As a part of the character creation, Legends of Chima Online allowed the choice from one of the animal warriors tribes: Bear, Eagle, Gorilla, or Lion.

Other features included an open world, missions to complete, secret areas to explore, and the ability to build and customize characters and their equipment.

During Spring 2014, a special event called the Eagle's Challenge was released where players had to look for Sugar Pits (Melting Caves) around CHIMA by following a trail of sweets on the ground.

While there were some differences between the browser and iOS versions regarding the user interface, they shared the same code base in order to apply the updates for both at the same time.
