Chute: Number Merge Puzzle

Swipe to slide every tile. Matching numbers merge. An orange chute in the wall asks for one number — get that tile into the marked cell and swipe toward the chute to ship it off the board.

How to play

The chute moves somewhere new around the rim after every ship, so there is no safe corner to park your big tile in. Every chute is a small routing puzzle.

Ship on consecutive chutes to build a streak multiplier, up to 5×. Each chute has a fuse measured in moves; if it runs out, the chute seals, your streak resets, and one extra tile drops in.

The chute never asks for more than one merge above your biggest tile, so every request can actually be met.

Modes

Endless — play at your own pace until the board jams. Daily Chute — the same tiles and chutes for everyone, every day. Rush — a clock that only refills when you ship; bigger tiles buy more time.

My score disappeared

Scores are stored on your device only. Deleting the app removes them, and they do not sync between devices.

Where did my game in progress go?

A run is saved after every move and offered back as “Continue” on the home screen. Starting a new game in the same mode discards it.

When does the Daily Chute change?

At midnight US Eastern time, the same moment the daily leaderboard resets.

Why is there no undo in Rush?

Shipping buys time, so undoing a ship would let you keep seconds you gave back. Endless and Daily have three free undos per run.

I don't see leaderboards or achievements

They need Game Center. If you declined the Game Center sign-in, the buttons do not appear and nothing else changes.

How do I turn off vibration?

Tap pause during a game, or use the toggle at the bottom of the home screen. Chute has no sound, by design — haptics are the only feedback.
