Betilla's House
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.
Activities and Options within Betilla's house

The Colouring Workshop - Accessible by a colouring book found on Betilla's sofa, players can print out black and white images of Rayman and his friends for colouring in. Some copies of the game came with a free pack of colouring pencils, presumably to encourage this.

Trivia
- An alternate version of the image of Betilla's House appears in a French press release booklet for Rayman 3 on a page regarding the original game. Here, it is shown in an sunset with more vibrant shading.
- If the game is left alone for a while inside the house, Joe the Extra-Terrestrial will briefly appear on the mobile of Saturn hung from the ceiling. This cameo is his only appearance in the game.
