About 2048

The addictive puzzle game that has captivated millions of players worldwide

The Story Behind 2048

2048 is a sliding tile puzzle game that took the internet by storm when it was first created by Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli in March 2014. Originally designed as a weekend project, the game quickly went viral and has since become one of the most popular puzzle games on the web.

The game's simple yet challenging concept—combining numbered tiles to reach the elusive 2048 tile—has made it accessible to players of all ages while providing enough depth to keep experienced players engaged for hours.

This implementation pays homage to the original while providing a modern, responsive experience optimized for both desktop and mobile devices. We've maintained the core gameplay that made 2048 so beloved while adding smooth animations and a polished user interface.
