Meeting up / Hosting
Choose the host before the first walk
Big Walk progress belongs to the host. That person starts first, keeps the save automatically, and needs to host again when the same group continues.
What the official guidance confirms
- The host automatically keeps the save and all group progress.
- When the host leaves, everyone else is disconnected; another player cannot continue the same save as host.
- The 2, 3, or 4+ setting changes how challenges are configured. It is a minimum-style tuning choice, not a room-size cap.
- If attendance will vary, the official FAQ recommends choosing the lower expected player count.
