## What is Merge Map?

Merge Map is a number puzzle game where you clear the fog and reveal an infinite grid, one merge at a time.
HOW TO PLAY
Select two adjacent number tiles to merge them. Tiles merge when their values are equal (5+5) or add up to 10 (3+7, 1+9, 2+8, 4+6). Every successful merge reveals nearby tiles and expands the world around you.
FEATURES
• Infinite expanding grid — the map grows as you explore
• Fog of war — only merged tiles reveal their neighbors
• Frozen tiles — thaw them with nearby merges to unlock new numbers
• Bomb tiles — count down with each merge; explode to reveal a 5×5 area
• Lives system — wrong moves cost lives; watch an ad to continue
• Hints — 3 free hints per session; earn more by watching a short ad
• High score tracking across sessions
STRATEGY
Plan your merges carefully. Frozen tiles block paths until unlocked. Bomb tiles can work in your favor — let them explode to clear fog fast. Watch the grid size grow as you push the boundaries of the map.
No time limits. No levels. Just you and the infinite grid.
