'''Betilla's House''' is a key location from [[''Rayman Activity Centre'']], acting as the main menu of the game which also contains various bonus activities. When a player starts a game for the first time, [[Betilla the Fairy]] (who is introduced to the player by [[Rayman]], who gets her attention by jumping noisily on a cloud) gives a tutorial explaining the basic features of the game. The house has both an exterior and and interior.
