Holiday batches: Christmas, Halloween, Music 2048.
How to play
Every move slides all the cupcakes on the board as far as they can go in one direction. Use the arrow keys on a keyboard (W A S D work too), or swipe across the board on a phone or tablet.
When two of the same cupcake run into each other, they merge into the next cupcake up the ladder. Two Vanilla Birthdays make a Bubblegum Pink. Two Bubblegum Pinks make a Sunshine Vanilla. After every move a new Vanilla Birthday drops into an empty spot, and about one time in ten it is a Bubblegum Pink instead.
The score is counted in calories. Each merge adds the Kcal of both cupcakes you combined, so late merges are worth far more than early ones. The round ends when the board is full and nothing can merge. Make White Chocolate Peppermint, the 2048 cupcake, and you win. You can keep playing after that.
How to reach the 2048 cupcake
-
Pick a corner and keep it
Park your biggest cupcake in one corner (bottom left works for most people) and line the others up next to it, biggest to smallest, like a snake.
-
Live on two arrows
With a bottom-left corner, almost every move should be Down or Left. Use Right when you have no choice, then go straight back.
-
Stay away from Up
One push up pulls your big cupcake out of its corner, and a fresh Vanilla Birthday loves to drop into the hole it leaves.
-
Keep the bottom row full
A full row cannot slide sideways. As long as your bottom row has four cupcakes in it, your corner cupcake is locked in place.
-
Slow down past half full
Once eight or more spots are taken, look one move ahead. Merging two small cupcakes in the wrong column can block a Chocolate Sundae merge two moves later.

Questions players ask
Is 2048 Cupcakes free?
Yes. There is nothing to buy, nothing to download and no account to make. Open the page and play.
Can I play it on a phone or a Chromebook?
Yes. Swipe on a phone or tablet, and use the arrow keys on a Chromebook or any laptop. The board resizes to fit the screen.
What is the highest cupcake?
Rainbow, the 8192 tile. You only need White Chocolate Peppermint (2048) to win. Past Rainbow the numbers keep doubling, but the picture stays the same.
Does the game save my progress?
On this device, yes. Your best score and the board you were playing are kept in your browser, so you can close the tab and pick up later. Clearing your browser data resets both.
Is there a Christmas version?
Yes. 2048 Christmas Cupcakes has its own holiday ladder, and there is a Halloween version too.
