The game is divided into four episodes with a specific goal each, being acquiring a magic key, retrieving the [[Staff of Rain]], searching for the [[Mark of Erdrick]], and slaying the [[Dragonlord]]. Each episode was available to play only during it's broadcast schedule, and completing an episode would have no impact on the others with the exception of the player's score. When an episode's goal is achieved or the timer runs out, the player is Zoom'd to [[Tantagel]] castle to have their progress assessed by [[King Lorik]].
