Back in June, a Nintendo Switch launch trailer was released for Blair Witch, a Blair Witch Project spin-off game developed by the folks at Bloober Team. We didn't notice it at the time, but the video actually contains a hidden code that can be used inside Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
As it happens, nobody spotted it at the time. The game's marketing team tells us that despite the video racking up more than 63,000 views at the time of writing, not one person has mentioned the code anywhere online. Until now, obviously.
In the spirit of keeping the original plan alive, which we imagine involved having fans discovering it for themselves and sharing their find with friends, we'll avoid telling you exactly where it's hidden. If you do find it, though, you'll be able to claim this Blair Witch hoodie which is inspired by real-life Blair Witch hoodies that were given out at Gamescom 2019.
If you need a quick hint, let's just say that it only flashes on screen for the briefest of seconds.
Good luck, and enjoy the hoodie if you discover the code!

Blair witch stuff was cool for a couple months in 1999.
Hey, be nice, some of us were alive back then! Lol
Fair play to them for this.
I loved the hype of the film when it first came out. To be fair I thought it wasnt a bad film, just people didnt like the handheld camera shaking, but nowadays shakey cam is everywhere.
Well, I've recently lost all interest in survival horror games since, in most cases, they have little gameplay to offer and no repayable qualities whatsoever... And yeah, I've asked my girlfriend does she remember Blair Witch at all and she has honestly struggled with her memory to recall anything about this franchise.
Cool T-shirt though.
Finding the code was easy enough.
Although I'm not sure I wouldn't noticed it if I didn't know it was in the trailer, lol.
And you can use codes in New Horizons? How does that work?
I only started the game two weeks ago today, so I probably haven't gotten far enough.
@DDFawfulGuy Once you unlock the clothing store there is a place in the back where you can put in codes.
You have to feel kind of sorry for them ... "Hey, how do we get people to care about our forgotten license survival horror switch game?" ... "Ooh I know, place a secret not secret Animal Crossing easter egg, they love their Animal crossing!!" ... "Oh what a great idea!!""
Three months later ... "No one noticed our secret not secret Animal Crossing code "
Gotta admit, I can't find it. Not a biggie. But it would be nice to have the sweater. So I'm hoping it gets posted somewhere
@UmbreonsPapa Found it! 0:17 secs into the video, it flashes when the lights go out. MO DH4GJ23DMW4R
@Bl4ckb100d Thanks a bunch! Of course, it's quite obvious now, lol
@Bl4ckb100d Still can‘t see it
@JHDK,
Brutal.
I enjoyed this game! It was pretty glitchy and the the visuals on the Switch were disappointing, but it had some really clever ideas and was good at manipulating you. Plus Bullet. Bullet is the goodest boy.
That's so fast I need to slow things down somehow...anyone with a still of that shot?? Either me or computer is too fast to slow it down to see it.
once paused use the comma and period keys to move single frames.
@Bl4ckb100d I couldn't get your code to work, the second D is a P I think. Thanks for telling us where to look I never would have seen that
@pbogits yeah it's a weird font, I knew I'd mess it up.
Perhaps more relevant, it doesn’t actually work in animal crossing
There you go:

If you have difficulty reading it, it's MO-DH4G-J23P-MW4R (not a zero).
Hah, that’s pretty dark for an AC game but alright. I love the lore of the Blair Witch. The first movie and the new(er) one are both worth watching in my opinion.
@Kalmaro not just alive, I was in COLLEGE
@ArtiomNLS I don't think so. As soon as i saw "found it", i knew i should stop reading if i didn't want to know.
However it would be nice if there was a spoiler cover like on reddit.
I'll never watch the trailer so I'm glad someone posted what it was.
Sorry if it ruined it for you.
@pbogits comma & period keys to move single frames? YouTube does that?! Wow i never knew that, that's amazing and super useful, no more pause spamming for me, thank you for sharing that! 😃
@Chibi_Manny
I only found this a little while ago myself, super useful.
@Bl4ckb100d it's a bit stupid that they made it SO fast and then not even in a clear font, no wonder nobody was talking about it before now 😂 I wouldn't have seen it at all of you hadnt given us the timestamp.
