I believe the answer is:

enigma

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'puzzle solved in game mode' is the definition.
'enigma' can be an answer for 'puzzle' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'solved in game mode' bit.

'in game mode' is the wordplay.
'mode' is an anagram indicator (another mode or version of the letters).
'in'+'game'='ingame'
'ingame' with letters rearranged gives 'ENIGMA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enigma that I've seen before include "'Puzzle, riddle (6)'" , "Gamine being a bit of a puzzle" , "WW2 code" , "It's mysterious, difficult to understand" , "Mysterious puzzle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
