Rise Of The Dragons
A simple game that requires players to strategically play higher and lower numbers against the computer. The challenge is to calculate which move the player will make next in a series of matches.
Scholastic Inc., a major publisher of children's books, asked us to develop a simple card game. A book written by mega bestselling Angie Sage is Rise Of Dragons. The book includes nine physical cards to unlock the game we developed.
The object of the game is to use dealt cards strategically to defeat an AI opponent. Winning is determined by the card the players play against. If a player reaches fifty points, they win. The objective of the game is to try to outwit the other player and determine which cards they have based on cards in your hand and those on the table.
The game is made for young kids and for fans of Angie Sage's books with the goal of introducing new audiences to her new books.
We provided the following services:
- Game design and development
- Level design
- Custom HTML5 game development
- UI/UX development
- Music and sound design

Learn more about the game development services, platforms and technologies we offered to our client to develop this project.
Scholastic, a major publisher of children's books, commissioned us to make a simple web game. It resulted in a continuing relationship and the development of 19 other games.
The game was developed using our own custom HTML5 game engine with PIXI (an open source rendering engine). You can play the game on any modern web browser, across any platform. Using our discovery, planning, and execution processes, we designed and developed the game in two weeks.
With Mode in Australia and Scholastic in the U.S., we exceeded our clients' expectations and managed our relationship exceptionally well. With Scholastic, other games and brands were developed as a result of this project.

Mode has a level of polish and attention to detail to their work that is impressive and rare as a development partner. I'd recommend that you talk to them about your next game project.
Thank you Mode for believing in the kids we work with and throwing everything that you and the team had at this project. And finally – thanks for delivering a super cool and engaging game. Hip hop meets maths and science – got me hooked!
We had the pleasure to work with the Mode Team on the development of digital learning apps for the Early Learning STEM Australia (ELSA) and the ELSA schools program. The final products (on both occasions) were innovative and conceptually strong, in part because Shane and his team has a unique skill to establish a strong nexus between creative design and functional use.
Mode's commitment to craft has always been impressive. The team is a pleasure to work with, and their instincts for what makes a game feel great mean the final product always lands better than I'd originally imagined. I look forward to the next project we can work on together.
Mode are absolute experts in their domain. Not only did they deliver seamlessly on the execution, but were able to ideate with us along the entire journey. They effortlessly collaborated with our design and engineering teams to integrate the game into a broader campaign experience for our client, and made the process enjoyable every step of the way.
Shane and the team at Mode Games were a pleasure to work with from start to finish and helped us bring our creative concept to life in an engaging way to deliver a great finished game.
