Gameplay
Vision Interactive Adventure is a 2D side-scrolling platforming game. The game supports up to five players co-operatively, with gameplay altering slightly depending on whether the game is being played with one or multiple players.

There are five different stories the player(s) can play through in the game, each of which focuses on a different subject; Oddblock Rescue (communication and literacy), Pip's Party (mathematics and numeracy), Time Travel (history), Mixed-Up Mayhem (French) and Venturous Voyage (geography). Each of the stories is divided into approximately six chapters, with each chapter taking around two to ten minutes. Whilst gameplay and objectives differ slightly depending on the story chosen, all of them generally focus on exploring the area, doing missions for non-playable characters, solving puzzles and answering questions based on the story's subject. There is no way to lose in the game - if the player fails their objective, they simply have to reset the section from the beginning.

The game also features a Competition mode, which allows the player(s) to play eight different minigames which involve thinking and problem-solving. The player(s) can also pick Marathon, which allows them to play through all eight minigames, and score points based on their performance. Since there are no computer opponents, if only one player is playing, they will always be regarded as a winner, even if they score no points.
