How to Set Up Tonieplay Games on Your Toniebox

Quick answer

To set up Tonieplay games on your Toniebox, connect the Tonieplay Controller to your Toniebox via Bluetooth, place the matching Tonie figure on the box, and follow the audio prompts to start playing. No screen, no app, no fuss.

Step-by-step setup guide

1. Charge and turn on the Tonieplay Controller: Make sure the controller has enough battery. Press and hold the power button until the LED blinks. If the light does not come on, charge it with the included USB cable for about 30 minutes. A solid LED means the controller is ready. A blinking red light means low battery – charge before proceeding.
2. Pair the controller with your Toniebox: On your Toniebox, press and hold the volume button for about 5 seconds until you hear a beep. Then press the pairing button on the controller. The LED on the controller will blink quickly and then stay solid once paired. This only needs to be done once – the controller will remember the box. If the LED keeps blinking after 30 seconds, restart both devices and try again. Make sure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering.
3. Place the Tonieplay game figure on the box: Take the Tonie figure that came with your game (e.g., the Bluey figure for Bluey: Play All Day) and place it on top of the Toniebox. The box will read the figure and begin loading the game. You will hear audio instructions telling you how to use the controller. Wait for the audio prompt before pressing any buttons on the controller. If the game does not start, remove the figure and try again.
4. Follow the audio prompts to play: The game will guide you through the rules using voice and sound effects. Use the controller to make choices – turn the dial, press buttons, or point at options. For example, in Bluey: Play All Day, you might be asked to tap the controller to play Keepy Uppy or press a button to freeze Mum with the Magic Xylophone. No screen is needed – all feedback is audio. If you get stuck, the game will repeat the instructions after a short pause.
5. End the game and store the figure: To stop playing, simply remove the figure from the Toniebox. The game will save your progress automatically. Store the figure safely with the controller so everything is ready for next time. Always remove the figure before turning off the box to avoid corrupting the save data.
