Build the Great Pyramid at 1:10 scale and hide your time machine inside.
Crash-landed in the desert! Hide the time machine inside the world's most famous pyramid… at 1:10 scale.

- Level 7 · Time Travellers
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Creative
- Time 45–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Shrink the Great Pyramid down to one tenth of its size and line it up with the compass. Build only the stepped outer shell, carve a secret tunnel into a hidden garage for your time machine, then choose a rough or shining finish.
Finish line: Your 1:10 pyramid lines up with the compass, hides your time machine inside and the shell count adds up.
Bonus challenge: Make your pyramid steeper: add a few layers that go straight up without stepping in. Can you reach 15 blocks high, the real 146 m at 1:10?
You’ll need
- Sandstone
- Sandstone or quartz stairs
- A calculator
You choose
- Outside: stepped stone, or gleaming white casing?
- My pyramid's name
- My bet for blocks in the hollow shell
Stuck?
- Pyramid leaning? Each layer should step in exactly 1 block on every side. Count the edge of each layer.
- Line it up with the compass: keep each side running exactly along an X or a Z line.
- Stairs facing the wrong way? Stand outside the pyramid looking in when you place them.
