Fun3s.com is inspired by the brilliant puzzle game Threes!, released in 2014 by Asher Vollmer, Greg Wohlwend, and Jimmy Hinson. Threes! was praised for its charming design and deep, challenging gameplay centered around the core mechanic of merging 1s and 2s to make 3s, and then merging identical tiles (3+3=6, 6+6=12, and so on).
The success and unique mechanics of Threes! quickly led to the creation of many other number-matching puzzle games. One of the most famous derivatives is 2048, created by Gabriele Cirulli, which uses a simpler merging mechanic (any identical tiles merge) and became a viral hit.
Other variations like 4096 and countless others also explored this sliding tile puzzle concept.
