Sanrio is the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty, who first appeared in 1974. Since then it has created hundreds of characters, from the lazy egg Gudetama to the cloud-like puppy Cinnamoroll. Fans vote for their favourites every year in the Sanrio Character Ranking, which Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin have both won many times.
The 11 Sanrio tiles
The ladder starts with Sanrio’s quirkier characters and climbs to its most famous face. Gudetama is a lazy egg yolk, and Aggretsuko is the red panda office worker who sings death metal at karaoke. Badtz-Maru the penguin, Keroppi the frog, Pochacco the puppy and Pompompurin the golden retriever come next. Little Twin Stars Kiki and Lala share the 128 tile, with the rivals Kuromi and My Melody right behind. Cinnamoroll, the puppy with long ears who can fly, is the 1024 tile, and Hello Kitty takes the 2048 tile as the character who started it all in 1974.

How to play Sanrio 2048
Slide every tile at once
Use your arrow keys ( ← ↑ ↓ → ) or W A S D to move the tiles.
All tiles slide as far as they can in that direction, and a new Gudetama tile appears after every move.
Play on your phone
On a phone or tablet, swipe anywhere on the board to move the tiles.
Your game is saved in your browser, so you can pick it up later on the same device.
Match two to unlock the next
When two tiles with the same picture touch, they merge into one.
Two Gudetama tiles make Aggretsuko, and every merge adds the new tile’s value to your score.
Reach the final tile
The goal is to build the 2048 tile: Hello Kitty.
You can keep playing after you reach it and chase an even higher score.
2048Tips to win Sanrio 2048
- Keep your biggest friend in one corner. If Cinnamoroll lives there, build another one right next to it and Hello Kitty is just one merge away.
- Make a tidy row that gets smaller away from the corner: My Melody, Kuromi, Little Twin Stars, Pompompurin. Then merges flow towards the corner in order.
- Merge the small Gudetama and Aggretsuko tiles quickly. Leaving them spread around the board fills up empty squares and makes it hard to move without breaking your row.
Sanrio 2048 FAQ
What is the final tile in Sanrio 2048?
The final tile is Hello Kitty. She was created in 1974 and is Sanrio’s best-known star, with her signature red bow. Every other character on the ladder came later, so she fits best at the very top.
Are Kuromi and My Melody both in the game?
Yes. Kuromi is the 256 tile and My Melody is the 512 tile, right next to each other on the ladder. My Melody debuted in 1975, and Kuromi arrived in 2005 as her mischievous rival.
Is Sanrio 2048 an official Sanrio game?
No. It is a fan-made puzzle that uses character names as tile labels with standard emoji pictures. It does not use Sanrio artwork and is not made by or connected to Sanrio.
Can I play Sanrio 2048 on a tablet?
Yes. The game runs in the browser on tablets, phones and computers. Swipe to move the tiles on a touch screen, or use the arrow keys on a keyboard. No app is needed.
