Dear Threes!

You may have been overshadowed by your simpler (and in my opinion, uglier) younger sister 2048, but in my eyes you’re the real catch!

You’re dripping with charm from head to toe. Every part of you has been crafted with love and care. Your soundtrack is so playful and catchy, I find myself humming it randomly throughout the day. Oh and your characters! Each of your little number tiles has a name, design and voiceline! It’s absolutely endearing.

The best part about you is there’s so much depth to go with your charm. You’re deceptively deep with your easy to learn but hard to master gameplay. What starts out as smooshing two tiles together grows into planning 3 moves ahead and creating a priority queue so you don’t trap a low point tile in the middle of the board. I’ve been playing you off and on for half a decade and I still havent beat you!

We’ve drifted away from time to time but I’m so glad I’ve found you again. I’m coming for that 3072 tile and sooner or later I will beat you.

With love, Bijuice

P.S pls tell your creator to enable the paid version of the app in Kenya. I’m sick of watching ads.

    Wow haha, as someone who finally got 6144 a few years ago this game really is a true gem and one of the greatest phone games of all time. 12 years ago I bought it on a whim on a lunch break, and it is easily the most played game of all time for me at this point (coming from years of cod, halo, rocket league, etc).

    You honestly made my day with this post, my friends know me as the friend who still plays the weird 2048 clone, but I got my son into it too. He finally hit 768 and I was so proud lol. I am still trying to achieve a “perfect” game but the algorithm definitely doesn’t like it. Technically in the top 100 on the leaderboards lol
