How to solve the microphone puzzle in Big Walk
In *Big Walk*, the microphone puzzle asks players to identify the microphone position that produces balanced sound in both ears for a teammate sitting in a nearby chair. It matters because it relies on clear communication and stereo audio, making headphones or earbuds particularly helpful.
The puzzle is found south of the radio station, west of the yellow tower, beside a red platform with six microphone stands. One player should speak into one microphone at a time while the seated player signals whether the sound is in the left ear, right ear or both; the speaker then adjusts position and presses the stand’s button once balanced audio is heard, repeating the process as needed.
In short
- Use headphones to judge balanced stereo sound.
- Speak into microphones one at a time.
- Press each button when sound reaches both ears.
Explained simply
Big Walk is a cooperative game in which players explore together and use voice chat to communicate. Some challenges depend on players hearing and responding to one another, so the way sound is delivered can affect how they work together.
Stereo sound separates audio between the left and right ears. In this puzzle, one player listens from a chair while a teammate tests microphones, using the listener’s responses to find a position where the sound is balanced in both ears. Headphones or earbuds can make that difference easier to hear.
