The Pyraplex
In this simulation, you construct and
develop an ancient pyramid. Train
staff and foster international trade to
build your civilization into a new
wonder of the world!
Game Flow
Direct your staff in the development of
shops and homes. Increase trade with
other nations as you aim for a
five-star pyramid rating.
Staff Assignments
Your staff will take up the tasks you
assign them, and their abilities will
grow accordingly. They may learn new
skills once those abilities improve
enough.
Staff Assignment 1
Quarrying : Quarry stone blocks to use
for construction from the massive wall
just outside the pyramid. Iron,
sapphires, and other materials may
turn up in the process.
Staff Assignment 2
Construction: Transport the stone
blocks required to each construction
site. As your staff's abilities grow,
their walking speed and carrying
capacity will increase.
Staff Assignment 3
Service: Assisting customers
encourages them to purchase more. It
also earns you more Heart Points,
which can be used for a variety of
renovations and other activities.
Staff Assignment 4
Crafting: Handicrafts can be sold as
exports or placed in amenities. The
crafts your staff can make will vary
according to their abilities.
Staff Experience
As your staff members quarry, build,
assist customers, and make crafts,
their proficiency in each area will
grow, improving their work efficiency
and unlocking new skills.

send requests. Fulfilling them earns
stamps in your stamp card. Just
remember that some requests have time
limits.

other countries. Countries with whom you

knowledge to you.

playing as long as you like.

one, you can carry over your Power Spot

should make it easier to get a new high
score.
