About

Originally established as Kuju Brighton, the studio was rebranded as Zoë Mode in 2007 by parent company Kuju Entertainment. The developer is known for titles such as the puzzle game Crush for the PlayStation Portable and various entries in the SingStar series. They specialized in casual, social, and music-themed video games.

Led by studio head Ed Daly, the developer expanded its portfolio by embracing emerging motion-control technologies. The studio created EyeToy: Play Hero (2008) and EyeToy: Play PomPom for the PlayStation 2, utilizing Sony's camera peripheral. They also developed Disney Sing It (2008) and its subsequent sequels, alongside the movie tie-in Grease (2010) for the Wii and Nintendo DS.

To support its growing operations, a second office was opened in London in 2008, focusing primarily on design and pre-production. During this period, the studio created the critically acclaimed music-puzzle game Chime (2010), which donated a portion of its royalties to charity, followed later by Chime Sharp.

Further releases included the fighting game Tournament of Legends (2010), published by Sega, and the dance-fitness title Zumba Fitness World Party (2013) for multiple platforms. Following corporate restructuring under the parent company's subsequent owners, FiftyTye, the studio's development activity declined, and the brand eventually became inactive.
