Press Start 1: The First Doorway

Book 1 of "Press Start." When Grandpa's old arcade cabinet hums to life, Shane and his little sister Allie are pulled through the screen into Pixelport — a hub of glowing doorways where every game is real. Their first doorway leads to Brickbury, a block-building village whose bridge has been scattered by a glitch storm, and the blocks will only stack for someone the villagers trust. Can Shane's gamer instincts and Allie's people instincts rebuild the bridge before sunset — and who is the mysterious voice crackling through the speakers?

What you'll discover

As you move through the story and make choices, your DISC personality profile takes shape across four traits:

  • The Fearless Charger

    You see the goal, you go for the goal. Like Shane at his boldest, you push forward when others hesitate, turning big challenges into beatable levels — and you're learning that the best players bring their whole team across the finish line.

  • The Spark Starter

    You light up every room — or village — you walk into. Like Shane at his most playful, you win people over with energy and heart, and you know that a challenge shared with friends is a challenge half-solved.

  • The Steady Anchor

    You are the calm in every storm, glitch or otherwise. Like Shane at his most patient, you keep the group together, notice who needs help, and prove that slow, steady hands build the strongest bridges.

  • The Pattern Master

    You spot the hidden rules before anyone else even knows there are rules. Like Shane at his sharpest, you study, count, and plan — and when the pieces finally click into place, everyone sees what you saw all along.
