Build the greatest pyramid of the ancient world. Pyramid Idle is a calm incremental strategy game about planning, production and progress. Start with a small sandstone project, send workers to the quarry, transport stone blocks, place them on the construction site and watch your pyramid rise step by step. Every part of the building process matters. Mine stone, manage your workforce, improve food and housing, upgrade logistics, unlock new quarry routes and make each construction cycle more efficient. Your pyramid grows slowly at first, then faster as your systems improve.
