2048 Cupcakes Cupcake List
This 2048 Cupcakes cupcake list shows every tile in order, from the 2 tile at the start to the 2048 tile that wins the game. There are twelve cupcakes in each of the three editions: eleven named cupcakes from 2 to 2048, then one Gold Cupcake for every tile above that. Each cupcake is worth double the one before it, so the order is also the order you must merge them in.

What is the last cupcake in 2048 Cupcakes?
The last named cupcake is the 2048 tile: the Christmas Cupcake in the classic edition, the Christmas Tree Cupcake in the Christmas edition, and the Jack-o'-Lantern Cupcake in the Halloween edition. Making it ends the game with a win. You can then press Keep going to continue, and every tile above 2048 is shown as that edition's Gold Cupcake.
The well-known GitHub version of 2048 Cupcakes
A well-known open-source 2048 Cupcakes on GitHub, by henry7720, names its tile images in this order, from 2 to 2048: vanilla, strawberry vanilla, lemon, red velvet, mint, jumbo Oreo, birthday, royal blue, caramel, pink champagne and Christmas. Tiles above 2048 are gold. Our classic lineup follows the same idea, a run of cake flavors that ends in a Christmas cupcake with gold beyond it, but every cupcake on this site is our own drawing and the names are our own. The about page explains how this 2048 Cupcakes cupcake list and its art were made.
How many merges and points does 2048 take?
Every tile is built from smaller ones, so you can count a tile's worth in 2 tiles. The 2048 tile needs 1024 of them.
| Tile value | Equals this many 2 tiles |
|---|---|
| 2 | 1 |
| 16 | 8 |
| 128 | 64 |
| 512 | 256 |
| 1024 | 512 |
| 2048 | 1024 |
Your score adds the value of each new tile you make. Building one 2048 cupcake purely from 2s adds exactly 20,480 points along the way, so expect a score of roughly 20,000 or more when the win message appears. Some of the cupcakes that drop are 4s, which skip a merge and its points, while the other cupcakes still on your board add their own share.
