The game is played from a side-scrolling perspective with platforming and light puzzle-solving at its core. Players control Tintin as he climbs cliffs, crosses icy ledges, avoids hazards, and interacts with the environment to progress. Movement, jumping, climbing, and item use are key actions, and some sections require timing and careful observation. Progress is linear across themed stages that recreate major moments from the comic, with checkpoints and obstacles that demand precision rather than combat-heavy play.

Take your time on icy and narrow sections, since rushing usually leads to slips or falls. Learn enemy patterns before committing to jumps, and use the environment carefully because many hazards are tied to platform timing. When a puzzle blocks progress, revisit nearby screens for interactable objects or alternate routes. Conserving health and avoiding unnecessary risks is more important than speed.
