Big Walk red and purple challenges: the 15 optional puzzles

You cannot walk with it, but you can hand it to someone who is standing somewhere better.

Form a chain along the route before you start.

Pass the ball to a teammate, move ahead of them, and take it back. Repeat the hand-offs until the ball is in the hole.

The display is telling you where to stand next.

One player carries, one navigates with the map.

Carry the box to each set of coordinates it displays, using the map to navigate, then press the required buttons together.

The flare is a pointer. Someone needs to be where it lands.

Station one player north of the gun before firing.

Fire the flare. The other player follows it to a narrow bay where two rock edges meet the beach; standing under the landing point reveals a hidden box. Press the switch to open it.

If it looks like a tower puzzle you have already solved, it works the same way.

Split into a watcher or listener and a doer, as before.

Seaside counting: count the flashing figures, build the number from symbol tiles and let a teammate read and enter it through the telescope. Blue Slope music blocks: study the four designs at the house, fetch the matching blocks from nearby puzzle areas and slot each one in. Dome microphone: the six-microphone method again, with one listener in the headset chair. Green seat: one player stays seated and listens to a cue while the other finds the remote speaker playing it and triggers the interaction.

This one really is as simple as it sounds.

Bring everyone the puzzle requires and find something to talk about.

Lock yourselves in and stay for the full 30 real-time minutes. Leaving early does not count.

The ball comes from the red golf course, and it still cannot be thrown or kicked.

Plan the route: Red section, mountain pass, Green section, Chairlift east.

Common Sense Gamer’s route: take the ball from the red golf course, go through the mountain pass into the Green section, head up and right to a small rock that gives Chairlift access and ride east, stepping off early so you are not pushed off the mountain. Pass the ball hand to hand through the purple tunnel, then go up and right out of the tunnel to the hole.

Hands are allowed.

Lay the options out in rows on the floor so a gesture can point to a row and a position.

Agree on hand signals before starting. For the nine speakers, Common Sense Gamer lays the sounds out in rows of four, four and one, then uses the left hand for the top row, the right hand for the middle row and both hands for the last sound, raising the hand once per position.

Vague descriptions will not separate 36 similar drawings.

Take every square off the rack and spread them out so all are visible.

With all 36 squares laid out, ask very specific questions about each drawing’s details and keep track of which answers you are sure of. If the green circle does not appear, revisit the ones you marked as uncertain.

It uses the same movement tricks as the main island, including standing on each other.

Walk the route once without the timer and decide who waits where.

Relay the timer through the course, boosting each other over gaps and walls, and place it in the holder before time runs out.

The watcher can answer yes or no, and nothing else.

Ask questions that narrow it down: floor or wall first, then which group, then which light.

The talking player asks yes-or-no questions. The watcher flashes the red button once for yes and twice for no; a burst of flashes means stop and start again. Narrow down to the exact light and press it. Repeat for five lights; a mistake restarts the puzzle.
