If you're particularly proud of your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island then you might want the opportunity to show it off – and we're about to give you that chance.
Tomorrow (Tuesday 28th April) we'll be running a livestream on our YouTube channel where the one and only Alex Olney will be visiting people's islands for a mooch around. During his time on your island, Alex promises to behave himself, and may even leave you with a lasting memento – like signing the notice board, perhaps?
The stream will being at 3pm UK time (4pm CEST, 10am EDT, 7am PDT, 8pm AEST) and will last around two to three hours. To submit your island for Alex's expert nosing around, you'll have to use the chat window on here or YouTube and give us a Dodo Code when Alex asks for it. Each island we choose will be selected at random.
Naturally we can't promise we'll be able to visit every island in that time, but we'll do our level best to make sure we show off as many of your lovely islands as possible.
Who knows – you could be hosting Alex very soon!

Cool idea! I will definitely participate in this
Oh no, my island is nowhere near ready for the public
I still don't have ACNH yet... 😓
Alex says he’s there for a mooch around but we all know he’s just wanting to see who’s got the best turnip prices. And here you thought you were being sneaky 😉
Ohh...!
I better start cleaning up my island...
Ummmm yes!!!! ❤️❤️ So down for this. Is my island some sort of amazing terraforming beast? Not quite but I’m new to the game so pretty proud so far!
i’m up for it - it’s not finished and there’s much better but will be cool to host alex :0)
I wouldn't mind throwing mine up for a visit but it's not really that good yet. I have a living district and a shopping district and a small campsite area but that's about it for now, still need to figure out what to do with the majority of my island.
You don’t want to see mine! I haven’t played for two weeks now 🙈
I have a little place with two benches and a fountain and that's it. The rest of my island is full of random things to msintain my 5 star rating purely based on numbers until I figure out what to do with all that space.
I'd love to participate. But I need to do some massive-scale deforestation before that...
Entry fee 4NMT, or 400,000 bells. I'll see you tomorrow Alex.
Dangit! I'm not particularly proud of my island yet (I'm renovating)
Hopefully the live stream will become a success so it might happen again
@Jacob1092 made me snort laugh 😂
I’m down for this! Such a great idea!
My island is a pristine and ecologically protected gem in the southwest sea of Nook. You must be vetted and quarentined before we can discuss travel arrangements. Sorry Alex
I love my simple island, but obviously it's not a virtuous reproduction of Johto or Onett or something like that, so I suppose it could be pretty boring to visit.
Well, I guess I could use some help...
I'd absolutely love to participate, but I don't have the game yet. I'm getting it next month, but even then it'll be a while until it's presentable. I have very big plans for my island though!
Sounds fun I'll be adding mine.
Awesome! My island is such a mess tho. 😅
@Incarna I have Pietro 🤡
I'd probably miss the stream. I never manage to catch these things live...
Bad timing, I'm in the middle of moving the last few buildings. Perhaps if you run a second event in the future...
I'd be up for this!
My villagers have all taken up terribly gross catchphrases, unsuitable for a livestream. I should talk to Isabelle some day...
Well... I haven't been able to play online for months. My NAT-type is all messed up. As it turns out, I had to change my internet provider. May 20th the change will go through and I will finally be able to use my Nintendo Switch online membership. Looking forward to it. Hopefully there will be more chances to have people visit my island.
This is a nice idea.
sorry, my island isn't ready yet
but it is getting close
just need a week or 2
VISIT DODO PALM ISLAND PLEASE ALEX PLEASE PRETTY DODO PLEASE
If you want to show how easy it is to get 5 stars. Just visit my island. It's not pretty but it's 5 stars. You don't need crazy good design styles to get 5 stars.
Well I'd definitely like to watch to get ideas for my island. This has been the first Animal Crossing game I've really been trying to put effort into (I played some New Leaf, but didn't really get into it), but when I see all the cool things other people have on their island mine seems pretty plain haha.
Good idea, will be watching closely.
Such a great game, first Animal Crossing I've played, really enjoying it.
Got myself a swimming pool and a T-Rex room, a few expansions... so much still to do!
Well played Nintendo, nailed it!
If you want to see a 5-star island that runs on clean energy and has an orchard and farmers market and a rock wall climbing area, an extended shop area, an outdoor cafe, and nature walk with a restricted alien area then yeah you’d want to come to mine.
“It puts the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again.“
My island is what nightmares are made of.
Unsettling and familiar for all of those who are familiar with Clarice’s journey in SotL.
Please visit!
That sounds nice. I’ll try to participate. My island is not like super fancy though.
Guess I'd better tidy up my resort area already. It's been "under construction" for a while...
Is this a campaign to Out the clunky nature of visiting? Because this sound like a disaster XD
Yes! Come to my island! I've got a town area, a foresty campsite, a rose garden, a junkyard and more waterfalls than any island needs or wants.
@Real_Obsi ya seriously. So many people will probably try and use the dodo code and visit at the same time. Just madness with the cutscenes
@Grim And I for one CANNOT WAIT.
@Grim I wonder how he going to have a peaceful walk around where every few sec there will be a pause that someone is coming, lol!
@Anti-Matter oof. Do you not have it because of it not being shipped to you yet?
@theriku260
The price of ACNH in my country Indonesia was insane. 😫
It almost twice amount of MSRP.
Added with Covid-19 pandemic the USD exchange rate to Rupiah has weaken.
I will buy the game eventually when the price is back to normal.
I've had multiple people tell me that I should share my island, and that they really love the layout and the unique-ish locales (Rock Garden, Bamboo Garden, Garage, etc). I have been reluctant to. Maybe I'll have to consider throwing my gates open.
No, you don't. Cue social anxiety induced panic attack.
I'd love to, but I doubt my island is really good enough to show off.
But good sir, I am not a time traveler and I did not get this game at launch so my island is far from finished
How do I submit my island at the time tho?
Lovin’ My island. Be interesting to see what others think. Hit me up pls! Hitmonlee, Saffron. Will await reply and be ready with dodo code
An excellent idea, well implemented and some truly stunning islands, unfortunately ruined yet again online by the moronic minority.
As requested I provided a dodo code, plainly for Alex, so he had the opportunity to come. Unfortunately some people have nothing better to do online than spoil things for others. It was very apparent that the dodo code was provided for Alex only, however that didn’t stop countless others clearly ignoring the purpose and coming to my island in their droves to such an extent that my internet crashed. So, as I had a mention in the chat from I presume a mod/nl staff telling me mine would be the next island visited, I assumed that would be the case. However and possibly the most galling thing for me was that after my net crashed and everyone was kicked, obviously the dodo code was reset and I literally saw Alex fail to connect to what I assume was my island with my own eyes on the livestream.
I was gutted. Also to all you visitors who should know better. If none of the residents have shook the money trees then there’s obviously a reason this is the case. It’s certainly not an open invitation for strangers to come along and help themselves to each and every one! Some people are just plain jealous on top of having zero decency!!
