Pyramid: a number pyramid puzzle of hidden patterns
Pyramid is a number pyramid puzzle in which the numbers on the bricks follow a pattern and one brick shows a question mark instead. Read the pyramid row by row, from the single brick at the top to the wide base, work out the rule, and choose the missing number from six options. The pattern changes from puzzle to puzzle, so every new pyramid starts with a little detective work.

How to play
- Sign in with your free Cleverini account and choose Single player or Multiplayer.
- Read the bricks in order: the top brick first, then each row from left to right.
- Look for the pattern, such as a short group of numbers that repeats or a sequence that grows by a rule.
- Find the yellow ? brick, work out what belongs there and tap it among the six options before time runs out.
What it exercises
Half math puzzle, half number pattern puzzle.
Logic
You form a guess about the rule, test it on the bricks you can already see, and drop it if it fails, the same loop used in any kind of problem solving.
Pattern recognition
Because the sequence wraps from one row onto the next, the repeat is easy to miss at first. Seeing it across row breaks is the real skill.
Attention
Pyramids can have six rows or more, and keeping your place while you check the rule brick by brick takes steady focus.
Tips
- Write the numbers out in a single line in your head, ignoring the rows. The pattern is often obvious once the triangle shape is gone.
- Check for a repeating group first: if 22, 8, 18 appears, then 22, 8, 18 again, the gap simply continues that cycle.
- If nothing repeats, compare neighbours: do they rise or fall by the same step, forming a number sequence with a regular rule?
- Test your rule on at least two other places in the pyramid before you tap. A rule that works once may be a coincidence.
- You get a generous timer for each pyramid, so spend the first seconds finding the rule rather than guessing between options.
