Toca Boca’s Toca Boo brings scary, kid-friendly fun this Halloween

Halloween is just a few days away and what a perfect way to spend the spooky season than with a new scary yet kid-friendly digital toy app from Toca Boca. Toca Boo infuses a bit of scary excitement and humor into its game. It is inspired by traditional Swedish storytelling and Tove Jansson’s works. The game is set in a big old house as you play Bonnie, a girl dressed as a ghost to sneak around the house and scare her family. You must hide behind various objects and wait for your “victims.” When they show up, you just need to tap the person you want to scare and Bonnie will come out and scream “Boo!” The goal is to get as big a scare as possible.
