History

In 2003, Kuju Entertainment hired the Wide Games team to create the video games studio Kuju Brighton.[2] In 2007, Kuju Brighton was rebranded to Zoë Mode.[3][4] The studio's first release under its new name was Crush for Sega.[4] In 2009, Zoe Mode released the puzzle game Chime, produced by the non-profit OneBigGame.[5][6] In 2011, the studio signed the deal to develop Zumba Fitness 2.[7] In June 2013, Zoe Mode signed the deal to develop Rock Revolution.[8]

As of late 2017, all social media channels including their website which now redirects to that of its parent company Kuju Entertainment, have been inactive causing the general assumption that the studio no longer exists.
