Build the Pyramid! is a cooperative Roblox simulator from Janitors Studios where every player on a server hauls stone from a quarry to one shared pyramid. No single player can finish the build alone, so real progress comes from carrying more stone per trip. Coins, upgrades, gym training, and completed pyramids all push that carrying number higher.
Quick answer: Take the +1,500 Speed and Strength Free Gift; purchase Bulk Pickup before Bulk Place, raise Placement Range to its maximum, and train in the strongest-multiplier gym area you’ve unlocked.
The quarry-to-pyramid loop and controls
A round follows the same basic routine: mine stone in the quarry, haul it over the desert, then set it onto the pyramid. On your first trip, follow the luminous green trail between the designated spots. Each block you set down earns a coin; the upgrade stand accepts no other currency.
E while facing a stone to collect it. Once your carrying capacity reaches more than a handful of blocks, keep E held down; it will continue collecting repeatedly. Use Q to discard your load, an action you will seldom need.
The full monument needs a huge stockpile, currently around 240,000 blocks from the entire server. That figure can change with updates, but the takeaway stays the same: finishing depends on the whole lobby and on raising how much you carry per run.
Claim the Free Gift before your first run
At spawn, find the wooden board marked FREE GIFT! A single claim awards +1,500 Speed and +1,500 Strength, an amount the treadmill or bench press would take your first several hours to match. Your HUD displays both stats immediately, and there is no second claim.
The board has three objectives: give the experience a like, favorite it, and join the Janitors Studios group. Once you complete an objective, press Claim on the board.
Best upgrades and the order to buy them
The wooden UPGRADES stand holds three purchases, each on its own level path with prices that climb sharply. Coins spent here directly cut the number of trips needed, which makes them the clearest measure of progress. Buy them in this order.
| Upgrade | Effect | First level | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulk Pickup | +1 block per grab | 50 coins | 1st |
| Bulk Place | +1 block per place | 50 coins | 2nd |
| Placement Range | Wider place reach | 25 coins | 3rd, then max |
Buy Bulk Pickup before anything else. At level 1, it lets one collection take two blocks instead of one, doubling the value of a quarry trip. Bulk Place speeds up depositing: without it, even a full load at the green zone has to be placed block by block.
Prices rise quickly on both tracks. Level 2 on either path costs 300 coins, while Bulk Place level 2 can run to 850. Check the next listed price before you spend, since early coins are usually better saved for the next Bulk Pickup tier than spread across everything.
Placement Range starts at 25 coins and lets you place from farther away. Its value grows with the pyramid, so rather than walking across a whole tier, you can stand still while the layer fills around you. A later level costs 425 coins and pushes reach to +30%.
With Bulk Pickup and Bulk Place enabled, raise Placement Range to its maximum and leave it there. On congested upper tiers, you save the most time by placing a complete layer from a single location.
Gym training: Speed, Strength, and multiplier zones
Coins do not increase your two stats; use the training stations. A treadmill boosts Speed, determining your desert travel pace, while a bench press boosts Strength and therefore your carrying capacity. Enter either station and exercise begins automatically; jump to stop. Training continues unattended, making both useful for AFK gains. If leaving the game running, stay on a bench press: extra load per run is nearly always more useful than a modest speed increase.
Finishing pyramids opens higher gym tiers, each with its own fixed multiplier. A repetition at 50x lasts exactly as long as one at 1x but awards fifty times the stat, so train in the strongest area available to you. Each station displays its requirement; check that number before settling in for an extended workout.
| Gym zone | Multiplier | Pyramids required |
|---|---|---|
| Base | 1x | 0 |
| 2x Gym | 2x | 1 |
| 5x Gym | 5x | 3 |
| 10x Gym | 10x | 8 |
| 25x Gym | 25x | 15 |
| 50x Gym | 50x | 25 |
| 75x Gym | 75x | 50 |
| 100x Gym | 100x | 100 |
| Admin Gym | Admin tier | Pass only |
The number of pyramids you finish determines your rank title. It begins at Apprentice, then advances to Mason, Artisan, and beyond as your total increases.
Finishing a pyramid and the Waters of Nu
As construction nears its end, the valid placement section shifts to the higher tiers, funneling players into the same increasingly narrow stretch of stone. Inserting the last block triggers a brief scene of the completed monument. Click to proceed; you then get +1 Pyramid, contributing to your gym zones and rank.
Once the scene ends, go to the base; its entrance has opened. Follow the corridors into the central chamber called the Waters of Nu. Its pool improves Speed and Strength at double the normal rate. The desert resets after about three minutes, so enter immediately rather than starting another run.
Completion is confirmed by the cutscene, the pyramid symbol on your HUD rising by one, and access through the interior entrance. Go back along the corridors; the desert then restarts with its counter refreshed.
Build the Pyramid codes and how to redeem them
The CODES sign in the hub lets you exchange codes for coins and stats. These are the entries currently reported.
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| UPDATE15 | 50,000 Coins, 25,000 Speed, 25,000 Strength |
| UPGRADES5K | 5,000 Coins |
| SORRYFORUPDATEBUG | 2,500 Coins |
| WELCOME | 500 Speed and 500 Strength |
| FREECODE | 500 Coins |
Some codes carry a redemption cap and can run out, and codes expire without warning, so enter them promptly.
Paid options and the Pharaoh pass
The store on the HUD’s right side offers stacking multipliers, the Pharaoh pass, and single-use block packs bought with Robux; each pack adds blocks only to the counter in your current server.
| Item | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5x Speed | 149 Robux | Speed multiplier |
| 2x Strength | 179 Robux | Strength multiplier |
| Pharaoh | 149 Robux | 2x Pyramids, Insta-Pickup, Insta-Place |
For most players, the Pharaoh pass is the best-value option. Insta-Pickup and Insta-Place remove the animation wait from every cycle, and 2x Pyramids can roughly halve the work needed to reach higher gym zones. These purchases are optional. Even as a free player, claiming the gift, buying each of the three upgrade tracks in order, and leaving a bench press active between sessions will let you carry more than skipping all three.
The routine soon takes little time: hold the button to collect at the quarry, cross the desert in seconds, place the load across a wide radius without moving, and repeat. With a full server, each cycle steadily increases the counter as everyone contributes to the same wonder.
