The player takes the role of an explorer searching a diamond mine and the temple of an ancient civilization.

The object of the game is to discover and collect the Golden Crown and take it to the peak of the mountain.

[1] The mountain environment is made up of platforms and ladders, with the Perpetual Flame located on the top of the summit.

Diamonds are scattered throughout the level, and treasure chests can be located by using the explorer's flashlight to see in the darkness.

While it is not necessary for the player to descend to the very bottom of the mountain, there are many treasure chests to find there, but these resources are not without peril: a giant spider lurks in the lowest level, and will give chase if the player spends more than a few seconds exploring the bottom.

[2] The game prominently features Edvard Grieg's 1875 composition, In the Hall of the Mountain King from Peer Gynt, after collecting the Golden Crown.
