Big Walk Locked Up Puzzle

A concise location and communication route for the brush-side locked-room challenge.

Table of contents

Quick answer: press both wall buttons to unlock the Red Blob, use the hidden button, then have the separated players communicate the wall-symbol order needed to escape.

Find the locked room

The puzzle is in the middle of the brush. Look for the red room and its visible wall symbols. If the vegetation hides the approach, open the interactive map, filter to Puzzles, and select Locked Up Puzzle.

A red locked room contains wall symbols and handled controls
The red interior and symbol wall identify the Locked Up puzzle; this image does not show an escaped group.

Open the reward and escape

  1. Before splitting up, agree how you will number the wall-symbol positions.
  2. Locate and press both buttons mounted on the walls.
  3. Confirm that this unlocks access to the Red Blob inside the room.
  4. Search the puzzle space for the separate hidden button and activate it.
  5. The player who can see the symbol order calls one position at a time.
  6. The other side repeats the order before entering it to open the escape route.

The recorded reward is a Red Blob. The symbol order should be read from the current attempt rather than copied as a fixed code.

If the group remains locked in

Recheck that both wall controls were pressed and that the hidden control was actually activated. Then compare the symbol order from position one, using the same reading direction on both sides. Follow any extra active target visible in the selected world; exact per-world counts have not been captured here.
