Big Walk Host, Save & Join Code Guide

The host is the keeper of a Big Walk save. Choose that person deliberately: future sessions need the same host to continue from the group's saved progress.

Start a session

1. The host starts first.
2. The host chooses the 2-player, 3-player, or 4+-player version of the world.
3. Friends join from the active friends-game list or enter the Join Code.
4. Once everyone is present, test in-game communication before leaving together.

The game saves the host's progress automatically. There is no manual save step for the group to coordinate.

Find the Join Code

Before starting the game, the code appears in a corner of the host menu. After the session has begun, the host can open the in-game menu and choose Session Details to see it again.

Each new hosted session generates a short, unique code. Share the current code, not one saved from an earlier session.

Use the friends-game list

An active host should appear automatically when the two players are friends on the service used by their current system. If the room does not appear, add the host as a friend on that service or use the Join Code instead.

The Mac App Store version does not support a Game Center friends-game list, so Mac App Store players should join by code.

Change the session password

The host can change the password while the game is running. Open the in-game menu, choose Session Details, and update it there.

Continue later

When the host ends the session, every other player is disconnected. To resume the same journey, have the original host start again and give the group the new Join Code. Changing hosts means changing the save that the group enters.
