Quick Answer
Backpacks sit inside blue round or spiral bag pavilions around the island, and six of those pavilions are verified Backpack locations. Pick one up, then have another player attach it to your back. Wearing it is also what unlocks Big Pack.
Where Do You Want to Start?
What Does a Backpack Look Like?
The Backpack is not shaped like a normal bag, which is why players walk straight past the thing they came for.
Looks like
An open rack-like frame in a bright colour — that frame standing inside the pavilion is the Backpack itself.
Not like
A soft fabric backpack with shoulder straps. If you are searching for that shape, you are looking for the wrong object.
A compatible item rides with the Backpack instead of occupying your hands, so your group can move one more thing at a time.
What Does a Backpack Location Look Like?
Every Backpack waits inside a small pavilion, so spotting the structure is most of the search.
- Blue
- Round or spiral
- Short ramp
- A Backpack frame inside
Which one do you reach first?
Players on the opening island route past the Drawbridge pass Red Cone first, so that pavilion tends to be the earliest Backpack.

All Backpack Locations
These are the pavilions where a Backpack is actually waiting. Other pavilions in the world hold hip gear only, so not every blue building you pass has one.

How to Equip a Backpack
You cannot put a Backpack on your own back. A second player does the attaching for you.
- 1
One player picks the Backpack up.
- 2
Both players stand next to each other.
- 3
The player holding it attaches it to the other player.
- 4
The Backpack now counts as worn rather than carried.
Playing alone? You can hold a Backpack, but you cannot wear one — the equip step needs a teammate.
Until it is attached, a Backpack is just another prop in your hands.
Worn one already?
Your answer is remembered on this device only.
How to Use a Backpack
A worn Backpack gives your group one more place to put a compatible item, so nobody has to hold it.
Three ways to carry something
- Back — a compatible item riding on the Backpack.
- Hip — hip gear, which is a separate system.
- Hands — anything you can lift and hold.
- 1
Make sure the Backpack is worn.
- 2
Pick up an item that supports Backpack storage.
- 3
Use the storage interaction on it.
You know it worked when
- ✓ The item is no longer in your hands.
- ✓ It rides with the Backpack instead.
Some route objects follow their own rules, so not everything can be stored. If an item refuses to attach, check whether that item supports Backpack storage before treating it as a bug.
Backpack or Hip Bag?
Both are bags you wear, which is why the two get mixed up. They are different slots with different achievements.
Backpack vs Hip Bag
| Backpack vs Hip Bag | Backpack | Hip Bag |
|---|---|---|
| Worn on | Back | Hip |
| Main job | An extra place for a Backpack-compatible item | An extra place for a hip item |
| Achievement | Big Pack | Big Help |
One does not stand in for the other. Wearing a hip bag will not award Big Pack, and a Backpack will not award Big Help.

Backpack Missing?
Work through these in order. Most missing Backpacks come from a finished session rather than a bug.
1A session just ended
Anything you were holding or wearing when the host ended the game is waiting in Lost & Found at the start of the next session.
2You put it down this session
Walk your route back. A dropped Backpack stays where you left it until the session ends.
3You are in a different world
Make sure you are continuing the same hosted journey before you assume it is gone.

Pick the symptom that matches what you are seeing.
I can't put it on
You cannot attach a Backpack to yourself. Ask another player to attach it to your back.

Picking one up is not enough
- 1Pick up a Backpack.
- 2A teammate attaches it to your back.
- 3The Backpack becomes worn.
- 4Big Pack registers from that worn state.
If Big Pack has appeared, the game has registered the Backpack as worn. That is your confirmation that the equip step worked.
Holding a Backpack and wearing one look almost the same on screen, so check your character rather than your hands.
Where you are now
- ○ Backpack picked up
- ○ Backpack worn on your character
- ○ Big Pack
Not worn yet — the achievement is still ahead of you.
