Big Walk Map and Locations

How to Unlock the Big Walk Map

The Map Room is a large blue building with a long red staircase near the first radio tower. ScreenHype reports it at approximately 3560, 1425, below the Red Tower at approximately 3670, 1400. Groups normally reach this area shortly after lowering the opening drawbridge.

Complete the five puzzles around the Red Tower and place their red puzzle rewards into the tower mechanism. Take the Golden Key revealed behind the control panel, then carry it through the five Key Cutters indicated by the arrow on the key. Insert the finished key beside the Map Room door.

Take the foldable paper map from the desk once the room opens. The handheld map includes the numbered grid used by coordinate puzzles, while the room’s large floor model is useful for understanding the island’s overall shape. The compass and three laser pointers in the room help a group coordinate from separate viewpoints.

Main Tower Locations and Unlocks

Red Tower

3670, 1400 — unlocks the Map Room

Yellow Tower

3310, 1560 — unlocks the tunnel system

Green Tower

3930, 1900 — unlocks the chairlift

Blue Tower

3540, 1850 — unlocks the trains

Each colored tower route uses the same broad progression. Find and complete five nearby puzzles, bring their rewards to the tower, release a Golden Key, and prepare that key at the marked cutters. The destination for the finished key is a nearby facility rather than the tower itself.

The towers do not have a required color order after the main island opens. For easier navigation, use Red → Green → Yellow → Blue: Red reveals the map, Green opens the chairlift toward high ground, Yellow connects regions through tunnels, and Blue starts the train loop. Swap the last three if another transport route suits your group better.

Trains, Chairlift, and Tunnels

The chairlift main station sits beside the Green Tower at approximately 3950, 1950. Prepare the Green Tower key and insert it into the station keyhole to start the lift. The route reaches high terrain and the southern challenge area, including the region associated with purple post-game puzzles.

The main train station is built into the mountainside northwest of the Blue Tower at approximately 3380, 1740. Activating it starts red, yellow, and green trains that travel around the same loop. A lever in the first car must be held to stop a moving train.

The Yellow Tunnel entrance is southeast of the Yellow Tower at approximately 3500, 1620. Unlocking the Yellow Door opens the broader tunnel system and colored doors around the main area. Once open, the tunnels provide direct links between major regions.

Useful Map and Navigation Items

The paper map and compass are the core navigation pair. Use visible towers and transport structures as landmarks, then check the grid when a clue supplies coordinates. A GPS or coordinate tracker in the red square building below the Green Tower provides exact live coordinates for more precise searches.

Laser pointers appear at tower tops and in the Map Room, allowing a player with a wide view to mark distant targets. Flares and reusable flare guns create visible signals, while binoculars at the tower tops help inspect a route before the group splits up. Whiteboards near the Map Room can hold messages for teammates.

Long-distance communication still follows the game’s built-in rules. Walkie-talkies can be found at several yellow frames around the island, and radio transmitter or receiver stations appear at points of interest. Megaphones on yellow blocks amplify voice over a very long distance but do not replace navigation planning.

Backpack and Hip Bag Areas

Backpacks and hip bags are found inside blue basket-shaped pavilions scattered around the island. One southeastern pavilion contains both types, while other pavilions hold a backpack or hip bag. The available source material gives conflicting totals, so this guide does not claim a complete item count.

A player cannot simply equip their own bag. Another player must pick it up and attach it to the character, reinforcing the cooperative design. A backpack, hip bag, and hands can together expand what a character carries, although round lanterns cannot hang on a bag.

Useful search regions include the hills around the Red and Green towers, the area northeast of the Map Room, the far-eastern coast, and the southeast corner reached by chairlift. One purple hip bag is inside the tunnels, so it requires the Yellow Tunnel route or access through the connected colored passages.

How Puzzle Locations Are Organized

The five Red Tower puzzles sit around the Map Room route and nearby forest or coast. They include tasks built around separated viewpoints, timed objects, passing items, throwing, and communicating across barriers. Completing all five releases the key needed for the map.

The Yellow Tower region focuses heavily on sound, symbols, and describing positions between separated rooms. Green Tower puzzles include memory, synchronized actions, observation, and counting. Blue Tower puzzles feature locked rooms, an obstacle course, blind navigation, symbols, and performed gestures.

Use the tower itself as the anchor when searching for an unfinished puzzle. Each solved challenge provides a red control-panel piece that belongs to the corresponding tower route.
