Falling 2048 is the drop-and-merge version of 2048. One tile waits above a narrow well and players choose the column it lands in. Matching geocaching symbols merge into the next one up, everything settles, and a good drop can set off a chain. A player who builds the goal tile you choose has the cache revealed. The run is checked on the server by replaying the exact drops, so the final coordinates or keyword never sit in the page for a player to peek at, and a faked win will not pass.

Your puzzle
Shown to players as a link to your cache page.
Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.
The tile a player must build to win. The well is only five columns wide, so this is harder than the sliding version at the same number. 128 or 256 suits most caches. 1024 and up is a serious sitting.
What players merge: the geocaching symbol tiles, or plain numbers.
On win, reveal
Shown only after a player reaches your goal tile. Reveal either the final coordinates or a keyword, not both.
