Plot

edit

The game starts with the player character visiting a secluded village library and finding a book full of numbers. The player character becomes so bored that they nod off to sleep and wake up to find a pair of pixies beside them. The pixies ask the character to reply to the question; "do we make ten?". Once the player character has replied to this slightly odd question, the pixies whisk the player character away to Numberland. The King of this strange country asks that the player search throughout Numberland and find the nine Make 10 Masters.

The Trial Mountains

edit

In the trial mountains you will have to play Make 10 games to clear a path to the top of the mountain. Once you defeat the Local Make 10 Champ in a Make 10 contest you will be able to ascend further up the mountain. At base 5 you will have to beat a Grand Champ and at base 10, a Super Champ. The Make 10 Games will grow steadily harder as you progress up the mountain.

The Make 10 Kingdom

edit

The Make 10 kingdom is made up of several areas, some of these include Tenner forest and Toad Hamlet. You will be able to go to new areas when you receive the permission of the Make 10 Masters. The Paths to take you to the Make 10 Masters may sometimes be blocked or inaccessible, but using the stylus to prod secret foliage to reveal access routes never hurt anyone.

The Gathering Point

edit

This is a gathering place for all the Make 10 Pixies. Here you can talk with pixies you have met during your travels and some may have handy hints and tips for the easy completion of certain Make 10 Games, and sometimes you can only progress in the game by talking to one or two specific pixies.
