How to solve the 4166 1899 puzzle in Big Walk
This Polygon guide explains how to solve the "4166 1899" puzzle found near the red tower in the video game Big Walk, where players discover a red gourd-shaped item locked in a box beneath a sign displaying the numbers 4166 and 1899. These figures are not random but coordinates on the game's map, requiring players to travel across the island to a specific rock formation to find a hidden button that unlocks the box.
The guide recommends completing the red tower first to unlock an in-game map, then using tools such as walkie-talkies and an optional GPS device to navigate to the coordinates and coordinate with teammates. The button itself is located on a rock near a hill, south of a separate puzzle involving counting faces on monitors, and must be held down continuously while a partner retrieves the gourd from the box before it closes again.
- Big Walk's "4166 1899" sign gives map coordinates, not a code.
- Players must find a hidden button at those coordinates to open the box.
- Map, walkie-talkies and GPS tools help teams coordinate the retrieval.
