The Big Walk microphone puzzle is a multiplayer listening puzzle: seat one player at the chair, spread the other players among the six microphones, have the seated player identify the active mic, then the standing player at that mic presses its button until the meter fills and the reward releases.
The confusing part of this Big Walk puzzle is that there are two microphone-and-chair setups players talk about in similar terms. This guide is for the green speaker-chair puzzle as a multiplayer microphone puzzle where players spread among six microphones. If you came here for the separate six-microphone listening puzzle, there is a dedicated section for that below.

Which Big Walk microphone puzzle this solves
| Puzzle | How it works |
|---|---|
| Green speaker-chair hidden microphone puzzle | One player sits at the chair while teammates spread among six microphones; the seated player identifies the active mic, then the standing player at that mic presses its button. |
| Six-microphone Sound Check-style puzzle | One listener sits under headphones while teammates test six microphones and press the active mic’s button until the green meter fills. |
The green chair puzzle starts at a speaker chair. Sitting in the chair lets one player hear the microphone feed, while the other players spread out among the six microphones so the seated player can identify which mic is active.
Requirements before starting
You need a multiplayer group. One player sits in the chair and listens, while the other players cover the microphone stations.
Walkie-talkies, flares, or external voice chat can make the timing easier, especially if someone gets lost. The intended in-game solution is still to keep a listener at the chair so they can identify the active microphone.
How to complete the microphone puzzle in Big Walk
Start at the green speaker chair
Put one player at the green speaker-chair puzzle and treat that spot as the listening chair for the whole route.
Head toward the blue lighthouse or tower
From the chair area, travel toward the blue lighthouse/tower first so you can line up the longer route toward the microphone stations.
Move toward the green area
Use the tunnel system, the rope bridge, or the overworld path; all three can get you toward the puzzle section, but the tunnels are easier to follow if darkness makes the jungle hard to read.
Find the radio/music-note station
Listen and look for the microphone stations around the puzzle area, where the seated player can hear one active mic at a time.
Search beside the radio station
KEY!
The microphone setup uses six microphones spread around the puzzle area rather than one hidden microphone beside the radio station.
Use the microphone stations as your final landmark; once you reach the puzzle area, stop sweeping for a tucked-away green radio mic and spread players among the six mic stations instead.
Green chair microphone puzzle solution
Seat player A at the chair
Player A sits in the speaker chair and listens for which microphone is active.
Player B and the other standing players spread among the six microphones, with each player covering one or more mic stations depending on group size.
Call from the microphone
When a mic becomes active, player A identifies which microphone they can hear.
The standing player at the identified microphone presses the button in front of that mic.
Take the opened reward
The correct answer fills the meter, and repeating the process until the meter is full releases the reward.
After the correct microphone buttons fill the meter, the puzzle releases the reward. Current guides do not describe this as a hidden cover opening at a microphone spot or as a red finger/totem-like collectible inside a compartment.
Six-microphone Sound Check puzzle route
Seat one player under the headphones
Put one player in the chair beneath the hanging headphones so they can hear the microphone feed.
Spread players across the six microphones
Assign teammates to cover the six microphones, with each player handling one or more mic stations depending on group size.
Test each microphone
Have everyone speak so the seated listener can recognize who is at which mic before the real rounds begin.
Find the live microphone
In each round, only one microphone comes through to the listener.
The player at the heard mic presses the button in front of it to advance the green meter.
Repeat until the meter fills
Continue identifying the live mic and pressing its button until the meter fills and the reward triggers.
Players often call this puzzle Sound Check, and some route lists place it around 3400, 1230. Treat that name and coordinate as belonging to the six-microphone puzzle, not a hidden microphone route beside the green radio station.
Mistakes that block the microphone puzzle
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Nobody stays at the chair | Keep one player seated at the chair so they can identify the active microphone. |
| The traveler gets lost in darkness or jungle | Use the tunnel system, rope bridge, lights, or a flare plan to keep the route readable. |
| The button is pressed too early | Wait until the seated player identifies which microphone is active. |
| The button input is too short | Press the active microphone’s button so the meter advances. |
| The six-mic puzzle gets mixed in | Use the meter-and-headphones method for the six-microphone setup, with teammates spread among the mic stations. |
Most failures come from treating the microphone puzzle like a nearby button puzzle. The chair is the listening half of the setup; the other players need to cover the six microphones so the seated player can identify the active one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this microphone puzzle be solved solo?
No. Current sources describe the microphone puzzle as multiplayer, with one seated listener and other players covering the six microphones.
Do you need Discord or external voice chat?
No. External voice chat makes coordination easier, but the puzzle is built around the seated player hearing the active microphone through the in-game chair setup.
Is Sound Check the official name of the puzzle?
Sound Check is the name players use for the six-microphone version with headphones and a green meter. Use the seated-listener, six-mic instructions for this microphone puzzle instead of looking for one hidden microphone beside a green radio station.
