What Is Big Walk?
Big Walk is a cooperative multiplayer adventure about teamwork and talking, developed by House House — the Melbourne studio behind Untitled Goose Game — and published by Panic. A group of two to twelve friends explores a wide-open bushland island together, solving puzzles that only yield to genuine communication.
There is no solo mode and no busywork checklist. You walk, you talk, you point at weird shapes until someone guesses what you mean. Proximity voice chat makes distance real: voices fade across valleys, echo in corridors, and crackle through walkie-talkies when the group splits up. Puzzles respond by asking you to mime, sing, describe symbols, or transmit codes across the terrain.
- Communication is the game — every puzzle leans on talking, gesturing, or getting creative with tools.
- The island rewards wandering — colorful structures hide tools, backpacks, and tower keys.
- Hangout-friendly — sunsets, chairlifts, and a train loop exist purely because they are fun together.

| Flexible Player Count | Play with as few as 2 players for a focused co-op run, or as many as 12 for an absolute mess. |

Six things to know before you set out
Grab at least one friend — there is no solo mode. Lobbies hold 2 to 12 players and puzzles scale with group size.
Learn the ropes in the starting area: solve the opening puzzles, shape your first key, and cross the drawbridge.
Head out along the red pathway. Towers can be completed in any order, and walking is always an option.
Complete the red tower to open the map room — pick up a handheld map, a compass, and spare laser pointers.
Complete the blue tower to get the train running again, then ride it clockwise around the island.
Find the paintbrush structure near the start so a friend can paint your three segments before you set off.
