So you’ve gathered some friends and you’re about to set off on your first Big Walk. This guide covers what to expect and the simple habits that turn a confused group into a coordinated one.
Before you start
- Get at least one friend. Big Walk has no single-player mode. Two players is enough; up to twelve is a happy crowd.
- Decide who hosts. The host holds the save file, so pick someone who can reliably get the group together again. If the host leaves, the session ends.
- A microphone helps, but isn’t required. Voice chat is the intended experience, but text chat works identically if you’d rather type.
Your first few minutes
Take a moment to get comfortable with the basics before rushing off:
- Move and jump to get a feel for your tiny character.
- Grab and kick a few objects — interaction is simple but matters for puzzles.
- Talk and listen. Walk away from a friend and notice how their voice fades. This distance effect is the single most important thing to internalize.
The golden rule: stick together (until you can’t)
Because voices fade with distance, the default is to travel as a group. When a puzzle forces you to split up, agree on a plan before you separate — once you’re apart, communicating gets hard on purpose.
Communication habits that work
- Call out landmarks, not directions. “Meet at the big red rock” beats “go left” when no one shares your camera.
- Use names. With a big group, say who you’re talking to.
- Repeat back. Confirm you heard a plan correctly before acting on it.
- Designate a caller. In larger groups, one person coordinating reduces chaos enormously.
Don’t fear the chaos
Miscommunication is part of the fun. Some of the best moments come from a plan falling apart and the group laughing through it. Big Walk rewards patience and good humor more than precision.
