The player plays as Miley and Hannah by exploring Crowley Corners and interacting with Miley's family and friends during quests. Players unlock key items for concerts - like songs and concert venues - as quests are completed. In concert mode, players perform on six different stages (unlocked during story mode) to 9 Hannah songs. Players can join band members and play with them on the drums, keyboard or guitar. Points are given at performances and when a task is completed and can be used to buy more clothes and accessories. The Z-Phone is the tool for figuring out quests and navigating the way around Crowley Corners. When someone receives a call, a small icon will flash on screen. The phone is used to keep track of achievements and unlockable items. It also displays the map that is used to move to different locations in Crowley Corners, marks the progress in the mission objectives and is used to take the player to the tour bus. The player will also play various mini games to earn achievement points or trophies and unlock new game content. Mini games can be played in story or Quick Play Mode.
