puzzle rewards indicate what has been solved, collected or still remains. The foldable map is portable and helps with coordinates in the field.
The compass points north and is useful when one player gives directions over a walkie-talkie. It does not unlock progression by itself, so leave it behind when a key, light or puzzle object needs the inventory slot.
How to read map progress
- A flag marks a completed challenge.
- An upright reward without a flag indicates an unfinished challenge.
- A reward shown lying down has been collected but not yet submitted.
- Towers and major landmarks provide the clearest route anchors.
Visiting the map also unlocks Big View (called Big Views by some early guides).

The portable map can decode the 4166 / 1899 number puzzle. The GPS found near Green Tower offers a more precise alternative.
