How to Play 2048

2048 is a single-player 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!

“My kids enjoy the simple challenge of merging the numbers to clear space and stay alive. It's great to see them figure out strategies to merge bigger and bigger numbers efficiently. They don't realize it, but they are learning to make quick additions. There's also a lot of geographical thinking ahead to avoid making a move that gets you stuck.”

How to Play

Use your arrow keys to move all the tiles in the specified direction. Every time you move, another tile with a value of 2 or 4 appears. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one, doubling the numerical value.

The final objective is to create a tile with the number 2048. Be careful with your moves - if the board fills up completely before reaching 2048, it's game over!

Game Mechanics

•Use arrow keys or swipe gestures to move all tiles
•Tiles with the same number merge when they collide
•New tile (2 or 4) appears after each move
•Game ends when no more moves are possible

Strategy Tips

•Keep your highest number tile in a corner for easy access
•Build a chain of decreasing numbers around your highest tile
•Avoid spreading big numbers across the board - they'll become inaccessible
