Best Big Walk Tower Order and Progression Route
A practical route through the drawbridge, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue and Black progression without pretending Big Walk has one mandatory order.
Recommended order
- Opening challenges and drawbridge — unlock the main island.
- Red Tower — open the Map Room and collect navigation tools.
- Green Tower — activate the chairlift and reduce later climbing.
- Yellow Tower — open the tunnel network.
- Blue Tower — activate the train.
- Black Tower and wall — enter late-game progression.
- Black Sphere — reach the first ending.
- Cleanup and seven purple challenges — reach 100% and the complete ending.
Is the order mandatory?
No. After the opening area, challenge rewards are not permanently tied to the nearest colored tower. The order above is a convenience route: each transport system makes later travel easier.
Why Red first?
The Map Room turns vague exploration into informed decisions. Its large map helps identify unfinished challenges and unsubmitted rewards; the portable map and compass improve field navigation.
Why Green before Yellow and Blue?
The chairlift creates a useful high route toward other tower regions. Yellow's tunnels and Blue's train then add different shortcuts. If your group finds Blue first and wants the train immediately, doing Blue before Yellow is valid.
How to diagnose “what next?”
- Partly shaped key: finish its remaining cutters.
- Solved puzzle but tower count unchanged: recover and submit the physical reward.
- No idea what remains: return to the Map Room.
- Transport still inactive: the corresponding key route is incomplete.
- Reached credits: revisit unfinished challenges and look for the purple post-game set.
