Threes! Freeplay in IOS

The original number slider

Our Expert Score

95/100

Threes! is the gold standard of mobile puzzle games. While many clones have emerged, none capture the charm, strategy, and perfect 'feel' of the original. The characters—yes, the numbers are characters—have personalities that make every merge feel rewarding.

The Freeplay version is a generous way to experience this masterpiece. The depth of strategy required to keep the board clear as you reach the higher numbers (like 768 and beyond) is immense. It's a game that takes seconds to learn but a lifetime to master, and it belongs on every single iPhone.

Threes! Freeplay brings the award-winning number-sliding experience to everyone. Players slide tiles on a 4x4 grid to combine 1s and 2s into 3s, and then double numbers (3+3=6, 6+6=12) to reach the highest possible score. With an endearing cast of characters and a catchy soundtrack, it's a deep strategy game wrapped in a minimalist package.
