The most ingenious puzzles in Big Walk are the ones that seem physically impossible at first glance. You’ll encounter objects too heavy to move and ledges too high to reach. The solution is never a hidden tool or a secret path; it’s your teammates. These challenges are designed to be conquered not by a single player, but by a coordinated group acting as a single unit. Mastering them requires understanding two core cooperative techniques: the human conveyor belt for heavy objects and the player stack for vertical tosses. These aren't just clever physics puzzles; they are the ultimate test of your team's communication and cohesion.
The Human Conveyor Belt: How to Move Immense Objects
Every so often, you'll stumble upon an item that, when picked up, grinds your movement to a halt. The game describes it perfectly: a 'really heavy thing that doesn't let you move'. You can't run with it, you can't jump with it, and throwing it sends it tumbling just a few feet away. This is a clear signal that you’ve found a Heavy Item Puzzle. These objects, like the giant golf tee, are designed to be moved by a team working in sequence.
Form a Chain and Pass It Down
The strategy is simple but requires precision. Instead of one person trying to awkwardly shuffle the item forward, your team needs to form a human chain from the object's starting point to its destination. The process is a simple relay:
- Line Up: Have your teammates create a line between the heavy object and its target location, like the flag and hole for the golf tee puzzle. Don't stand too far apart; you need to be within easy handing distance.
- The First Pass: The player closest to the object picks it up.
- The Hand-Off: That player immediately turns to the next person in line and hands it off. The receiver must be ready to grab it instantly.
- Repeat: Continue passing the object down the line from one player to the next. The player at the end of the line will then be able to place it in its receptacle.
With two or three players, this is a slow but steady process. With a full team of four, it becomes a surprisingly fast and efficient conveyor belt. The key is rhythm and proximity. Don't even think about trying to cheese it by having one player carry another who's holding the item—the game is wise to that, and the object's weight makes it impossible.

Gaining Altitude: The Player Stack & Toss
Big Walk's other major cooperative challenge involves verticality. You'll find yourself needing to get a smaller, throwable item—like a basketball—into a hoop or onto a ledge that is well out of reach for a normal throw. Brute force won't work. This is a Team Toss Puzzle, and the solution is to build a human ladder.
Build Your Tower of Power
This technique requires turning your team into a temporary, living platform. It’s a multi-stage process that demands a bit more coordination than the heavy-item relay, as it involves both stacking and passing.
- Establish a Base: One player needs to act as the solid foundation. They should stand directly below or slightly in front of the target.
- Stack Up: The other players then jump on top of the base player, and then on top of each other, creating a two- or three-person-high tower. The player with the best vantage point should be at the very top.
- The Upward Relay: The item starts on the ground. A player on the ground (or the base of the stack) picks up the object and tosses it to the player above them. That player catches it and, in turn, tosses it to the player at the pinnacle of the stack.
- The Final Shot: The player at the top, now with a significant height advantage, can easily make the final toss into the target hoop or onto the high ledge.
This method transforms an impossible shot into a manageable, multi-step play. It's a beautiful example of the game's core philosophy: create your own solutions using the most valuable tool you have—each other.

Why These Puzzles Are the Heart of the Game
These cooperative mechanics aren't just isolated challenges; they are the purest expression of Big Walk's design ethos. The game's proximity chat system already encourages you to stick together to communicate. Heavy Item and Team Toss puzzles take that a step further, making physical proximity and coordinated action mandatory for progression. You can't just talk about a solution—you have to physically enact it, shoulder to shoulder.
These moments force a different kind of communication. It becomes less about grand strategy and more about immediate, tactile commands: 'Okay, take it now,' 'A little to the left,' 'Get ready to catch.' They are brilliantly designed to create scenarios of chaotic, hilarious, and ultimately satisfying teamwork. They are the moments where a group of four goofy, abstract creatures truly becomes a team.

The Takeaway
When you encounter a puzzle in Big Walk that seems insurmountable, resist the urge to look for a hidden lever or a missing item. The answer is almost always standing right next to you. Whether you need to form a chain to move a massive object or build a tower to reach a new height, the solution lies in collaboration. These puzzles aren't roadblocks; they're invitations to connect, communicate, and conquer the world together.
