There’s been a little buzz going around Fortnite’s Instagram lately. If you type the word “Pyramid” into the reel, you’ll unlock a short teaser for the upcoming Fortnite x Daft Punk collab. No hidden steps, no crazy puzzle-solving—just type “Pyramid” (carefully, no spaces!) and you’re in.
The first time I tried it, I honestly expected something dramatic—maybe lights, music, or some kind of flashy animation. Instead, it was just a quick glimpse of the Daft Punk stage. Not bad, but I couldn’t help remembering when secret codes in Fortnite used to drop emotes or quirky loot.
From Clue to Answer
The hint that started all this was “Stage of An Unforgettable Era.” Naturally, my brain went into overdrive. I looked at past concerts, old lore, and every weird detail Epic Games ever teased. Turns out, the answer was way simpler: just type Pyramid.
Here’s what I figured out along the way:
- Both “Pyramid” and “pyramid” work—capitalization doesn’t matter.
- What does matter is spacing. A lot of players typed “Pyramid ” with an extra space at the end and thought the code was broken.
- Reddit was full of people trying every word except the right one—“Coachella,” “Travis Scott,” even “Alive 2007.”
Lesson learned: don’t overthink Fortnite’s clues.
Watching the Community Guess
The funniest part of this whole thing wasn’t the teaser—it was the chaos of watching players throw out wild guesses. Gamers were spamming every festival or music-related word they could think of. Then, when someone finally typed “Pyramid,” the comments lit up with pure disbelief: “IT ACTUALLY WORKED?!”
Moments like this feel like old-school Fortnite—half scavenger hunt, half comedy show.
Was It Worth It?
So, was unlocking the teaser worth the hype? Honestly, it’s more about the fun of cracking the code than the actual reward. The short clip isn’t mind-blowing, but sharing it with friends and watching their reactions makes it worth it.
If Epic really wants to surprise us next time, maybe throw in a Daft Punk emote or even a llama floating around with a helmet. Until then, typing “Pyramid” on Instagram is a goofy, lighthearted reminder that sometimes the hunt itself is the real prize.
👉 Try it yourself: Open Fortnite’s Instagram reel, type “Pyramid,” and see the Daft Punk teaser for yourself. Then, share this with your squad and see who finds it first.
