Gomez navigates six different parts of the mansion, including the forest and graveyard, to locate his missing family members. Players jump through side-scrolling platform levels while using weapons like a throwing knife to defeat enemies. Collecting hidden stashes of cash is essential to fund the rescue of Morticia, Lurch, Granny, Pugsley, and Wednesday.
