The term digital toy is sometimes used to distinguish certain applications from more typical virtual games. Although most of the aspects between them are the same, Toca Boca singles out digital toys as more "open" with fewer rules. However, neither is it believed, nor was it proven, that it has a more or less harmful or beneficial effect on players. Although these "digital toys" are aimed at children, does not mean it, that they are only intended for children.
