Puckdoku Pyramid

Puckdoku Pyramid is a weekly hockey trivia challenge where you name players across six categories that stack and combine as you climb from bottom to top.

The puzzle is shaped like a pyramid with six squares. You start at the bottom left and work your way left to right, bottom to top. Each square introduces a new category (like "played for the Bruins" or "scored 40+ goals in a season"). The twist: as you climb, each answer must satisfy every category you've encountered so far. By the time you reach the peak, you need a player who meets all six criteria at once.

• Start at the bottom left square and move horizontally, then climb.
• Each square adds a new category requirement.
• Higher squares demand players who fit all previous categories plus the new one.
• Each player can only be used once across the entire pyramid.
• The top square usually has only one or two valid answers.
• Lifelines are available if you get stuck.
• A new pyramid drops every Monday.
• Your uniqueness score is calculated like regular Puckdoku, but the top square doesn't count toward scoring.

Why we like it:

• ✅The compounding logic makes you think several moves ahead, like chess with hockey knowledge.
• ✅Finding that rare player who checks every box at the summit feels like solving a perfect equation.
• ✅Weekly release means you can take your time and really dig into hockey history.

Hint: Work backwards from the top. Scan all six categories first, identify who might fit all of them, then reverse engineer your path up the pyramid to avoid burning that unicorn player too early.
