"Matching games are incredibly popular in today's mobile gaming market. Most of these games incorporate items like candy or jewels, but School of Dragons: Alchemy Adventure provides a fun science twist," said Lori Berget, Executive Producer for JumpStart. "Alchemy Adventure uniquely integrates chemistry into an entertaining puzzle game allowing players to learn more about elements, compounds and the periodic table."

School of Dragons: Alchemy Adventure initially includes 40 levels of Match-3 fun to help players learn science and chemistry. Players will learn about elements, chemical compounds, and can even create special boosts by using elements from specific groups such as metals, halogens, and noble gases. Players are able to connect to Facebook to play with friends, and can also connect existing School of Dragons accounts to transfer rewards earned in Alchemy Adventure.

"Not only are we introducing the first educational Match-3 game to the market, Alchemy Adventure also marks the next critical step in the expansion of the already powerful School of Dragons educational brand," said David Lord, JumpStart CEO. "By launching this innovative mobile game in alliance with DreamWorks, we're continuing to spread the excitement of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise to even more audiences across the globe."

The new game is the companion to JumpStart's School of Dragons, a critically-acclaimed multiplayer game based on DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon and its sequel How to Train Your Dragons 2 - the highest grossing animated feature of 2014. Since School of Dragons' initial web browser launch in July 2013, the game has grown to a user base of over 12 million players, and School of Dragons for iPad® has been ranked a Top 20 free app and Top 10 free game in the App Store.

The new School of Dragons: Alchemy Adventure is available on iTunes®, Google Play™, Amazon®, and Facebook, and is coming soon to Windows®.
