New Horizons Island a Look

Design Your Own Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Part of one of the most popular franchises in video game history, Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers players the ability to design their own customized island where they can enjoy a variety of activities while befriending the adorable villagers. Some fans, however, go above and beyond to utilize Animal Crossing’s creation tools to design entire themed islands, such as an island that plays as a murder mystery game.

Released on Nintendo Switch in March 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons rose to massive popularity as many people were forced to stay at home during Covid-19 lock-downs and thus turned to lighthearted casual video games for a reprieve. Three years later, Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ incredible customization and design options continue to engage its massive player base, with some fans creating truly unique experiences within the game.

Not only did they design the ominous esthetics of the island, but they actually made the mysteries solvable. Anyone who visits the island can find and decipher the clues that the creator left in various places across this mysterious island.

From missing posters to crime scenes and a curious surplus of ducks, there are plenty of clues to find and crimes to solve on this murder mystery island.
