App description

Toca Life: Vacation continues the 'Toca Boca' series of sandbox style games. The term “sandbox” refers to games that are open to the player’s imagination – where they can freely interact with the environment to create their own fun and games. This version of Toca Life, allows players to explore holiday scenarios such as; the airport, hotels, beaches and islands. Each scene is open to exploration. For example, players on the beach can eat ice cream, lie on towels, build sandcastles, go for a swim, etc. Many items in the environment can also be used and activated simply by pressing and/or dragging to locations. There is also a record feature where players can record their own voice to add to scenes and make up stories.
