Introducing Toca Boca x Pusheen ! Our newest collaboration focuses on the concept of "No Plots, Just Vibes", encouraging players to create their own stories without set narratives. Drawing on meme culture and the idea of romanticizing the everyday, the content is centered around simple, relatable moments like spending time with pets or relaxing at home, themes that resonate with both Toca Boca and Pusheen®’s audiences. “The collaboration with Pusheen® allows us to offer something with a lot of vibes to our players – simple, playful moments that don’t require any complex storytelling. It’s about letting kids explore creativity in their own way. We’ve taken inspiration from streetwear fashion trends to make it feel urban and relatable to our target audience. Oversized, layered, comfy, fluffy and fun!” says Mathilda Engman, Head of Creative at Toca Boca. The collaboration includes the Pusheen® Style Pack, filled with cute streetwear and cozy clothes, accessories and hairstyles inspired by Pusheen®, available in the Toca Boca World in-app shop from November 26th. A free in-app gift event running from November 21st–25th will see seven Toca Boca x Pusheen® gifts available to be claimed by players. “Pusheen®’s playful personality has made her a favorite with fans around the world.

We’re so excited to announce our latest partnership and first ever artist collaboration, Toca Boca X Conan Gray! "Conan Gray connects effortlessly with a young generation through his music and social channels, which is one of the many reasons why we’re so excited to welcome him into Toca Boca World,” says Alexandra Svärdh, Senior Brand Manager at Toca Boca. “He is a true role model for self-expression, a core value that Toca Boca as a brand has always stood for. With this collaboration, we hope to instill a powerful message that it’s okay to be different and that it’s okay to be yourself.” Toca Boca World players will unlock nine iconic Conan Gray styles, as well as a music player loaded with some of his biggest hits – empowering them to tell their own stories using the artist's music and outfits, reflecting Conan's style, both on and off stage. Conan worked closely with us to develop, co-design, and curate the collaboration, viewing it as an opportunity to connect with fans in new, exciting ways. “It’s so special to be the first artist in Toca Boca World. The little Conan characters, which embody different versions of myself as a person and artist, are so cute to watch perform on the stage and interact with the world,” says Conan Gray. “I had so much fun making the outfits, hairstyles, and accessories — I hope everybody enjoys their miniature Conan!” The time-limited collaboration kicks off on June 14th with an in-game gift event where players can claim a free gift every day leading up to the official launch on June 18th, and it will end on August 13th.
