Welcome to the ultimate guide for Toca Life: World enthusiasts! If you love designing dream homes, creating unique characters, and telling stories, this DIY craft guide is for you. While Toca Boca isn't a building game like Minecraft, there are countless ways to "craft" your own fun by combining items, stacking furniture, and using your imagination.


In this post, we will look at how to build custom spaces, design amazing outfits, and play in new creative ways. Let's get started!

1. DIY Home Design Hacks

The Home Designer tool allows you to place furniture, but the real magic happens when you start combining items to create things that aren't in the catalog. Here are some "building" hacks for your interiors.

The Bunk Bed "Build"

The game provides standard beds, but you can make a custom loft bed or bunk bed setup using the stacking glitch method (placing items on shelves):

  • The Base: Use a high shelf or a dresser as the base structure.
  • The Bed: Place a sleeping bag or a floor cushion on top of the elevated surface.
  • The Ladder: Use a step stool or stack small boxes to simulate a ladder leading up to the bed.

The Outdoor Cinema

Want to give your characters a movie night under the stars? You can craft an outdoor theater in any backyard or balcony.

  • The Screen: Use a large white painting or a whiteboard from the school set as your "screen."
  • The Projector: Place a camera or a small box on a table facing the screen to act as the projector.
  • Seating: Drag floor pillows, bean bags, and blankets outside for cozy seating.
  • Snacks: Don't forget to grab popcorn from the cinema location and place it around the seating area!

2. Character Styling and Fashion Crafts

Designing characters is a huge part of Toca Boca World. Instead of sticking to one style, try these DIY fashion challenges to expand your creativity.

The "Mix & Match" Challenge

Go to the Character Creator. The rule for this craft is that you must pick items that don't usually go together. For example:

  • Pair a formal tuxedo jacket with beach shorts.
  • Use a spooky Halloween mask with a cute floral dress.
  • Dye the hair a neon color that contrasts with the outfit.

This helps create unique "villains" or "eccentric" characters for your stories.

The DIY Spa Day

You can "craft" a spa experience by using facial masks. Go to the beauty salon or the bathroom furniture section. When you apply a face mask (like the cucumber slices or the clay mask) to a character, it changes their look temporarily. Use this to film "Get Ready With Me" style roleplays.

3. Storytelling: How to "Build" a Plot

Content creators know that a good video needs a good story. Here is a DIY guide to building a narrative arc for your next blog post or video.

The Scavenger Hunt

Hide items around the map and have your main character look for them.
Idea: Hide 5 specific diamonds (the colorful gems found in various locations like the theater or bank). The character must find all 5 to "unlock" a secret party at the end of the video.

The School Drama

Utilize the High School location. Assign roles to your characters: The Teacher, The Class Clown, The Athlete, and The New Student. Create a conflict, such as a lost backpack or a pop quiz, and act out how the characters react.

4. Official Resources and Safety
