Players control the Eds, the series' titular characters, to collect raffle tickets for competition in a contest to win a lifetime supply of jawbreakers. Ed, Double D, and Eddy use resourceful means to earn money, solve physical puzzles, interact with neighborhood children, and find hidden goodies. Ed can head-butt; Double D can use a slingshot or a wrench and activate context-sensitive switches; and Eddy can use the hypnotizing wheel or the jetpack. Players control one Ed at a time, each with his own unique strength and weakness, and may dynamically cycle through the three main characters. The game's 29 levels each offer a short animated cut-scene at the beginning and end.
