Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo brings the handcrafted humor of the famous claymation duo to an action-exploration adventure.

Each area offers a mix of combat, obstacles, secrets, and small puzzles that encourage players to observe their surroundings and figure out the best way to progress.

Gromit has agile moves to navigate dangers—such as backflips, headspins, and tiptoeing—allowing him to evade zookeepers, monkeys, and Feathers' henchmen. He is also aided by Wallace’s wacky inventions, including a porridge gun, a coal launcher, a banana launcher, and a knitting machine. These gadgets lend the action a playful, distinctive tone, aligning more with the series' comedic spirit than with a serious combat adventure.
To traverse certain sections more quickly, the pair can use various modes of transport, ranging from spring-loaded boots and a mine cart to a sled and an autogyro. These moments add variety to the experience and reinforce the sense of a zany escapade. All in all, Project Zoo combines platforming, puzzle-solving, and light action in a rescue story designed to capture the charm of Wallace & Gromit: outlandish inventions, chases, and good-natured humor that accompanies the adventure from start to finish.
