- One loop drives everything: pick up blocks, haul to the active layer, earn Coins, upgrade.
- Two stats matter: Strength raises blocks per trip, Speed shortens every route.
- Codes are free progress: WELCOME alone grants 500 speed and 500 strength.
- Multipliers beat grinding: gym zones scale to 2x-10x inside pyramid pools.
- Mechs automate the endgame: they place slabs while you keep hauling.
What This Guide Covers
Build a Pyramid is a cooperative Roblox simulator by Giggling Games where up to 16 players share one goal: completing a giant Egyptian pyramid that requires 171,700 blocks in total. This guide walks through every system the game puts in front of you — the hauling loop, stats, Coins, codes, training multipliers, mechs, and the curse that watches over the build.
If you are brand new, read this page once from top to bottom and you will understand every mechanic the game throws at you. Deeper dives live in the dedicated guides for Strength, Coins, upgrades, and Mechs.
Join the Roblox Group for an advertised 25% Coin Bonus, then redeem WELCOME at the ticket icon for 500 speed and 500 strength. That is the strongest possible start before your first haul.
The Core Loop: Haul, Deliver, Upgrade
Every minute of Build a Pyramid is built on one repeating loop:
Pick Up Blocks
Grab blocks from the supply piles near the pyramid base. Supply is unlimited — your carrying capacity is the real limit.
Haul to the Active Layer
Deliver to the highlighted unfinished layer. Deliveries only count at the active layer, so follow the crowd if you are unsure where it is.
Earn Coins
Every delivery pays Coins. Objectives like Return the Slab pay bonuses on top.
Upgrade and Train
Spend Coins on Bulk Pickup, Bulk Place, and Placement Range; train Speed and Strength at gyms between trips.
The loop never changes — it only gets faster. Every purchase and every training session exists to compress more blocks into the same minutes.
Stats, Coins, and Codes
Three systems feed your progression, and all three are beginner-friendly:
Speed & Strength
- Speed cuts travel time per trip
- Strength raises blocks carried per trip
- Train both; capacity compounds hardest
Coins
- Earned from deliveries and objectives
- Spent on upgrades and mechs
- Group members get +25% advertised
Codes
- UPGRADES5K — 5,000 Coins
- SORRYFORUPDATEBUG — 2,500 Coins
- FREECODE — 500 Coins
- WELCOME — 500 speed + 500 strength
Codes expire quietly after updates, so redeem the current set every time you spawn — the ticket icon on the main screen is the redemption point, not the settings menu. DISCORD2K was part of an older set and has expired.
Training Smart: Multipliers Over Reps
Gym training in Build a Pyramid is multiplier-based. Every gym tier multiplies the gains from each session, and the biggest multipliers hide inside the pyramids themselves:
- Starter gyms — only for your first minutes; leave as soon as better zones unlock
- Advanced gym zones — unlock as the server's pyramid grows; always train at the highest you can reach
- Pyramid pools — grant 2x to 10x your best gym multiplier
- Pyramid types — Stone interiors train at 3x, Gold at 5x, and Void at 10x, with the Void roll sitting around a 5% chance
The rule that saves hours: never grind sessions at a low zone. A few minutes at a 10x pool outpaces an hour at the starting treadmill.
The Curse and the Pharaoh
The pyramid is cursed. Supreme Pharaoh Ramses IV watches the construction, and when the Pharaoh Boss appears, the entire server needs to push back together — ignore it and the curse slows everyone's deliveries.
Practical etiquette: when teammates turn to fight, join them. A full server clears the boss quickly, objective rewards flow again, and everyone returns to a clean hauling rhythm.
