Looking for Taylor Swift 2048?

This page used to show a Taylor Swift 2048 that ran on another website and was built on photos of the singer. We took it down. A game made from a real person's pictures is not ours to make.

In its place is a music 2048 of our own. No photos, no album covers, no song lyrics. The tiles are instruments, from a single quarter note up through a school recorder, a ukulele and an electric guitar to a gold microphone, and the game runs right here on this page.

The set list

Thirteen tiles, from Quarter Note to Encore. Two of the same tile merge into the next one, exactly like the cupcakes in the classic game. The Gold Microphone is the 2048 tile.

Quarter Note 200 points 2
Two Eighth Notes 250 points 4
Snare Drum 320 points 8
Tambourine 400 points 16
Recorder 500 points 32
Ukulele 650 points 64
Trumpet 820 points 128

Acoustic Guitar 1,000 points 256
Keyboard 1,200 points 512
Electric Guitar 1,500 points 1024
Gold Microphone 2,000 points 2048
Vinyl Record 3,000 points 4096
Encore 5,000 points 8192

Points per tile match the calories in the cupcake games, so scores line up across every version.

How to reach the Gold Microphone

Give the big tile a home

Choose a corner and never move your biggest tile out of it. Bottom left or bottom right both work.
Build the row beside it

Line tiles up next to the corner in falling order: Electric Guitar, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar. Each merge then rolls straight into the next.
Leave Up alone

With a bottom corner, Up is the one arrow that breaks everything. Save it for when nothing else moves.
