Pyramid Game

Pyramid Game is about building wealth from a starting point determined by your bank-account level. Your initial funds represent different classes of birth, and you use jobs and casino games to change your assets and climb the global leaderboard. The game frames this as a way to explore how a starting advantage affects where you end up, and how hard it can be to maintain a high position.

Starting funds

The base game and five DLCs provide six bank-account levels, each with a different initial amount based on that level’s minimum daily closing balance. Each level creates a separate save, and buying a DLC does not add money to existing assets. The game does not use microtransactions to increase your wealth; each save begins with its initial funds.

Work and the casino

You can earn a salary through jobs built around randomly generated math problems and English words. Choose the number of questions or words and the difficulty range to determine the corresponding salary.

Once you have enough money, you can try to grow your wealth at the casino. Its games are limited to dice and other activities controlled by a physics engine, with results determined by random factors and game mechanics rather than hidden algorithms. The casino is designed to work the same way regardless of how much wealth you have.

Global rankings

The Pyramid Game Global Leaderboard ranks players around the world by their in-game assets, updating wealth changes every minute. Once enough players have accumulated, the system weighs total player wealth and the share of players in each segment, then assigns players levels from A to Z according to their rankings and wealth. The game is designed to support an unlimited number of players online at once.

Transaction records

The game records every transaction and casino result to the second, retaining the complete history from the first run onward. It displays between 500 and 1,500 records, depending on the computer configuration, while using those records for multidimensional calculations and verification of wealth. Each record also has a hash value generated by a random hash algorithm. Modifying game data may affect rankings, but errors that leave records incomplete can require a restart.
