The general objective of the games is to create a series of Rube Goldberg devices: arrange a given collection of objects in a needlessly complex fashion so as to perform some simple task (for example, "put the ball into a box" or "light a candle"). Available objects ranged from simple ropes and pulleys to electrical generators, bowling balls and even cats and mice. The levels usually have some fixed objects that cannot be moved by the player, and so the only way to solve the puzzle is carefully arrange the given objects around the fixed items. There is also a "freeform" option that allows the user to "play" with all the objects with no set goal or to also build their own puzzles with goals for other players to attempt to solve.

You pick either of the two to enter in the race as you compete against Das Liquidators, Cools City Maulers, and Odessa King. There are stops along the race where you must answer science questions relating to the location (eg. questions about sound at the rock concert). The more questions you can answer correctly, the more money you earn. The money is then used to choose a mode of transport to the next stop, ranging from running to jetpacking. The more expensive transportation gets you to the next stop faster so you can beat your opponents.

Turbo Science taught kids science concepts in a fun and accessible manor. The game also came with an informative booklet that taught about all of the different subjects discussed in the game.
