Hey there!
What do you like to do in your free time? There’s a sweet spot in life after the school day ends but before you get home. In Toca Life: After School, we’ve created a community house packed with all sorts of activities for you to engage in. Play basketball, create paintings, make a dance routine, enjoy some skateboarding and much more. Find and do what you enjoy most! As with all of the apps in the Toca Life series, Toca Life: After School puts kids in the director’s seat to make up their own stories. There are no rules or scripted scenarios; it’s all up to your kid to decide what happens to the inhabitants of Toca Life.
We hope you’ll enjoy yourselves playing Toca Life: After School. Expect updates and more exciting additions to the Toca Life series soon!

How to play
Map
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 the hats and masks you find lying around onto their heads.
Change characters’ clothes by dragging outfits 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 changing channels on the radio.
Tap some objects, like a water faucet or doors, to get different results.
Everything is saved the way you left it as you leave each location. There are lots of things to do, like throwing stuff in the trash, cook food and go to sleep. Explore the app with a curious mind and you’ll find a lot of surprises!
Sidewalk
All your characters can be accessed by tapping the sidewalk sign in the bottom right-hand 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.
Screen recording
You might notice a blue film reel icon in the top right corner when you are in a location. This is the screen recording feature. It records microphone input along with anything you do on the screen. Press the button to activate it and you and your kids can record the stories they make. Each recording lasts a maximum of two minutes. Afterward you can choose to preview, export to camera roll or delete your video.
Settings
If you’d like to have a bit of peace and quiet while your kids are playing Toca Life, just go to settings on your device and switch off the music in the app. You also have 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.
