Why you'll like it

  • Nothing to install

    Opens straight in the browser on any device โ€” no store, no download, no account.

  • Real 3D

    Built on Three.js with a proper physics engine, not a flat sprite pretending to be 3D.

  • Made for phones too

    On-screen controls appear automatically on touch devices, with a layout that fits any screen.

  • 14 languages

    The whole game is translated, and it picks your language automatically on the first visit.

How to play

  • Movement

    Arrow keys or WASD on desktop; an on-screen stick appears automatically on mobile.

  • Jumping

    Spacebar or the jump button. Ledges stay forgiving for a split second after you step off.

  • Camera

    Q and E โ€” or the rotate buttons โ€” swing the camera around the pyramid so you can see every face.

  • Goal

    Climb to each summit and take the key. All three keys open the treasure chamber in Khufu.

The real Giza

  • The Great Pyramid held the record as the tallest structure on Earth for around 3,800 years.
  • Khafre looks taller than Khufu from most angles only because it stands on higher bedrock.
  • The pyramids you see today are the stepped core โ€” the smooth outer casing was stripped away centuries ago.

About the game

โ€œKey of the Three Pyramidsโ€ is a 3D platformer that runs straight in your browser with nothing to install, built with Three.js and the Rapier physics engine. Each of Giza's three pyramids is a stage with its own difficulty: Menkaure to learn the ropes, Khafre with its guards and crumbling ledges, and the Great Pyramid of Khufu โ€” an outside climb through wind and falling stone, with the treasure chamber at its base.
