Big Walk: What to Do After the Tutorial
Leave through the large archway, complete the four beach-area challenges, insert their red pieces, shape the golden key and lower the drawbridge.
The useful answer
Leave through the large archway, complete the four beach-area challenges, insert their red pieces, shape the golden key and lower the drawbridge.
Step by step
- Exit through the floor-to-ceiling arch.
- Use the nearby crane, telescope, blue house and green scaffold challenges.
- Return four pieces to the beach panel.
- Follow five key cutters and unlock the bridge.
Why players get stuck here
The island opens only after these four specific puzzles; later towers can accept rewards from many different challenges.
The four opening challenges
- Yellow crane: stack players so the upper player can press the button underneath.
- Spyglass and red light: one player holds the nearby control while another follows the indicated direction.
- Blue symbol house: the inside player describes symbols for the outside player to arrange.
- Green scaffolding: players coordinate the separated buttons within the timing window.
Return every red piece before shaping the key. Solving a mechanism does not count if its physical reward is still lying at the puzzle.
Verify it before moving on
When the game gives no marker, pick one visible landmark, describe what each player can see and test a single idea together. That communication loop is the intended navigation system, not a sign that the group missed a quest prompt.
