Jazzpunk is a single-player first-person adventure game focusing on exploration and comedy over puzzle-solving. Each mission has one central objective but the player is free to explore the game world at their own pace which is populated with a large number of interactive NPCs each with their own action or gag. Mini-games including mini-golf a Frogger clone and a version of Duck Hunt in which the player pelts cardboard ducks with slices of bread from a toaster also feature prominently in the game's storyline.
