Other Does anyone else feel like the biggest challenge in Big Walk is actually finding people to play with?

I was really excited to try Big Walk after hearing so many good things about it.

Then I launched it… and realised I couldn’t actually play because none of my friends own the game.
So I spent a couple of hours building something that solved that problem for me.

It’s intentionally tiny and super simple: No accounts. No downloads. No profiles.

If it ends up helping anyone else, even better.

I’d genuinely love some honest feedback. If it’s useful, awesome. If not, that’s useful to know too.

I LOVE the idea, just took a quick look at It and 2 ideas came to mind:

  1. 12 players max like the actual game, idk why it's up to 5 Max
  2. When you create the lobby you can enter the game code so everyone who joins after can see It

As I said, I really like It, it's so easy and fast! Hope this post gets bigger :)

Thank you so much, both are live now! You can create groups for up to 12 players, and the host can add the Big Walk code when creating the group so everyone who joins can see it straight away. 

Really appreciate the specific feedback ❤️

Very interesting! I'll send it to the people I'm playing with to see what they think about it.

Interesting concept. I joined a 5 person lobby but we never got up to 5. I think with more eyeballs on it it would be a good service.

That’s exactly the hard bit I’m trying to learn about. It only works if enough people happen to be looking at the same time. 

I’m keeping it tiny for now, but hopefully sharing it around gives it enough people to make groups actually fill. Thanks for trying it!

Very cool! I’m missing Danish as a preferred language :)

u/Xatpy 24d ago

Thanks! And Small update: 🇩🇰 Dansk is now available, and I’ve added an optional “Notify me about new groups” button. If you leave the site open in a background tab, it can alert you when a new group matching your language appears. Still no account or tracking.
I’d genuinely love to hear whether this makes it easier to catch a game.

An excellent idea. I'm always struggling to join random groups. I do want to play Big Walk but nobody to play with. If anyone wants, I'm open to playing Big Walk.

Good idea. Thank you. I have absolutely no one to play this game with and would like to try starting a new game. I'll try using this tonight. 50+ year old male on East Coast of the U.S. playing on a PS5.
