The premise of the game is that high-school nerd Chip McCallahan has met Melinda the Mental Marvel in the school science laboratory and must navigate through Melinda's "Clubhouse", a series of increasingly difficult puzzles, in order to prove himself and gain membership to the very exclusive Bit Busters Club.

''Chip's Challenge'' consists of a series of 148 two-dimensional levels (149 in Microsoft's version) which feature the player character, Nerdy Chip McCallahan,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atarihq.com/reviews/lynx/chips_challenge.html|title=AGH Lynx Review - Chip's Challenge|publisher=AGH|access-date=6 May 2012}}</ref> often called just Chip, and various game elements such as computer chips, buttons, locked doors, water and lethal monsters. Gameplay involves using arrow keys, [[numeric keypad]] or [[computer mouse|mouse]] to move Chip about each of the levels in turn, collecting enough [[integrated circuit|chip]]s to open the chip socket at the end of each level, get to the exit, and move on to the next level.

While the same set of rules applies to each level, there are many different kinds of levels. Some are action-oriented and some are puzzle-oriented. Most levels have a time limit. Levels may include block-pushing puzzles (similar to ''[[Sokoban]]''), dodging enemies, and moving through mazes. Levels can be skipped by entering an appropriate four-letter non-case-sensitive [[password]]. For the PC versions, game progress is automatically saved.  If the player has a lot of trouble with a level, the game gives the option to skip to the next level. Progress is measured in terms of completed levels and player score, which is a sum of the scores obtained on each level. Level scores for timed levels can be improved by quickly completing the level, and scores on all levels can be improved by using fewer attempts to complete the level.
