Throughout the production and development process, Toca Boca designers were sensitive to the fact that Toca Boo has a few elements that some kids might find frightening. We combined this with a lot of humour and fun to create the unique experience that is Toca Boo.” We took inspiration from reading books like Who will Comfort Toffle to our own children, and watching how fascinated they were by the magical melancholic atmosphere in Tove Jansson’s world of the Moomins. Toca Boca Play Designer, Chris Lindgren, comments: “With Toca Boo, we wanted to explore and create a rather unusual mood for a children’s app – it’s a little spooky, a little scary and has some exciting tension it recreates the fun of traditional hide and seek, and scaring family and friends. Kids can hide behind furniture and in dark corners, and simply tap the character they wish to scare… the biggest reaction will come from hiding and jumping out to shout BOO! Sometimes the poor victims of the prank will be so scared they’ll run from the room, providing the perfect opportunity to chase them! It’s an hour before bedtime and Bonnie has dressed up as a ghost, sneaking around the house trying to make her family jump – it’s your job to help her! Drag Bonnie the ghost around the house and sneak up on family members when they least expect it. The main character, Bonnie, lives in a big old house with her family. There are no rules, with the app being inherently non-competitive and encouraging open-ended play and creativity. As with all of Toca Boca’s digital toys, Toca Boo has an intuitive, child-friendly interface, and there are no in-app purchases or external advertising. Launching on Thursday 23rd October (£1.99/ €2,69), just in time for Halloween, Toca Boo captures the feeling of a giggling kid hiding behind the curtain and jumping out to scare mum or dad. Toca Boo is a spooky new app from Swedish developer Toca Boca, aimed at kids aged 3 – 6 years.
