Move a pyramid, block-by-block, from one location to another using as few moves as possible. Here are the rules: Move one block at a time by touching and dragging. Only blocks at the top of a stack may be moved. A move consists of dragging a block from one stack and placing it on top of another. You may never put a larger block on top of a smaller one. Need help? Tap the “View Solution” button on the 5-piece puzzle for complete step-by-step assistance.

Pyramids can be played with as few as 5 or as many as 10 puzzle blocks. The minimum number of moves required to solve a 5-block puzzle is 31*. Minimums increase dramatically with each additional block added. For example, minimum moves for the 10-block puzzle is 1023*. There are six puzzles to complete. So why not sit back and expand your mind with Pyramids.

* Pyramid Puzzles are based on the work of French mathematician Édouard Lucas who invented the “Tower of Hanoi” puzzles in 1883. The minimum number of moves required to solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle piece is equal to 2n-1, where n is the number of blocks to be moved.
