Plan your next We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip session
Our independent guide breaks down the core elements of We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip, focusing on reliable communication, proper setup, and interpreting the grading feedback. By following these observations you can improve teamwork without altering any game content in your sessions.
01 / THE GUIDE
Microphone Check
Before starting, each player should speak a short phrase into the walkie‑talkie and listen for clarity. Adjust microphone gain if speech sounds muffled or distorted.
- Agree on a start signal before moving.
- Keep both microphones active throughout the session.
02 / THE GUIDE
Description Practice
Take turns describing visible objects for ten seconds, then switch. This exercise builds concise language and helps both partners quickly locate matching items during puzzles.
- Speak clearly and pause after each description.
- Confirm the partner heard the clue before acting.
03 / THE GUIDE
Subtitle Experiment
Toggle subtitles on while a teammate speaks, then off, noting any missed information. Decide whether keeping subtitles visible improves comprehension in noisy environments.
- Note the grade immediately and discuss what helped.
- Use the feedback to adjust your communication style for the next room.
04 / THE GUIDE
Grade Reflection
After each room, write down the grade and a brief note on which communication actions contributed to the score. Review the list before the next challenge to repeat effective habits.
- Check that both players run the Windows version.
- Make sure each account has internet access for Steam Cloud synchronization.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Observation
If using a DualShock or DualSense controller, try pressing buttons during menu navigation or puzzle interaction to see which functions respond. Record any actions that work for future reference.
- Set subtitle visibility if background noise interferes with voice chat.
- Adjust volume sliders so walkie‑talkie audio is clear.
