How do I join a friend?
If the host appears in your platform’s active friend-games list, join there. Otherwise, ask the host for the short Join Code generated for that session. The official FAQ confirms the code method but does not name the code-entry button on every platform.

Where is the Join Code?
The host sees it in the corner of the host menu before starting. During a session, the host can open the in-game menu and choose “Session Details” to find it.

Is there random matchmaking?
No. Big Walk is designed for a group that returns across multiple sessions, so the game does not match you with random strangers.

How is progress saved?
The host saves progress automatically and keeps the save. If the host ends the session, everyone else is disconnected; the same host must host again to continue that journey.
