The main goal of the game is to obtain the [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|rare treasures]] scattered throughout Draconia and assert the blue-eyed brother and sister as the ultimate treasure hunters--no less than 777 precious possessions are hidden away in the fabled floating islands. To track these down, the player can freely explore the world with the help of the [[List of monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures|monsters they scout]]. Thanks to the [[Fortune Finder]] skill and [[List of fortes in Dragon Quest Treasures|the travelling traits of their new friends]], Erik and Mia can find hidden treasures all over Draconia. Using the Fortune Finder allows the siblings to see what their monster partners see, which allows them to easily locate loot the player would otherwise miss. Each monster's vision is different, for instance the vision from a [[restless armour]] is obstructed by the visor of its helmet, while a [[dracky]] sees in monochrome.

The combat is action based and takes place in real-time, with the player controlling one of the children at a time while AI handles up to three monsters help defeat the foes. Erik and Mia can fight up close and personal with their newly acquired [[dragon daggers]] or pick enemies off at a distance by shooting them with [[Catapult|catapult pellets]] that offer a variety of effects ranging from elemental damage, healing and buffing allies, and inflicting status ailments.
