Big Walk Blue and Yellow Towers: solutions by puzzle name

There is no trick to find. The room is testing something other than cleverness.

Get the whole group inside before anyone touches a button.

With everyone inside, press the buttons at the same time to lock the room and start the countdown. Stay in for the full five minutes; the reward appears when the timer ends.

Each side of the house has half of what you need.

Decide on names for the tile designs and always describe them left to right.

One player sees a sequence of five symbols and describes them from left to right. The other player picks the matching pieces from a larger set, places them on the pegboard in that order and presses submit. The sequence is random.

The timer starts before you are anywhere near the machine.

Send one player ahead to the machine and work out the climbing route before starting the clock.

Climb the course together, boosting each other over the main wall. One player goes ahead to the machine at the far end; the other carries the timer as far as they can and throws it across. The receiver sets it on the holder before it expires.

The player wearing the head is not the one solving it.

Agree on short commands such as left, right, forward, stop, jump and climb, and give one at a time.

One player puts on the golden headpiece. Teammates talk them through the course with single-word directions until they reach and press the red button at the end.

Glass blocks sound but not sight.

Go through the poses slowly and wait for a thumbs-up before moving to the next one.

The player inside acts out each pose in order. The players outside choose the matching pose tiles in the same order.

Nobody has the whole answer. Each room can only reach its neighbour.

Pass information along the chain in a fixed direction and repeat it back before passing it on.

Destructoid describes passing each room’s tile along the chain, room one to room two to room three, until everyone knows the full sequence, then all players submit it. The guide is written for four players and does not explain the fourth room’s role.

What you see through the telescope will not be there when you need it.

One player holds tiles up outside while the other studies their markings through the telescope and memorises them.

From inside, use the telescope to read the markings on the tiles a teammate holds up. Bring the tiles out and close the door; the pattern then appears on the outside panels. Recreate it with the tiles.

They are too far apart for one person, and too far apart to shout.

Pick up walkie-talkies before you split up.

One player stands at each switch. Count down over the walkie-talkies and press both at the same moment.

The blue telescope uphill is pointing at something on purpose.

Look through it, find what it shows, and send a teammate there.

Go uphill to the left to the blue telescope and use it to spot a second telescope across the map. A teammate travels to that one. Press the buttons at both telescopes at the same time.

Only one microphone is live at a time, and only the seated player can tell which.

Number the microphones one to six, left to right, and test them in order.

One player sits in the headphone chair. A teammate speaks into each microphone in turn. When the listener hears a voice clearly, they signal the number and the teammate presses that microphone’s button. Each correct press fills the meter; a wrong press restarts it.

The pieces are scattered, and there are more of them than you expect.

Split up and check near trees, rocks and rails, including the nearby red region.

Collect all 36 wooden pieces, which come in four visual types, and return every one of them to the wheel.

The speakers are not decoration. Each one belongs somewhere.

One player listens inside while the other plays each speaker and asks whether it matches.

One player listens to the reference sound in each locked booth. The other moves the yellow speakers until each one sits by the booth playing the same sound.

The buttons are laid out as a mirror image of the lights.

Call the light’s position, then translate it before pressing.

Because the layout is mirrored, positions swap: 1 and 3 trade places, 2 stays 2, 4 and 7 trade places, and 5 and 6 trade places. Press the button that corresponds to the lit light after applying that swap.

The answer and the materials are on opposite sides.

Memorise or call out the order, then ferry pieces across on the chair.

Read the five-piece sequence on the display side, carry the matching pieces across using the crescent chair and rebuild the sequence exactly on the other side.

The player who can see the answer cannot press anything.

Number the positions the same way in both houses before starting.

The player in the tile house calls out which tile is glowing. The player in the switch house presses the matching red switch. Each correct press fills the meter; a wrong press restarts the sequence.
