Peak's dillydally update has added new activities to the airport, giving your friends more reasons to put off actually climbing the damn mountain

I'll be honest, the amount of time I've spent waiting around in a game while various friends get themselves ready probably exceeds the time I actually spend playing the game. With something like Peak, where you need to all be present at the very start of the game, the chances of everyone being ready at the time we've agreed to is next to none.

So, having ways to pass the time while you wait for someone to make a cup of tea, eat their dinner, or return from the heavy fog they've somehow disappeared into in the time it took for them to reply to a message and join the game, is essential.

However, the opportunities to pass time in the airport before you set off on your climbing adventure in Peak are incredibly limited. Or at least they were until now. You have a climbing wall, and aside from running up and down the travelator, you're stuck for any activities really. Luckily, the "Dillydally mini-update" has rolled out, adding two new games to the airport to keep you entertained until it's time to head off.

The Steam announcement also emphasises that the "dillydallying" expands past the airport too, and you can now use the Bing Bong plush found at the plane crash as a sort of Magic 8 Ball. He's now equipped with a voice box which responds to yes or no questions when you squeeze him, so if you've been wondering if you should sacrifice one of your friends off the side of the mountain, or into the kiln, you can now blame Bing Bong for telling you to do so.

Right?
