ArtTime 2048: Art History

Merge matching artist tiles, discover great painters and their stories, and complete their masterpieces piece by piece. Free, offline, no ads.

ArtTime 2048 is a puzzle game that takes you on a journey through art history.

Instead of numbers, every tile is a great artist. Merge two matching artists and they become an artist born earlier: starting from John Singer Sargent in the 19th century, through Vermeer, Rembrandt and Caravaggio, and further back in time. How far can you go?

MEET THE ARTISTS Meet great artists through short introductions and "Did You Know?" facts. Tap any tile at any time to read about that artist.

COMPLETE THEIR MASTERPIECES Each artist is represented by one painting, split into puzzle pieces. The first time an artist appears in a game, you earn one of their pieces. Your score also turns into paint, which fills in more pieces over time, so you can complete the artwork puzzles even for artists you haven't managed to reach.

REVEAL AND COLLECT When a puzzle is complete, the full artwork is revealed with its story and a link to learn more about the artwork. Watch your gallery grow, from Madame X and The Milkmaid to The Night Watch, with many more waiting to be revealed.
