Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp: Everything you need to know!

If you play Animal Crossing, you've probably always wished you could bring your pals with you on your iPhone or Android device. Well, I've got good news for you. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is just that — caring for your animal friends on the go! In this world, your fluffy friends are camping and it's your job to make sure they have everything they need while enjoying the great outdoors. Here's everything you need to know about Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

What's new in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

There's a new garden event happening right now and it's bursting with sunshine. Kapp'n needs help finding super rare ladybugs called Dappledots. Your job is to collect as many of them as possible by planting seasonal rare sunflowers in your garden that will attract them. Share your Dappledots with friends for rewards. Collect them to earn exclusive clothing and decorations from Kapp'n. Trade your harvested sunflowers to Lloid in exchange for crafting materials and essence. The event is only 10 days long, from July 5 - 15, so you'd better get going!

July 5, 2018: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp gets a big update with Friendship levels increased and lots of UI changes!

The folks working on our favorite animal camping kingdom are really paying attention to what we want. Nintendo has just pushed out another big update for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp that makes it possible for us to increase our friendship levels with campers to 25.

There are lots more quality-of-life user interface updates, too.

• Furniture can be sorted - Finally! We can figure out the best way to decorate our Campsite by sorting furniture by series, theme, and number owned.
• Clothing can be sorted - Hoping to put together the perfect outfit? You can now sort clothing by source, theme, or number owned.
• Animals can be sorted - Every animal now has a little icon showing its theme right next to its name so you can identify it without having to tap into its contact summary. Even better: You can sort them by their theme or friendship level.
• Conversations can be sped up - Trying to get through a round of tasks faster? You can now fast-forward through conversations and get to the good stuff faster. You can also skip those time-consuming animations when you level up a friendship.
• Rover's furniture can be sold off - Bored with the furniture you got from Rover's Garden Safari? You can finally sell furniture and clothing he pawned off on you in exchange for those rare butterflies.

I should point out that sorting is temporary. That is, when you close out the items or contacts lists and then reopen them, they'll go back to their original state. You'll have to resort every time. I think that's a good method, though. Don't you?

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp: Tips & Tricks

Fishing is considered a relaxing sport, but not if you're trying to win the gold trophy. Catch as many fish as you can during the five-day event. The bigger the fish, the better. Your score is tallied by how many inches of fish you catch in total. Fishing Tourney #3 runs from June 28 - July 3, so you'd better get your bait ready if you want to get that trophy!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has brought back the Gyroidite Scavenger Hunt for a second time. Collect Gyroidite nuggets throughout the campground and use them to craft adorable clothing to celebrate a wedding at the campgrounds.

There isn't much to this event. It's all about gathering materials (Gyroidites), which can be found in all campground locations and then using them to craft the clothing items listed in the Events section. Crafting special items will yield Leaf Ticket rewards, which is good since some of the wedding outfits can't be crafted using Gyroidite nuggets, but cost Leaf Tickets instead.

This limited time event lasts 10 days, ending June 29. Make sure you get all of the cute outfits so you can attend the wedding in style!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has a new set of animals that want to join the camping fun. Not only are there now three new animal friends, but there is also a brand new theme; Historical!

• Robin
• Egbert
• Lobo

Remember, all of these animals are of the Historical theme.

To celebrate the addition of these animals, Nintendo is running the Host with the Most event again, which means there are timed goals that reward Historical essence when you invite two new animals to your Campsite.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has added a new event and this one is different than any that we've seen so far. Collect Gyroidite nuggets throughout the campground and use them to craft adorable hats and clothing that match some of your favorite Animal Crossing pals.

There isn't much to this event. It's all about gathering materials, which can be found in all campground locations and then using them to craft the clothing items listed in the Events section. Crafting special items will yield Leaf Ticket rewards, which is good since KK Slider's guitar and Isabelle's hat can't be crafted using Gyroidite nuggets, but cost Leaf Tickets instead.

Nintendo's latest point update should have been called a full number update with all of the new features and changes made to the user interface. There are two big features, a few new gathering items, and a lot of little changes to the way we interact with the game that makes me, for one, very very happy.

• Tommy's Fortune Cookie Shop - The biggest new feature is Tommy's Fortune Cookie Shop, which rewards you with dozens of exclusive items that can only be found in one of these fresh-baked goodies. Here's how to get fortune cookies.
• Scrapbook Memories - Another big addition is that there are now fun memories between campers that you can view. You'll need to host certain animals at your campsite that have reached a minimum friendship level. When you do, you can visit the Scrapbook section under the More tab to see the memories unfold. Some memories can only be unlocked by having special exclusive items that are only found in rare fortune cookies. Here's how to unlock those memories.
• New bugs, fish, and perfect fruit - There are now four new fishes, two new bugs, and special "perfect fruit" found around your campground. Perfect fruit hangs from the same trees, but are special rare fruits that you can give to campers for special requests.
• New ways campers request items - Speaking of special requests, there's a new way that campers will ask for your help. Sometimes, they'll ask you to help them pick out a piece of furniture to give to another camper, or ask you to suggest a good fishing spot, or even ask you to pick an item from your inventory to give them. The last one provides the opportunity for you to earn snacks and even fortune cookies as rewards.
• Lots of new Push notifications - Nintendo has made notifications actually useful! You can enable or disable the ability to receive notifications for login bonuses, when a crafted item is finished, when Gulliver's ship returns, when new fortune cookies are available, when the Market Box refreshes, when enough friends have helped you to enter the quarry, when the quarry cycle changes, and when friends are available for sharing.
• UI changes - It's the little things that count, like the fact that when you gather an item, it'll show you how many of them you already have in your inventory, or how crafting items are sorted now, or how your Items section is listed first in your inventory, or how the Craft tab automatically opens to your Favorited furniture items so they're easier to find when you want to make more. These user interface updates have made me a happy girl.

There's even more to uncover as you play the game. For the next nine days, you'll receive special items for logging in, like rare, expensive character fortune cookies and Leaf Tickets. Welcome to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp version 1.4!

You can now head on over to Sunburst Island and talk to Gulliver to trade your extra furniture for very special snacks, which you can then give to campers hanging around your campground to increase their Friendship level.

When you trade furniture, Gulliver will gladly take it and head to the next trade island. After a few minutes, he'll return to Sunburst Island, where you can collect the goods he got in trade. Your payment comes in the form of tasty snacks, like doughnuts, candy bars, popcorn, lollipops, and other sweet treats.

Offer snacks to campers in the campgrounds to make them like you. You'll get one point increase in Friendship level for each snack you give to an animal.

This new feature comes at a great time when players are running out of things to craft. You can now use up all your piles of crafting materials to make spare chairs to exchange for something that will help your relationship with your animal friends!

March 10 is Mario day and Nintendo is celebrating its most popular game character with a special event in the Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp world. For the next 30 days, you'll be able to collect and craft dozens of iconic Super Mario items, like gold coins, brick and prize blocks, and much more. Collect mushrooms from visiting animals to craft your Mario outfit (including the nose and 'stache), Koopa Troopa shells, and other items to make your Campsite look like the Mushroom Kingdom. This event is very similar to previous events, like the Crystal Collection event, the New Years event, and the Winter Sports event, but collectable items roll out in three rounds of 10 days each. You should have plenty of time to get all of the items you want (with multiples of the cutest ones), but start now if you want to make sure you have all the furniture you need to craft your Campsite exactly the way you want!

You can build a Harmonious tent and follow it up with an Exotic Fountain! The five new animals added to the game are as follows:

• Margie

If you've been wishing for a different view around your Campground in ACPC, today is your lucky day. You can now change the foreground, middle ground, and deck of your Campground. Want a lake view? Get rid of those trees? Hoping for some color? Add a floral landscape. Holidays coming? Put up a string of lights. Some backgrounds are free, while others require either materials (like wood), Bells, or Leaf Tickets.

To change your Campground's landscape, go to your Campground and tap the grid icon. Then, select the background icon (it looks like two trees) to access the available changes.

Experiment with new looks and even get a preview of what your Campground will look like during different seasons. Get a different look for every time of the year!

Just on the heels of getting five new friends in our campground, we're back in the mix with a new winter-themed event. Starting February 15 at midnight ET, players can turn their Campground into a crystal palace with the Crystal Collection event. Collect Crystal Shards and craft sparkly furniture to make your Campsite shine. You can even turn your player character into a Snow Princess. It's got all the same rules as the Winter Sports event and the New Year's event, but in case you're new to the ACPC world, we've updated our event guide to help you out.

Your campground is getting more popular every day. Five new animals have heard about how fun you've made your Campsite and have come to check it out. These five new animal friends cover a variety of theme preferences, but they also have a few new items they want to see. The five new animals added to the game are as follows:

• Dotty - Natural
• Octavian - Hip
• Eugene - Cool
• Fuchsia - Cool
• Freya - Cool

To celebrate the addition of these animals, Nintendo is running the Host with the Most event again, which means there are stretch goals that reward Request Cards and Leaf Tickets when you invite one, two, and three new animals to your Campsite. The Host the Most event is only seven days long, ending February 10, so you'd better get out there and help some campers!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp just received another big update. This one brings with it a few new major features plus a plethora of minor changes.

• Animal Clothing - You can now share some of your clothing with your animal friends. Animals have to reach a certain level before you can change their outfits. Not all animals need a change of clothing and some items can't be used on certain animals. Changing an animal's outfit will sometimes increase their Friendship level.
• Two rugs are better than one - You can finally put down two rugs at your Campsite instead of just one at a time.
• New mini game - Head on over to OK Motors to play a slot machine style game and see what you win. Winners are rewarded with Caps, which can be used to exchange for in-game prices. Head over past the right of your camper when you visit OK Motors and tap the Brake Tapper to play a game. Each game costs 3 Friend Powder. Winnings will normally yield 5 Caps, but you could win big with up to 50 Caps. When you've earned some caps, talk to Carlo to exchange them for crafting materials, essence, and even exclusive OK Motors merchandise.
• New way to add friends IRL - You can add friends that you're standing next to by sending a tune. When your friend receives the little ditty and accepts your friend request, you're in like Flynn!
• Shovelstrike Quarry is easier to get in to - A minor update makes it possible for you to ask up to 10 friends at once with just a single tap. Just Ask for Help!
• New conversations - There are new conversations to be had with visiting animals. Let's hope they stop calling us a "fan" or "slacker."
• New requests - Animals will now ask for flowers as part of their requests. Looks like you'd better get back into gardening.
• Skip Requests - If you don't have the items an animal wants, you can now skip a request. You can't skip the last request, though.

What's new with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp?

There's a new garden event happening right now and it's Lolita Gothic at its most adorable. Little Lottie the Otter needs help catching bats (because her favorite band likes them).

Collect them to earn exclusive outfits and furniture from Lottie. Trade your harvested roses in to Lloid in exchange for important materials.

• Stitches
• Merengue
• Bob

On the exact closing day of Rover's Garden Safari event, a new reason to keep camping has arrived. Starting Jan. 21 at midnight ET, players were presented with the latest bit of fun — the Winter Sports event. In this go-around, players collect Snowflakes to craft adorable figure-skating and snowboarding outfits. Plus, you can add an ice rink and snowboard ramp to your Campground. It's pretty much exactly like the rules for the Holiday event and New Year's event, but in case you need a little help, we've updated our Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp event guide for you.

There's been an empty tab since the game launched. Crafting clothing was on the horizon, but not yet available... until now. Thanks to an overnight update, the clothing craft tab is now up and running. The best thing is that crafting an outfit is just as easy as crafting furniture. Right now, all of the clothing items require either paper or cotton (except glasses, which require steel), and don't really need that much material. Most of then call for 15 - 30 of one or the other. There are a few "high price ticket" items that require 60 cotton, but that's the most expensive it gets.

To get started making your perfect outfit, go to the Crafting tab, then select the T-shirt icon to see everything you can create and wear.

There's also a couple of timed goals relating to clothing crafting, but they're pretty easy to complete. Craft one item for five Leaf Tickets and craft three items for five more Leaf Tickets. In the Stretch Goals section, you'll note that crafting clothing has been added to the list, too. Craft one clothing item for 20 paper and craft five clothing items for five Leaf Tickets.

There's a new winter event sitting in your garden right now. Rover's Garden Safari event runs from January 11 - January 21. Your goal is to collect as many rare winter butterflies as possible by planting flowers in your garden that will attract them. Share your butterflies with friends for rewards. Collect a certain number of them to earn exclusive furniture from Rover. Trade your harvested dahlias in to Lloid in exchange for crafting materials. The event is only 10 days long, so you'd better start planting!

This time, there isn't any timed goals in the Host the Most event. You will, however, earn extra happiness points for your friendship levels between January 6 and 12. Be sure to welcome Sprinkle, Ava, Boots, and Static by leveling up your friendships with them and crafting the items they want to see in your Campsite.

As the current year draws to an end and the new year begins, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp welcomes the future with 10 new items plus two New-Year's themed outfits and a pair of sandals. Just like the holiday event, players collect Countdown Charms by completing requests from animals in the campground. You can craft the items using the Countdown Charms. The Haori, Kimono, and Kimono Sandals are rewards for completing timed goals within the event's timeframe, which is just 15 days long this time.

The New Year's Event runs December 25, 2017 at 12:00 AM ET through January 10, 2018 at 11:59 PM ET.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp players woke up (or stayed up late enough) to see a new set of animals that want to join the camping fun. Not only are there now seven (yes, seven!) new animal friends, but there is also a brand new theme; Rustic! A new theme brings with it new craftable items, like a cowhide rug and brick fireplace. There's even a covered wagon! Of course, a new theme also means new amenities. You can build a rustic tent and follow it up with a canvas hammock, and then a hot air balloon! The seven new animals added to the game are as follows:

• Marshal
• Mitzi
• Goose
• Drake
• June
• Avery
• Vesta

Remember, all of these animals are of the Rustic theme.

To celebrate the addition of these animals, Nintendo is running the Host with the Most event again, which means extra happiness points whenever you complete requests for any animal in the campground. Stretch goals this time go up to seven new animals hosted at your site. You can earn up to 30 Leaf Tickets for your effort. The Host the Most event is only seven days long, so you'd better get out there and help some campers!

Animal Crossing: Pocket camp has been updated with some new content, the biggest being that gardening has been added to the things you can do in your Campsite. It's off to the left of your camper. After talking to Isabelle, you'll be directed to get some help from Lloid where he will help you get started with your garden. Grow flowers and cross-pollinate them to produce rare flowers. Trade those flowers to Lloid in exchange for items you can place in your Campsite.

The update also added Screenshot mode so you can show off your Campsite layout, the rare fish you've caught, and other awesome things you can do.

There's also a new way to add friends. You can send a link instead of sharing your long, complicated code that doesn't even copy properly in text messages (thank goodness).

Most of the rest of the update covers minor user interface tweaks, like warning messages when you're about to craft something you already own or hints for how to obtain items.

The update is available now in the App Store.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is rolling out worldwide a day early. So far, it has officially launched in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan (as well as Australia, where it's been available for a month).

• Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on the App Store - Download now
• Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on Google Play - Download now

Nintendo announced today through the official Animal Crossing Twitter account that the game will launch worldwide on Wednesday, Nov. 22. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

Nintendo has officially announced the existence of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. It's coming to iOS and Android "in November," but we don't have a specific launch date at this time. It seems to be available right now in Australia. If you're so inclined, you can download and play the game before it's officially launched in your country, but you have to do a little bit of "cheating" to get it. NintendoLife has a detailed guide for downloading Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp right now, but it's a complicated process. I suggest waiting. It'll probably be in your country really soon.

What is Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp?

Similar to its console counterpart, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a time-based simulation game where players act as a caretaker for a group of adorable animals. In the mobile spinoff, you're in charge of a campsite instead of a village.

You play a campsite manager whose job it is to create the ideal "glamping" spot for your animal friends. As you perform tasks around the campground, like harvesting fruit and helping out visitors, you'll earn materials that you can take to the blacksmith to turn into cool furniture. The more decked out your campsite gets, the more animals will visit.

You'll also earn "leaf tickets" (and other items), which are in-game currency that can be used to speed up how long it takes to harvest items, finish tasks, craft items, and more.

How much does it cost?

That's an interesting question. It doesn't cost anything to download and install the game. It also doesn't cost anything to start playing the game. It is, however, the type of game that uses in-game currency, which you can use to speed up how often you can collect items, craft furniture, and more. So, for some, this free game might cause them to go bankrupt (my best friend already said she won't even download the game because she's afraid she'll spend her entire paycheck on it).

For the most part, you can casually play the entire game without feeling compelled to spend real money. There are times when you might want to skip the wait time and use items that help speed up growth processes and the like. Most items that speed things up cost Leaf Tickets, which aren't as fast to replenish as Bells. If you run out of Leaf Tickets, you might be hovering over that "Buy Now" button. Especially when it comes to getting character-themed fortune cookies within the time frame they're available. So far, I've spent less than $10 since it's launch in November 2017.

What devices can I play it on?

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is available on iOS and Android devices. As long as you sign in with your Nintendo Account, your game progress can be saved across devices.

• Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on the App Store - Download now
• Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on Google Play - Download now

How do I play?

ACPC is simple to play, but it's important to strategize your plan so you don't make mistakes early on that you wish you could go back and fix. We've got a comprehensive beginner's guide and a list of tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your game.
