2048

2048 is a singleplayer sliding tile puzzle game developed by Gabriele Cirulli. Merge tiles with the same power of 2 to get the total sum. The goal is to keep merging tiles this way until you reach 2048!

How to Play

Use your arrow keys to move all the tiles in the specified direction. Every time you move, another 2 is spawned into the game. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. Keep sliding the tiles around until you reach your highest score. Be careful to think about your movements, as the board will keep filling up each time you move!

Tips & Tricks

Focus on the edge of the grid. You want the highest number to be in a lovely corner for easy access. Keep making the larger numbers around that corner so you can combine them when they match. If you end up with the higher numbers towards the middle, you can find yourself getting lost with inaccessible numbers quickly eventually you will have to start a new game.

What is 2048?

Since then many variations have been created and distributed thanks to the open-source project. The 2048 game on this page is the original, but you can find more versions below.
