TokoToko

About

TokoToko lets you solve puzzles by sketching on physical paper that interacts with augmented reality. You assist Hako, a spirited aspiring artist, as she searches for lost Tokotokos, quirky creatures from a world where creativity defines identity. Each puzzle requires drawing objects that influence the AR world, helping Hako charm these eccentric beings. The Tokotokos range from scribbling poets to rhythm-obsessed musicians, and winning their trust means navigating their bold personalities. The game’s charm lies in its tactile gameplay blending real-world doodles with digital environments. Players appreciate the lighthearted story and inventive use of AR, though puzzles occasionally lean repetitive. With a 78% on Metacritic, it appeals to fans of whimsical adventures. Available on mobile since 2019, it’s a short but colorful experience that emphasizes creativity over complexity.
