What to do
On the map screen, tap on a building to visit one of the various locations. You’ll find lots of things to do in each location.

Characters

• Move characters around to act out situations.
• Dress up characters by dragging hats and masks lying around onto their heads.
• Change characters’ clothes by dragging them onto their bodies.
• Give characters food or drinks by dragging edible items to their mouths.
• Give characters things to hold by dragging objects to their hands. If you give a character an item to hold, they’ll bring it with them even if you go to another location.

Objects

• Move objects around to set up for different scenarios.
• Toggle certain objects by tapping them, such as putting out and lighting candles and programming on a laptop computer.
• Tap some objects — like the water faucet in the kitchen or fridge doors — to get different results.

Everything is saved the way you left it as you leave a location. There are lots of things to do like throwing stuff in the trash, flushing the toilet and taking a shower. Explore the app with a curious mind and you’ll find a lot of surprises!

Sidewalk
You can find all your characters by tapping the sidewalk sign in the bottom right corner. You can also transport the characters and anything they are holding between locations via the sidewalk.

Resetting
If your locations are starting to feel a bit too messy, you can do a quick cleanup by pressing the reset button in the top right corner of the map screen. Everything will be magically tidied and all of your characters’ hairstyles and clothing will reset to their default settings.

Settings
If you’d like to have a bit of peace and quiet while your kids are playing Toca Life, just go to settings at the top right corner on your start screen. If you tap this you can switch off the music in the app. This also gives you the option to turn off the icons on the start screen for what we call Toca News, as well as for the For Grown-Ups section, which you are reading now.
