BIG WALK Beach Timer: Three-Phase Scaffold Course
Open the route by carrying, synchronize the active switches, then deliver the timer through the staircase to its pedestal.
Direct solution
Treat the over-water beach scaffold as three separate phases. First assign a carry runner and door helper: lift or boost the required teammate over obstacles so they can open the route from inside. Second, put players on every switch lit by the current world and press together on a spoken countdown. Third, take the timer through the large staircase section and place it on the end pedestal. Do not scatter everyone across later phases before the current gate confirms. If the timer drops or a door closes, restart only that failed segment from its last stable checkpoint.
Before starting
- Finish the main ending.
- Bring enough players for the active switches shown in your world.
- Assign a carrier, door helper, switch caller, and timer owner.

Player-count plan
2 players
Use one player for each information or action side. Finish carry, switches, and timer delivery as three named phases.
3-12 players
Keep the two core roles unchanged. Extra players should spot, carry, or record the current sequence without creating a second caller.
Common mistakes
- Treating it as one continuous sprint.
- Leaving the carry runner behind a closed door.
- Pressing switches without a countdown.
- Kicking the timer near open edges.
How to recover
- 1.Name the failed phase.
- 2.Return only that phase to its last checkpoint.
- 3.Restaff active switches before retrying.
- 4.Use a spotter beneath the timer route.
