Early on in Big Walk, as you and your pals are scurrying around the world solving puzzles, you might come across a curious sight: a structure near the beach with an oblong prize (here at PC Gamer we call it a nubbin) inside a frosted glass container. Hanging on a hook above it: a sign with some numbers on it. Curious!
You've probably already seen a nubbin in a similar container, which could only be accessed when one of your companions held down a button in a nearby location. But what do these two four-digit numbers mean? And where's the button?
If you're stumped with this numbers puzzle, as we were for a while, we're happy to help.
Since Big Walk is best when you figure puzzles with your friends instead of by reading guides, I'll ease you into the solution to this number puzzle by giving you progressively more explicit hints below. This way you can get some help without completely spoiling the solution, if you like.
When you first find this number puzzle, most likely just after you've completed the tutorial puzzles, you won't be able to solve it. It's just that simple. The best advice is to leave it for now and come back to it later, after you've solved five other puzzles and completed the red tower.
When you're looking around the rest of the world, keep those numbers in mind. Specifically, the format: two four-digit numbers. Maybe you'll see something elsewhere that looks like it's related.
You'll need a specific item to make sense of those numbers. There are actually two different items that can be individually used to help you with the number puzzle.
The numbers 4166 and 1899 are coordinates, latitude and longitude, and they point to the button's location on the island.
