Moana: Island Life was a mobile game based on the 2016 film.The gameplay used a "tycoon-style" format similar to FarmVille or other similar game titles where the player can build his/her own island inspired from the film. Players could harvest crops and collect resources to trade with other villagers to collect virtual currencies and XP points to reach higher levels as well as also using canoes to explore other parts of the islands. The player has a limited amount of space to hold a number of resources, so to expand, the player must collect a number of required storage items to increase the storage.

The player's main currencies were coins and jade. These currencies could be used for many means such as purchasing important resource objects, clearing adjacent land, speeding up timers, etc. Additional coins could be purchased using jade while additional jade could be purchased with real-world money.
