To rescue captured Silly Bandz, players use the Bandz in their in-game collection to take aim at the cages in each level. Once free, the Silly Bandz join players' collections and can then be used to help rescue others. Players will need to think strategically about their collection to determine the best Silly Bandz for each battle, as some Silly Bandz feature special powers, such as multiplying themselves or exploding in air.

As players progress, 200 Silly Bandz are unlocked over 40 levels in four environments that add exciting outdoor, marine, party and fantasy locations to the game. With so many Silly Bandz on the line, players need to stay on the alert for enemies trying to sabotage the rescue operation. Silly Bandz also features local multiplayer versus mode, which allows two players to battle it out to see who can free the most Silly Bandz and score the most points.

To add even more fun to playing with Silly Bandz on the DS, the game is bundled with a 12-pack of exclusive video game themed Silly Bandz, including game controller, joystick, arcade machine and pinball game shapes.
