Big Walk Guide

Video guide library

23 videos and about 869 minutes of footage. Every one was found through YouTube search, and the titles, channels and durations come from real metadata - none of it is invented, and the thumbnails are the original ones (stored locally, so you are not waiting on a third-party request).

Click a thumbnail and it plays inside this page, no leaving required; if you want to keep it open, the bottom-right of each card links to the original on YouTube. Video is fast to watch, but reading the guide first is usually faster - in a video you still have to find the right minute yourself.

Official videos

4 videos

Published by House House / Panic themselves. For anything about mechanics, go to the official source; but a trailer only shows you the mood, so do not infer a puzzle solution from it.

Per-puzzle guides

Full runs and endgame footage

3 videos

The complete clear. Use these when you need to scrub a timeline to find one particular room - and prefer the one that records only the easter eggs and the true ending, which is far more useful than the 6-hour full run.

Watched the video and still stuck?

Use the per-tower written guides - each one includes a blocker checklist, which is where the "why am I stuck" questions get answered.
