The Lens of The Pyramid

Pyramids fascinate us because they have a singular highest point. To give your puzzles the allure of the ancient pyramids, ask yourself these questions:

• Is there a way all the pieces of my puzzle can feed into a singular challenge at the end?
• Big pyramids are often made of little pyramids - can I have a hierarchy or ever more challenging puzzle elements, gradually leading to a final challenge?
• Is the challenge at the top of my pyramid interesting, compelling, and clear? Does it make people want to work in order to get to it?
