Slide tiles in any direction. When two matching numbers collide, they merge and double. 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, all the way up to... 2048. Sounds easy? You'll be surprised how quickly the board fills up.

What made 2048 a global phenomenon isn't just the addictive 'one more try' loop — it's the hidden depth. Every swipe forces you to think about spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and exponential growth. Kids learn powers of two without even realizing it.
