The journey to reach an island is an interactive game element steering a ship. To travel to an island berries are used as a currency. New islands are discovered gradually by completing missions. Shells are used to build homes, buy decorations and upgrade buildings.

Construction is done with shells as currency. Some of these produce currencies such as berries. Each animal generally provides a new type of building. The main village is the starting location and it gradually expands when more animals are brought back. It is up to Sid, Manny, Diego and other animals to bring the herd back together as they have drifted apart on smaller ice islands. The game starts with the popular Scrat scene where the squirrel tries to get an acorn out of the ice, but manages to break up the entire ice world. Unlike the first game it now has voice-acting for the characters as well. It continues the builder/tycoon aspect with the expansion of a village, but now combines it with mini-games and exploration of different islands. Ice Age: Adventures is the follow-up to Ice Age: Village based on the Ice Age franchise of animated movies.
