Big Walk: How to Turn On the Big Red Speakers

Grab a portable radio, return to the stage southwest of the Green Tower, and connect it to the AUX cord to play music.

Grab a portable radio, return to the stage southwest of the Green Tower, and connect it to the AUX cord to play music.

The stage with two big red speakers in Big Walk looks ready for a jam session, complete with lawn chairs out front and an AUX cable sitting on a table between the speakers. There’s no device attached, though, and nothing on the stage itself turns them on. The speakers stay silent until you bring the one item that plugs into that cable.

Quick answer: Pick up a portable radio from any of the seven radio stations on the map, carry it to the stage southwest of the Green Tower, step onto the stage with the radio in hand, and attach it to the AUX cord on the table. The song playing on the radio starts broadcasting through the speakers.

Where to find the big red speakers

The speakers sit southwest of the Green Tower, close to the shoreline. That coastal position makes them easy to spot as you move along the water, and the stage with its two red speakers, table, and colorful chairs stands out clearly against the beach.

Get a portable radio from a radio station

The device that powers the speakers is a portable radio, and you can grab one from any of the seven radio stations scattered across the island. Each station holds a radio you can pick up, and activating stations also unlocks extra songs you and your squad can play. You only need one radio to turn the speakers on.

Radio Stations Locations Big Walk

The seven stations sit near several of the game’s colored areas and towers. Here’s where each one is:

Radio channelLocationMap coordinates
Channel #1 (Red)Down the crosswalk past the Red Tower, overlooking the ocean — also where you pick up the handheld radio3700, 1190
Channel #2 (Purple)Far south of the map, down the hill from the chairlift4250, 2020
Channel #3 (Light Green)In the forest near the Red Tower puzzles, down the path from the heavy-ball puzzle3820, 1620
Channel #4 (Yellow)Down the mountainside from the Blue Tower, near a wall with window cutouts3310, 1850
Channel #5 (Secret)Underground, reached through the tunnels unlocked with the Yellow Tower keyTunnel entrance: 3500, 1620
Channel #6 (Blue)Northwest of the Green Tower, on light blue platforms among rocks and trees3990, 1800
Channel #7 (Pink)West of the Yellow Tower, down the mountain at a pink grid-like structure3310, 1280

Note: You need to unlock the crosswalk before you can start collecting radio channels. Picking up a backpack early helps too, since it keeps your hands free while you carry the radio around.

Pick up a Radio Big Walk

Connect the radio to the speakers

With a portable radio in hand, head back to the stage southwest of the Green Tower.
Step onto the stage while still holding the radio, then attach it to the AUX cord lying on the table between the two speakers.
Attach Radio to Big Red Speakers Big Walk

Once the radio is plugged into the AUX cord, the song it’s tuned to starts playing through the big red speakers, and the sound carries a long way across the surrounding area. That audio spreading out from the stage confirms the speakers are on.


Change the song

To switch tracks, unplug the radio from the AUX cord, change the station on the radio, and plug it back in. The speakers will play whatever channel you’ve selected. The more radio stations you’ve activated, the more songs you’ll have to choose from, so you and your friends can settle into the lawn chairs and cycle through the available tunes.
