You can squirt the shapes out into the lower part of the fridge, where they attach to each other and random objects in various configurations.Īnd then there’s the laboratory, where you mix and match test tubes of liquids along with eyeballs and peppers and crystals to create bulbs of potion. In the fridge, there’s a large pink blob that has more little shapes floating around inside it. Tap its teeth like a marimba and figure out how to bring in choruses of ghosts and other weird creatures. You can tug its ears, nose, and even its eyeballs to add various voices or instruments. Up the stairs, you’ll find these two robed beings who present you with various shapes-a cube, a cylinder, a sphere-that you manipulate by tapping, swiping, and spinning so that they open up and unlock the secrets inside.ĭown in the basement there lives a monster head that plays music. When you enter the house, you can swipe left and right to walk around the hallway, in which you’ll spot peeling wallpaper, cracks in the walls (usually with glowing eyes peeking out), and various doors.Įach doorway leads to a different room (sometimes through additional hallways) with strange creatures and objects to interact with. Toca Mystery House is in the vein of these other apps, dropping you into an environment with no obvious indications what you should be doing. Toca Kitchen lets you mix up crazy foods and feed them to a goofy person, who reacts in hilarious ways. For instance, Toca Lab Plants lets you manipulate various plants, crossbreeding them or exposing them to different stimuli, resulting in new types of plants. I’ve mentioned before that my kids (even the older ones) still love playing with the Toca Life apps, which are a bit like digital dollhouses: you have people and animals that you can move around from setting to setting, putting things in their hands, opening and closing doors and drawers, and all sorts of other things.Ī few of Toca Boca’s apps, however, have a slightly different approach: they don’t use the familiar characters and play style, but instead have a little more of an experimental nature. Toca Boca’s latest app, Toca Mystery House, gives kids some weird and wondrous rooms to explore.
