To talk about

With Toca Boca World, we want to supply a toolbox that will let you and your child act out as many different situations as possible. You can play hide and seek, clean up a messy place or prepare a family breakfast. It’s especially interesting to explore everyday situations that your kid isn’t usually in charge of, like getting ready for school or going shopping at the mall. What would happen if your kid were the boss of these things? A lot of unexpected things maybe, but you might also find a lot more responsibility than you thought your kid was capable of in these situations. What else would you be interested in seeing your kid handle?

Explore the locations

Toca Boca World is filled with different places and experiences. All players start with the Bop City District which has things like a hair salon, theatre, and apartment. Each location offers possibilities of different kinds of play where you can create any story you want. There are even a few secrets hidden here and there for you to find! If you want more locations there are many other places available in the Shop, like a shopping mall, waterpark or a central train station.

Home Designer

With Home Designer you can design and build houses. In some of the districts of the map a blue button appears at the bottom of the screen. Tap it to select and build your first house on the map. When built you can enter it and by going into the Home Designer Inventory in the top right corner you can access all furniture and items that you have available in the tool. Wanna get even more options? In the Shop you can buy Furniture Packs with more furniture and items and also packs that offer buildings like homes and restaurants. You can then freely mix and match with all the content from the different packs you have to create something truly unique.

Character Creator

The Character Creator allows you to create and customize unique characters for your stories. You can choose hairstyles, facial features, skin tones, outfits and much more. The free version of Character Creator allows you to create 3 characters and includes lots of outfits, accessories and customization options.

If you want to expand your possibilities you can buy the Character Creator Upgrade in the Shop which gives you the possibility to create a total of 30 slots and thousands of customization options including outfits, accessories, hairstyles, and facial features. In the Shop you can also find Style packs which gives you even more options to design the characters you want. You can access the Character Creator in the top right corner of the map or in the bottom left corner if you open the Sidewalk inside a location.

Sidewalk

When you are in a location you can find all characters by tapping the sidewalk sign in the bottom right corner. Here you can find a few different buttons that sort the characters into different categories. The heart contains all the characters in the app, then you can find categories for babies, kids, adults, and old people. There is also a category for the characters you have made yourself in the Character Creator and the bottom left corner a button that takes you directly to the Character Creator tool. With the sidewalk, you can also transport the characters and anything they are holding between locations.

Character Expressions

Another button you can find when you are in a location is the Character Expressions button which is placed in the bottom left corner. With this tool you can apply one of the many emotions available to a character. Just select one of the emotions and drag it on to the character. You can also just tap on an emotion and then tap on the character you want to give the emotion to. This is great when you want to create a specific story. Maybe someone is sad, angry or fallen in love? Use the tool to show how your character feel!

Gifts

Every week you can get free gifts! You can notice a gift symbol on the play button on the start screen if you have one waiting for you. Head over to the Post Office and Bop City and tap the button next to the conveyor belt. Then just open and enjoy your free gifts! All your previously claimed gifts can be found on the shelves in the Post Office if you have either reset the app or thrown a gift in the trashcan… or toilet.

Resetting

If your locations are starting to feel a bit too messy, you can do a quick cleanup by pressing and holding the reset button in the top right corner of the map screen. Everything in all locations will be magically tidied and reset to their default states. However, the characters you made in Character Creator and furniture you placed in Home Designer Buildings will not be reset.

Shop

If you want to purchase new Home Designer furniture, locations or other type of content beyond what the Toca Boca World app comes with, enter the Shop. You find the green shop button on the app’s start screen and in the top left corner of the map. Once you’re in the shop, you can find loads of different purchasable things you can add to your world. If you don’t want the shop to appear in the app, you can turn it off in the app settings.

Screen recording

If you see a blue film reel icon in the top right corner when you’re in a location it means you can use the screen recording feature. It records your microphone 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 save or delete your video.

This feature is currently unavailable on Android devices.

Storage

Are you missing some items you have seen before? Or maybe you’d like to redecorate? 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 need right now and move it to storage for later use.
