Big Walk Colored Peg Puzzle: All 36 Peg Locations & Board Solution

Make sure this is the colored peg puzzle

This page is for the outdoor search puzzle with a circular board full of empty holes and four colours of loose wooden pegs hidden across the surrounding terrain. The entire search stays inside the large red bridge or ring that marks the area.

It is not the small blue-house pegboard with nine wooden symbols on a rack and five slots. That puzzle seals one player inside and uses a spoken symbol sequence; the linked blue-room guide covers it separately.

Colored peg puzzle solution in four steps

Do not spend time turning the board into a picture. Players repeatedly report that the puzzle validates a complete set, not a particular color pattern.

• Count the seated pegs by colour so you know which search zone is incomplete.
• Find nine green, nine yellow, nine red and nine blue pegs inside the red boundary.
• Put each peg into any empty hole on the circular board.
• When all 36 holes are filled, press the red button beside the board.

Where to find each color of peg

Each colour stays close to a different kind of landmark. Split the group by zone and bring pieces back regularly so the board becomes a live counter instead of one growing pile on the ground.

• Green — sweep rock faces, boulders, cliff ledges and crevices, including high and low edges.
• Yellow — inspect living scenery across the enclosure, especially vegetation and wildlife props.
• Red — search the central red structure and its raised beams; boost a teammate where the upper frame is out of reach.
• Blue — follow the large red ring or bridge around the area, checking the top, sides and support beams underneath.

How to find the last missing peg

Count the board by colour before doing another full lap. A shortage of one green peg sends the whole group to rocks; a shortage of one blue peg sends you around the outer bridge. That is much faster than rechecking every object.

For green, follow the outside rocks downhill from the board, inspect the cliff face near the ocean, the top of the large boulder and the far end of the red tunnel. For red and blue, look both above and below the structures instead of staying at ground level. For yellow, circle tree and bush bases in daylight.

The item scanner can help recover a peg that somebody already pulled loose or kicked away, but multiple players report that untouched pegs may not highlight. Use the scanner as a recovery tool, not as a substitute for the first visual sweep.

Does the board need a landscape or color pattern?

No confirmed pattern is required. The circular board and the colour zones look like a map of the enclosure, which leads many groups to recreate rocks, vegetation, the central structure and the outer ring. Community tests show that all 36 pegs can be placed into any open slots.

The landscape connection is still useful as a search hint: the peg colour and icon point toward the type of place where it was hidden. Use that clue to find the set, then stop worrying about its final shape.

Why the red button does nothing

One empty hole is enough to block completion. Recount all four colours on the board, then search only the zone for the colour with fewer than nine. Also check the grass and downhill edges for a peg the group found but dropped before seating it.

When the board holds all 36 pieces, press the red button beside it. The trap releases a red gourd; if nothing happens with a visibly full board, remove the last placed peg, seat it again and retry before assuming the host save is broken.
