Big Walk 4166, 1899 Puzzle Solution

Big Walk, the follow-up from House House (creators of Untitled Goose Game), has launched on PlayStation Plus Essential and achieved critical acclaim, earning a 94 on Metacritic—the highest score for any game released on PS Plus Essential on day one. The co-op puzzle-adventure game requires collaborative play to progress, featuring an open world with no quest markers where players must work together to solve various puzzle types, from synchronized switch-flipping to long-distance communication challenges.

The game’s progression system revolves around completing colored towers that unlock different map features. Solving the yellow tower opens an underground tunnel system for easier navigation across the expansive map, while the blue tower unlocks a train and the green tower enables a chairlift—both serving as transportation options. A hidden paint studio, accessed through the tunnel system, offers metallic “shiny” colors for character customization as part of the Big Makeover achievement.

Players have encountered a steep learning curve navigating the game’s mechanics and secrets. Communication tools like megaphones (found on yellow structures throughout the world) help players coordinate across distances. The game contains 12 trophies and achievements to earn, with most unlocked through progression. The true ending requires completing all puzzles in the game, including seven purple puzzles that unlock after the initial ending, requiring significant additional playtime beyond the main story completion.
