Count the active coastal-crane switches in your current world, station one operator at each, use one visible ready cue, and recover a mistimed press without scattering the team.
Go to the tall red coastal crane around 3790, 2250 and walk the entire structure before touching anything. Count only the red switch pedestals that are active in your current 2-, 3-, or 4+ player world, then place one operator at every active switch. Pick one caller whose lantern or flashlight can be seen from all stations. Everyone raises both hands for ready; when every station is ready, the caller turns the light on once and all operators press their switches once in the same short window. A pressed switch lights yellow. Do not hold or spam it. The crane/confetti sequence and a red control-panel piece falling from the scaffolding confirm success. If nothing releases, keep everyone at the same stations, wait for the controls to reset, recount them, and repeat one clean visual cue.
The puzzle is on the rocky coast at approximately 3790, 2250, southeast of the Blue Tower and below the Green Tower route. Look for a tall red lattice crane/scaffolding spanning two small coastal sections. Red switch pedestals are spread across the rocks on both sides, including one much farther from the central group.
Travel to about 3790, 2250 and identify the tall red lattice crane between the beach and the rocks. Use the crane, ocean, and red control pedestals together to confirm the location.
You can see the crane/scaffolding and at least one red switch pedestal in the same coastal area.
Walk around both coastal sections before assigning players. Count the switch pedestals enabled in this world, including the distant station across the rocks. Ignore unlit decorative hardware and the separate flare device.
The team has a written or spoken total and can point to every active station, not just the three closest to the crane.
Send free-handed players to the farthest and next-farthest controls first, then fill the nearby stations. Each operator stays beside one switch and reports ready; extra players act only as spotters or runners.
Every active switch has exactly one operator and no operator still needs to cross the rocks.
Stand the caller where all operators can see a lantern or flashlight. Test visibility before starting. The only action cue is one clean light-on event; ordinary distant voice is a backup, not the timing signal.
Every operator can identify the caller and can see the test light from their switch.
Wait until every active switch is back in its starting unlit state. Each operator raises both hands only after facing the switch with an interaction hand free. The caller does not flash until all ready signals are visible or relayed.
All controls are unlit, all assigned players are stationary, and the caller has received every ready signal.
The caller turns the light on once. On that visual change, every operator immediately presses their switch once. The control should turn yellow. Do not hold the input, press twice, or start a second countdown.
Each operator sees their own switch change from off to yellow during the same attempt.
Do not leave or touch the switch again while the short timing check resolves. If the crane does not complete, note which station failed to turn yellow, let the controls return to off, and keep the same operators in place for the retry.
The team either sees the success sequence or knows exactly which station/cue failed without having to redistribute players.
On a valid synchronized press, watch the crane/scaffolding and the gray confetti launchers. Regroup at the base and pick up the red Green Tower control-panel piece that falls from the structure before leaving the coast.
Confetti fires and the team carries the released red control-panel piece away from the crane.
The selected world can expose fewer active controls. Scout first and assign one operator per active switch; do not copy a four-switch layout when fewer pedestals are enabled.
The verified five-player run used four active toggles. Staff all active stations before using extras as the visible caller, spotter, or reward runner.
