3rd place - Toys to life: Tori (Bandai Namco)

2019 | Electronic Toys | Winners

Here’s what the TOMMI Kids’ Jury has to say: “Tori” should win 3rd place at the TOMMI Awards because it’s a creative kit that combines painting, crafts, and fun gameplay. Let’s build a cool spaceship together and paint it—then it can actually fly in the app. We’ll have to steer really well, though, because there are lots of obstacles. When we launch things with a catapult, that’s when the real action starts. The levels are really varied. “Tori” is easy to figure out, and the graphics were absolutely awesome.

Here’s what the expert jury says: In “Tori,” reality and fiction blur like in almost no other game. On top of that, the game really challenges players’ creativity: children can integrate objects they’ve designed themselves into the game. This allows them to create individual and unique game worlds. While “Tori Supreme Builder” challenges spatial thinking, “Tori Jungle Rescue” has children solving various puzzles. The high level of interactivity and the 3D graphics make for a highly entertaining experience. Very captivating.

Caution regarding the protection of minors: The app transmits data—such as the user ID and device name—to external servers. This could be used to create user profiles. Tip: Use the app offline!
