Each chapter takes place at a different dig site, and begins with the player using the PlayStation Move controller to simulate different tools, with the goal of excavating the skeletal remains of a dinosaur, then using them to reconstruct the beast.

The game also features questions to test the player's knowledge, with each section culminating in a five-question quiz.

Each chapter also tells a different story, introducing different characters and dinosaur species.

Depending on their performance in the activities, the player will receive gold, silver, or bronze medals.

Each activity also features a number of fact cards to find and collect.
