The player's mission is to collect four DNA samples from a dinosaur chosen at the start of the game. The player goes around Jurassic Park on a board-like version of it. In the game the tokens are Ford Explorers from Jurassic Park, designed for up to 2 players. Danger Zone! also recycles several cutscenes, menu designs, animations, and audio from Jurassic Park III: Dino Defender. The Dino Defender Chief, a character who serves as both an authority figure and narrator, returns from the previous game to guide the player through menus. The player must go to Jurassic Park to retrieve new DNA samples. As in Jurassic Park III: Dino Defender, the player is again cast as a Dino Defender. InGen's supply of dinosaur DNA is nearly destroyed after an earthquake comes to Jurassic Park.
