Beginner Guide
Claim Free Gift, follow the green path from BLOCKS to PYRAMID, hold E to haul, then buy Bulk Pickup before you grind the wrong gym.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated

First session overview
Claim Free Gift (+1,500 Speed and +1,500 Strength), haul along the green path, hold E once capacity rises, earn 1 Coin per placed block, buy Bulk Pickup (~50 Coins), then train Strength before Speed. Join a populated lobby — 171,700 blocks is a shared goal.
Deep links: upgrades, training, progression.
Your first haul loop list
Seven beats: Free Gift board → WASD / Space / E → quarry under BLOCKS → PYRAMID green zone → Coins → Bulk Pickup then Bulk Place (~50 each) → Strength bench before treadmill.
- Claim Free Gift first. Find the FREE GIFT! board at spawn. Like the experience, add it to Favorites, join Janitors Studios, then Claim. You get +1,500 Speed and +1,500 Strength once.
- Move with WASD, Space, and E. WASD to walk, Space to jump, E at quarry and pyramid prompts. Once capacity is above one block, hold E instead of tapping. Press Q only when you mean to drop the load.
- Follow the green path to BLOCKS. Walk into the quarry under the BLOCKS sign. Press E on a stone to pick it up. You often start at one-block capacity. Strength training raises how many you can carry per trip.
- Carry to the PYRAMID green zone. Follow the glowing path to the PYRAMID area. Place only on the green highlight. The valid layer rises as the structure fills. Hold E to place in a stream.
- Earn Coins (one per block placed). Each deposited block awards one Coin. Spend Coins on Bulk Pickup, Bulk Place, and Placement Range at the UPGRADES stand.
- Buy Bulk Pickup, then Bulk Place. Buy Bulk Pickup (about 50 Coins), then Bulk Place (about 50 Coins). These raise blocks per press; they do not raise carry capacity. Placement Range starts cheaper. Finish it after the first two tracks are online.
- Train Strength before Speed. Use a bench press for carry capacity and a treadmill for Walk Speed. Jump to leave. Strength early means each trip moves more stone. The in-game tutorial is short (about two minutes).
Mistakes to skip list
Skipping Free Gift, tapping E instead of holding, Speed-only while carrying one block, empty-server grinds, and missing Waters of Nu (~3 minutes after a finish before desert reset).
- Skipping Free Gift and grinding bare stats for the first hour
- Tapping E instead of holding once capacity is past a few blocks
- Training only Speed while still carrying one block per trip
- Hard-carrying an empty server instead of joining a populated lobby
- Ignoring Waters of Nu when a pyramid finishes (about three minutes before reset)
- Grinding empty lobbies instead of hopping near-complete pyramids for gym unlocks
FAQ
What does Free Gift require?
Like the experience, favorite it, and join the Janitors Studios group, then Claim on the board. Reward is +1,500 Speed and +1,500 Strength once.
How do I earn Coins?
Place blocks on the pyramid. One placed block equals one Coin toward upgrades.
Should I hold E?
Yes, once you can carry more than one block. Hold to pick up and place in a stream instead of mashing.
Can I finish a pyramid alone?
Technically possible, but 171,700 blocks is a server goal. Join a busy lobby.
What controls matter most?
WASD to move, Space to jump, E to pick up and place (hold when capacity is high), Q to drop. Jump also leaves treadmill and bench stations.
