A Treehouse set is a collection of 15 Icehouse pieces in five colors: one large piece, one medium piece, and one small piece in each color. It also includes a cloth 5×5 grid and two dice: a standard six-sided and a custom black six-sided die with a custom action printed on each face.

Three other versions of Treehouse sets exist:

  • Xeno Treehouse, a set of 15 pyramids in purple, orange, clear, white, and white that did not include the cloth grid
  • Rainbow Treehouse, a set of 15 pyramids in red, green, yellow, blue, and black that did not include the cloth grid
  • Pink Treehouse, a set of 15 pyramids in pink that did not include the cloth grid

The phrase "2HOUSE" means two Treehouse sets, "3HOUSE" means three Treehouse sets, and so on.

Icehouse pieces were originally sold in stashes, with all 15 pieces of the same color, and most games required either a set number of stashes, or 1 stash per player. Treehouse has been the leading pyramid product since 2006, obsoleting the older stash convention. Since the introduction of Treehouse, many games have been designed that require one, two, three or more matching Treehouse sets. Older Icehouse games tend to specify the required number of stashes, while newer games define their piece requirements based on Treehouse sets, depending on which sales format was common when the game was designed. Only a few games, such as Zendo, are compatible with both stash and Treehouse paradigms.
