For many, the first thing they aim for in an Animal Crossing game is to make the town better. Fulfilling animal requests, paying for some fancy amenities, and sprucing up a pricey home are part of the grind - a delightful grind, admittedly. The game pushes you towards having a benevolent spirit, too, just from being so darn cute.
Of course, as we've seen in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and even Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, in this age of social media people like to share their experiments, and it seems some like to try and do the same in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
Two trends have been picked up by Kotaku in the weirdness stakes, with various examples of 'lamp cults' and 'prisons'. In the former, it seems the animals get oddly transfixed by lamps, so some are setting up their camps to look like peculiar scenes from a dystopian movie.

Then it gets a tad more sinister with prisons, in which people trap the animals within fences to imprison them.
The usual shenanigans, then.
Let us know of the weirdest things you've seen in other people's camps, or if you're experimenting with your own in quirky was.
Thanks to all that sent this in.

A prison, hehehe....
The yard needs some exercise equipment, a toilet and maybe a Rita Hayworth poster for the prison.
This is actually pretty great XD
I saw one with just Nook stuck in a body sized jail. Seemed appropriate for all those theft level prices on his services over the years.
Someone set up a mysterious hydroponics rig in their camper

I played the game for 2 hours when I first downloaded it. Stopped when it felt like I had done everything there was to do. Went back to it yesterday for 30 minutes and confirmed I was right. I'm sure there's more to it, new people to meet, but I really can't get into it.
Seen a few have some sort of therapy sessions, with couches and chairs in a cirlce, and they are all just sitting there ina circle.
That post actually gave me an idea. I’m going to make prison camp. Thanks 👍
I have played a bit, but I am not getting drawn in like I did with New Leaf. I just don't like gaming on a phone. Controlling everything with a touch screen is annoying.
LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!
Yeah I met one camp several days ago with a personal prison. You have only one tiny chair in this fenced space, and while one animal is sitting in this prison, a bunch of other animals are just clapping their hands and getting all happy and dreamy outside.
Super creepy yo lol.
I wonder what Nintendo thinks of it lolol
I saw one where someone had put teddy bears on a heart shaped rug. Wish I had taken a picture of it now to share.
For a minute I thought these were gonna be hacks. xD
@tanookisuit I saw someone do that on Reddit and decided to do it too.

I hate Dystopian movies.
I suppose we can't have the temple basements in this version of the game.
I've just made a little jail. They also like to stand in front of port-a-potties, so I'm currently crafting a few. I'm gonna have five of them, side-by-side. I'll post pics if I can get five animals waiting to take a leak. LOL
People are weird .im surprised no dicks have popped up yet.
Here we go!
I might be the weird one here, but I find very disturbing what some people do in video games sometimes. From a psychology point of view, it warns of some potentially hidden issues... or it might just be people fooling around as a way of escaping everday’s dull routine.
Either way, it’s disturbing.
For me, the game is entertaining enough to keep me going back for a few minutes each day, though there’s no much to do in it.
Yeah, animals in Pocket Camp are almost always using an activatable item in the camp, if you remove all activatable items except the ones you want them to use, they will have no choice to use those specific ones.
They don't even need a path to the item, when you enter your camp they can be using a non accessible item like a chair inside a cage.
Although when I saw people with their camps arranged like this I thought they were just trying to make their animals easily accessible instead of being randomly all over their camp.
This was always my favorite. Oh, internet...
@SwitchVogel
Well, that could go into two very different directions..! xD
Haha and of all people you link Swery's Twitter account. I hope he is working more on No More Heroes 3 than playing Dobutsu no Mori.
