The object of the game is to build as strong a case as possible and win a conviction with contextual advice and feedback from Law & Order cast members like Sam Waterston and Alana De La Garza. Law & Order: Celebrity Betrayal also features four mini-games that affect the strength of a player's case. At the game's precinct location, players can process evidence and obtain warrants by playing the Warrant Race game, and search for rumors playing the Coffee Run game. While in court, players can play Case Overload or Takeout Dash.

Law & Order: Celebrity Betrayal is to be available on most major U.S. carriers.
