There are no plans for more Big Walk content right now, but House House has a way to add an unofficial extra game mode

Even when you're completely done with Big Walk, there are ways to keep having fun with your friends.

Big Walk, unlike a lot of other friendslop games, isn't designed to be played over and over and over. Developer House House has said that getting stuck in with a different group, or picking different routes to start with when the world opens up can be great ways to make the experience fresh. But, the developer also has a secret game mode for you to try out if you haven't already.

Speaking in a Reddit AMA, character designer and House House co-founder Stuart Gillespie-Cook was asked a question about more content coming in the future. Right now, as other developers said in the AMA, House House is taking a rest, but Gillespie-Cook did add that the game world has plenty of space for you to make your own games. "No content plans, but I will say we've had great success playing hide and seek amongst ourselves! We hope the game world is generous enough to make your own games within it," he wrote.

Hide and seek isn't something you need to play to complete Big Walk, but now we've had the idea implanted in our heads, it's one that's hard to shake. The cartoon characters may at first seem like they'd be easy to spot in the realistic world (plus you can always see their eyes in the dark), but that makes it all the more challenging for the hiders.

So, if you've found all the progression thingies in Big Walk, and want something else to do in the game, you can get a big group and hide yourself in the open world. Or, perhaps it's better to do just a section of it, so no one runs all the way across the map to find the perfect hiding spot.

Big Walk is available now on PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
