A free number puzzle, ready in your browser

Number Pop is a browser game about connecting adjacent numbers in ascending order. Drag with your finger on a phone, or use a mouse or keyboard on a computer. You can start playing without an account or a download.

Connect at least 3, longer paths score more

Connect three or more adjacent numbers in order, such as 1 → 2 → 3, 2 → 3 → 4 or 3 → 4 → 5, to pop them. A path can be up to five tiles long (1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5), and longer paths jump in value: 3 tiles score 30, 4 tiles 50 and 5 tiles 80. Move horizontally or vertically, never diagonally, and do not skip numbers. Backtrack one tile to undo your last selection.

Choose your challenge

Score Challenge

Start with 90 seconds. Every connection adds time: at level 1, a 3-tile path adds 0.9 seconds, 4 tiles add 1.5 seconds and 5 tiles add 2.4 seconds. Higher levels give less time but bigger score multipliers. You can hold at most 90 seconds, and bonus time is capped at 150 seconds per game. A wrong connection costs 0.3 to 0.7 seconds depending on level and breaks your combo. Choose Relaxed (stays at level 1), Progressive (levels 1 to 10 as you score) or Expert mode (fixed at level 5).

Popbot Duel

Take turns with Popbot on the same board. Choose a target of 400, 700 or 1500 points; the first to reach it wins. Duel links score 30, 50 or 80 points for 3, 4 or 5 tiles, plus 10 if you link within 3 seconds of your turn starting. Whoever falls more than 100 points behind gets a catch-up turn worth double points. Your turn lasts 15 seconds against the Practice bot, 10 seconds against the Challenge bot and 8.5 seconds against the Expert bot. If time runs out, your turn passes to Popbot without scoring.

Daily Challenge

Every day at midnight Korea time, everyone gets the same starting board. Make 20 links without hints for your best score (30, 50 or 80 points for 3, 4 or 5 tiles), and finish once a day to keep your streak going. Records stay in this browser.

Score Challenge scoring: combos, levels and fever

Combo

Every connection adds 1 to your combo. Combos of 5, 15, 30 and 50 multiply your score by 1.2, 1.5, 1.8 and 2. The combo resets if you miss the 3.8 to 5.2 second window or make a wrong connection.

Level

In Progressive mode you level up at 250, 650, 1200, 1800, 2600, 3600, 5000, 6500 and 8500 points, up to level 10. Each level-up adds 1.5 seconds, and from level 3 the score multiplier grows from 1.1 to 2 at level 10.

Popcorn Fever

Connect 25 tiles to trigger Popcorn Fever, which doubles your connection score for 8 seconds.

Final bonus

When the game ends, bonus points are added for your best combo (40 per combo, plus extra at 30, 50 and 100), the level you reached (200 per level) and each five-tile path (80 each).
