New Visitors

Jack

Jack was first teased on the fall update announcement, and he is now visiting in Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the night of Halloween!

You can receive an exclusive Spooky furniture and its recipe from Jack if you give him treats! Be careful. He'll pull a prank if you don't give him any candy, so be prepared!

ACNH Farming Has Been Confirmed!

The long expected gardening and farming update is finally moving in, although at this point you are only able to grow Pumpkins it seems. The better you take care of them and water them, the more Pumpkins you get, so make sure to water them every day!

They seem to be available in 3 colors; a pale yellow, orange, dark orange and green!

Pumpkin Farming Guide

Buy Pumpkin Seeds or Plants for 280 Bells

To grow Pumpkins, you need to buy Pumpkin Starts from either Nook's Cranny or Leif's shop. Leif will sell them all year round, and Nook's Cranny will sell them during October only.
