Big Walk Timer Room: 5-Minute & 30-Minute Solutions
Solve both Big Walk wait rooms: start the five-minute timer without resetting it, then handle the 30-minute purple version after the ending.
Quick answer
For the normal room, press all active yellow wall buttons at the same time to start the five-minute countdown, then stop touching them and wait inside until it reaches zero. Pressing the buttons again resets the attempt. The 30-minute room is a longer post-ending purple puzzle: begin it only when the host can keep the session open, then leave the state alone until the timer completes.

- Safe approach
- Wait without interacting
Start the five-minute room with every yellow button
The normal wait room is near the blue-balloon area in community puzzle lists. Put one player at each active yellow wall button and press them together. The door closes and the display begins counting down from five minutes.
Once the timer starts, the puzzle is patience rather than another code. Stay in the room and stop interacting with the controls.
Do not press the buttons again while it counts down
Repeated button presses reset the state, which makes the room feel broken or endless. Step away from the wall, keep the host session running and wait for zero.
Use the time to talk, organise carried items or check the next route. Avoid clipping out of the room or testing glitches; those are not required for the solution and can create a failed attempt that is harder to diagnose.
The 30-minute room is the post-ending purple version
The longer wait belongs to the seven purple challenges available after the first ending. It follows the same idea at a much larger scale: trigger the room correctly and let the countdown finish without resetting its state.
Start it only when the host can stay online for the full interval. Closing the session, changing host or experimenting with the controls risks losing the attempt and turns a simple wait into another half hour.
Collect the reward before leaving
When the countdown reaches zero, collect the released reward before the group moves on. The normal room produces a red reward; the post-ending room contributes one of the purple-route rewards used for full completion.
If the timer finishes and nothing changes, confirm that every required starting button was active and that nobody touched one during the countdown. Then reset the room once and repeat with one caller controlling the start.
Frequently asked
What do you do during the five-minute timer in Big Walk?
Nothing else is required. After all yellow buttons start the countdown, step away from them and wait inside until the timer reaches zero.
Why does the Big Walk timer keep restarting?
Someone is pressing a control again. Start the countdown once, then leave every button alone until completion.
Is there a shortcut for the 30-minute room?
No supported shortcut is established by the checked sources. The intended solution is an uninterrupted wait, so begin it when the host can keep the session open.
