Toca Kitchen is a game where you must use your culinary skills to cook for and feed a pleasant dinner guest.
Differentiating between games and ‘digital entertainment’ can be complicated and in fact even trying the define both concepts is often murky, but a quick look a Toca Boca’s product list shows that there are a lot of titles in the latter category.
Sometimes it’s good to play with no other aim than simply to stimulate the imagination. Giving a kid a goal is a great way to stimulate their problem-solving capacity and discipline, but at certain ages there’s no need to infuse this idea into every single play activity. Toca Boca is a studio focused on this idea, and you can get a good idea of what their apps are like with Toca Kitchen 2, their latest free kids ‘game’ for Android. But what happens when you get rid of the first part of that equation and focus on just enjoying yourself and experimenting with no particular goal? Fundamentally, if you have a good starting point, you can build proper virtual toys without actually ‘gamifying’ any part of the process. The traditional idea behind video games is that you face a challenge that you have to beat and entertain yourself in the process.
