How to Play Cross-Platform

  1. Decide which player will host the session (note that the session data will be attached to it's account, so choose wisely!).
  2. The host has to start playing first, setting a reasonable limit for the player amount.
  3. After the host prepared the session, friends can join the party using either the friend list of the platform they are on, or the game Join Code, which will need to be shared by the host.
  4. Do note that some platforms do not have a friend list feature, and joining via Join Code will be required (i.e. Mac App Store).

What happens if I get stuck in Big Walk?
