Big Walk 4+ Player World Explained

The useful answer

Use the 4+ world only when at least four players can reliably return. It supports the busiest challenge variants and still allows up to 12 players.

Step by step

Confirm four regular players before creation.
Select 4+ at the host screen.
Use short role names and a fixed regroup point.

Why players get stuck here

Starting 4+ for a launch-night crowd can strand the save when only two or three friends return next week.

Verify it before moving on

Before inviting everyone, agree on the host, world size, voice or text preference and the next session time. Those four details prevent most groups from losing progress or creating a world they cannot continue.
