We’ve seen people do amazing things in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There’s Mari and Harold, a couple who celebrated their wedding anniversary on Mari’s island and documented the beautiful day with a heartwarming video. KFC Philippines, with the help of Ogilvy, actually opened a restaurant in the game. There are players who had their graduation ceremony in New Horizons. Someone recreated scenes from the hit TV show “The Office.” A software engineer actually created Nookazon—a place where you can trade Animal Crossing: New Horizons in-game items. We asked some local Animal Crossing players to share with us their proudest New Horizons moments and to share some tips and tricks. Charisse from Itomori Playing since June 2020 Proudest moment: I was supposed to travel for my birthday in June. Of course, due to the pandemic, it was canceled. I got a Nintendo Switch as a birthday gift to myself and since I was very new then, two of my closest friends invited me to their islands and gave me a birthday surprise! I met one over lunch and the other one before sunset. So guess what? My birthday trip still pushed through! I did not only travel once but twice! I felt so happy and giddy the entire time! Kilig na kilig ako because it felt so nice also to spend time with some friends also during quarantine. Tips and tricks: When you see the glowing spot, dig and get the money. Then plant 10,000 bells in the glowing hole and after a few days, you will get three 10,000-bell money bags. Chloe from Pilipinas Playing for two weeks Proudest moment: I caught my first shark. Tips and tricks: You can earn more bells by catching bugs and fish and selling them. That’s how I upgraded my house. Melaa from Austen Playing for three months Proudest moment: When I figured out that I can stage scenes with all items and villagers at Harvey’s Island. I would create scenarios that were impossible to do during lockdown. Hanging out at a café, going to a street market, staging a Grand Canyon vacation. Tips and tricks: I watch island tour YouTube videos to get design ideas and search on Pinterest for custom paths and clothes. Martha from Valyria Playing since April 2020 Proudest moments: When I finished my ABS-CBN newsroom and when I finished creating an outdoor bedroom with some of my favorite things: a huge bed, books, coffee, a painting area and a space where I could pull out tarot cards. Tips and tricks: It’s easy to get overwhelmed once you’re granted terraforming capabilities and you’ve seen what other islands look like. I say, fill your island with things that make you happy.
