2048 is a single-player online game created in March 2014 by 19-year-old Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli, in which the objective is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them and create a tile with the number 2048. It can be regarded as a type of sliding block puzzle, and is very similar to the Threes! app released a month earlier.

Cirulli created the game in a single weekend as a test to see if he could program a game from scratch, describing it as a clone of Veewo Studios’ app 1024 and getting the idea from Sami “Saming” Romdhana’s clone 2048, and was surprised when his game received over 4 million visitors in less than a week, especially since it was just a weekend project. “It was a way to pass the time”, he said. The game is free to play, Cirulli having said that he was unwilling to make money from “something that [he] didn’t invent”. He released a free app version of the game for iOS and Android in May 2014.

The game has been described by the Wall Street Journal as “almost like Candy Crush for math geeks”, and Business Insider called it “Threes on steroids”. Due to the massive popularity of 2048, many people now mistakenly believe Threes! to be a clone of it, rather than the other way around.

The fact that the game runs on open-source code has led to many additions to the original game, including a score leaderboard and improved touchscreen playability. Spinoffs include versions with elements from Doge, Doctor Who, Flappy Bird and Tetris; there has also been a 3D version and ones with bigger or smaller grids. Cirulli sees these as “part of the beauty of open source software” and does not object to them “as long as they add new, creative modifications to the game”.
