When you purchase a game on MysteryLocks' website, you can immediately download and print the game at your convenience, whether it's a single copy or multiple. This game includes 3 instruction pages (optional for printing) and 19 game material pages. Although the company provided us with a printed copy for review, this option isn't available as an add-on on their website, which would be a valuable feature for players without printer access. The vibrant and beautiful colors of the game pieces captivate us, drawing us into the game instantly.

On each page with game pieces, cut them out along the clear outlines. If assembly or folding is required, you'll see the outlines for that as well. We found that using double-sided tape instead of glue was much easier and less messy. Although the game's instructions were challenging for some assembly parts, following their YouTube instructions made it significantly easier.
Once everything is assembled, you'll need a device to connect to the internet, though there is an offline option if you download it beforehand. This is where you'll access the storyline, input your answers, and receive helpful hints if you're stuck. When we played "The Box", we enjoyed some cool interactive sounds that we wish this game included. One improvement we suggest is for the website to record your game progress, as currently, if the website freezes, you must re-enter all answers from the beginning. Having learned from previous experiences, we recorded our answers for this one, but re-entering everything is still inconvenient.
Having a notepad and pen/pencil are invaluable for taking notes or solving puzzles.
Organizational skills are crucial since there will be many game pieces after cutting. The creator excelled in visually indicating which pieces are needed for specific puzzles, and most are "one and done," allowing you to set them aside afterward. However, there was one instance where a visual match was missing and we had to figure it out ourselves. Main puzzle pieces, like the pyramid, may be used multiple times.

We tackled numerous puzzles, approximately 10, and were impressed by the extensive playtime this print-and-cut game offered. An interactive story accompanied the solving process, and as we "peeled" away the pyramid, we felt immersed in the unfolding storyline. The puzzles presented a range of difficulties, with some relying on perception and others demanding logic and multiple steps to solve. One particularly enjoyable aspect was maneuvering the paper to reveal something previously unseen.

This game is an exciting upgrade from "The Box" with both setup and playtime nearly doubling. It's absolutely worth the effort, especially if you're a fan of arts and crafts—it feels wonderfully meditative. The completed pyramid and ancient relics are colorful and beautiful. The storyline transforms a simple print-and-cut puzzle into an immersive experience, making you feel like a part of ancient tomb raider history. Once the tech aspects are fine-tuned, this game will be a seamless adventure. Are you ready to enter the secret passages of The Pyramid and uncover its hidden treasures? Whether you go solo or team up, you'll have a blast either way! And that's the magic of these at-home games.
