Work flat or 3D

Work flat by building your puzzlepyramid® on a single level, which creates a star shape at first. Next, flex the edge pieces and form the pyramid into shape. To finish, carefully fit in the peak.

Work in 3D by starting at the bottom side, then build on one row after another until you reach the peak.

Tips for puzzlepyramid®

Here are some helpful hints and tricks for building your pyramid – our puzzle experts created them just for you!

Let the puzzle fun begin!

Before you start building your 3D puzzlepyramid®, gently flex all the corner pieces. That makes them easier to bend so you can form the edges that interlock perfectly – the secret to the smooth surface.

Constructing the pyramid – piece by piece

In order to make sure that your puzzlepyramid® has a flat, even surface, press all the pieces onto the table once put together. You can use the heel of your hand or a heavy book. By doing this, you’ll get a sleek, finished look that would make the Pharaohs jealous.

Getting the pyramid into shape

Unless you have very small hands, you may find it difficult to fit in your last pieces. Use a small object – like a spoon – to help you. Just press it against the pieces from the inside while you push against them from the outside to make them click into place.

The peak of perfection

Putting the last piece into place can be tricky. Here’s our tip: save a flexible edge piece for your last piece – for example the down-facing edge – because the stability is stronger at the edges. Press it in carefully – and your puzzlepyramid® is finished.

Present your puzzlepyramid®

Once you’ve built your pyramid, show it off! It’s an eye-catching decorative object with five beautiful images. Place it on its base to display each side. Or turn it on one triangle side to show the fantastic bottom graphic, almost like a framed photo. However you decide, we at Ravensburger wish you lots of fun with your puzzlepyramid®. Enjoy!
