Build the Pyramid! Progression Guide
Follow Build the Pyramid! progression from reliable deliveries through efficient training and repeated pyramid-completion unlocks.
Build the Pyramid! progression works best when building and training support each other. Deliver blocks to earn and advance the monument, improve the part of the route that limits output, complete pyramids, and use the higher gym multipliers those completions unlock.
Build a stable progression spine
Begin with a route you can repeat: quarry pickup, pyramid deposit, then return. Coins earned from placing blocks support throughput upgrades, while gym training improves movement and carrying. The pyramid-completion count connects both halves by unlocking stronger training areas. If you treat any one half as a separate grind, progress feels slower because the other bottleneck remains untouched.
See the loop as a whole
This overview is valuable for seeing the transition from early hauling into larger stats and repeated completions. Watch for the moments when the player returns to building after training. That reset is the habit to copy: improve one limitation, then test it on the real route.
Set milestone-based goals
Use the reported gym ladder as checkpoints rather than chasing an arbitrary stat. The base area is open at zero completions, followed by 2x at 1 pyramid, 5x at 3, 10x at 8, 25x at 15, 50x at 25, 75x at 50, and 100x at 100. Your immediate goal is only the next useful threshold. That keeps a long progression from turning into one vague grind.
| Completed pyramids | Reported gym | Planning use |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Base 1x | Learn the route |
| 1 | 2x | First completion checkpoint |
| 3 | 5x | Early repeat goal |
| 8 | 10x | Mid-progression target |
| 15 | 25x | Higher-tier training |
| 25 | 50x | Major long-term checkpoint |
| 50 | 75x | Advanced goal |
| 100 | 100x | Extended progression |
Order training and upgrades
Early on, carrying more blocks often removes more trips, while speed reduces the cost of every remaining trip. Coin upgrades add another layer: Bulk Pickup raises blocks collected per tier, Bulk Place raises blocks deposited per click, and Placement Range expands reach. Improve the clearest bottleneck, run a comparable route, and keep the change when the deposit pace visibly improves.
Review progress after each completion
When a shared pyramid finishes, confirm that your completion count changed before planning the next gym tier. Recheck which training area you can access, then train there instead of remaining in a lower multiplier zone out of habit. Return to building while the upgrade is fresh enough to compare. That build-test-review cycle is more informative than a long stat grind with no route check.
Quick checklist
- Name the current bottleneck before training or spending.
- Change one variable, then repeat a comparable route.
- Confirm progress in the shared counter, payload, trip time, or unlocked gym.
- Recheck update-sensitive details in the live game.
Frequently asked questions
What drives progression?
The core cycle combines block delivery, coin upgrades, training, and shared pyramid completions.
Should I train forever before building again?
No. Short training blocks followed by route tests reveal whether the stat increase solved your bottleneck.
