The 2048 game has become fairly popular very fast on the mobile market! The addictive 4x4 numbers-puzzle game has climbed the top of the iOS and Android charts. Some even say this new game is the next Flappy Bird game in terms of addictive games.

The game is fairly easy, in which players swipe left, right, up or down to move the tiles in the desired direction. When two like tiles are moved to the same direction they combine to form the sum of their numbers, ex. a two number four tiles will equal 8. Every time the player makes a new move, a new tile will appear in a random square and when the board is filled up and no more move are available, the game is over.

The goal of the game is to create a tile with the sum of 2048. While it sounds fairly easy the game is actually frustrating and very addictive.

If you’ve played the game then you know how hard it is, but we are here to share some tips and tricks that can help you achieve that high score you truly desire. According to Pictures of Nepal website there are 3 main tips that can get you the 2048 tile. These tips include:

TIP 1 - Do not use the up arrow key unless you have no moves left except that.

TIP 2 - Always try to keep the high valued blocks in the bottom row and try to arrange the scores on the block in the descending order from to Left to right (last row) and then right to left in the second last row in the pattern. Check out the picture below courtesy of Pictures of Nepal.
