Design notes

Letter from the play designer

Hello and a very warm welcome to Toca Life: School!

Toca Life: School is the third app in the Toca Life series. Like all the apps in the Toca Life series, Toca Life: School puts your child in the director’s seat, giving them the control to make up their own stories. That’s why you’ll find few predefined animations and no scripted scenarios or rules, so that your child decides what happens to the inhabitants of Toca Life, and no one else.

Introducing a completely new cast of characters and scenes unique to Toca Life: School. We hope you find everything you and your child need to tell stories about their school life, such as getting ready for school at the house, experimenting with chemistry in class, grabbing lunch in the school cafeteria as well as playing on the playground at recess or just hanging out in the youth club after school.

If you know your child likes to make a mess, we’ve added a special feature to the cafeteria to support food fights and, of course, cleaning up afterward. If you find things get too messy, just tap our reset button in the map view and everything will be magically tidied up. And because school rocks, you’ll find instruments in the youth club to put on a musical performance.

With updates and more exciting additions to the Toca Life series coming in the near future, we hope you will find Toca Life a place that encourages the storyteller in everyone, and makes anything possible.

Enjoy your time here!
Willow Mellbratt, Play Designer

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.

reset_buttonResetting
Moving around stuff can after a while become a bit too messy. If you want to do a quick cleanup you just have to tap our reset button in the top right-hand corner of the map screen and everything will be magically tidied. Also all of your characters’ hairstyles and clothing will reset to their default settings.

storage_iconStorage
Are you missing some items you have seen before? Or maybe you’d like to redecorate your home? Head over to the storage location on the map. In it you can find seasonal items and outfits that have been packed away. You’ll also find a bunch of storage boxes you can bring with you and fill up. Maybe pack a box with things you don’t use right now and move it to storage for later use.

 

settings_buttonSettings
If you’d like to have a bit of peace and quiet while your kids are playing Toca Life: City, 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.
