Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) - How to Get Poki
Poki is a new currency introduced in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH)'s Happy Home Paradise DLC. Learn how to get Poki quickly by designing vacation homes and polishing furniture!

List of Contents

Best Ways to Earn Poki

Steps Directions
1 　Design Vacation Homes
2 　Remodel and Move Vacation Homes
3 　Design Facilities

1. Design Vacation Homes

ACNH - Design Vacation Homes for Poki

New Home 6,000 ~ 40,000 Poki

Designing vacation homes for villagers appears to be the main way to earn Poki in the Happy Home Paradise DLC. Take note of each villager's requests and design their dream getaway home!

2. Remodel and Move Vacation Homes

ACNH - Remodeling and moving vacation home

Remodeling 3,000 ~ 20,000 Poki

You can visit villagers and ask them about their home. This will allow you to either remodel or move them, and both options earn you Poki - even if you don't change anything!

You'll be forced to move the house if you go for that option, so Remodeling is the quickest way to get Poki. This might also be the only way to earn Poki once you are done with everything else!

3. Design Facilities

Poki Earned 25,000 Poki

Lottie's island is also home to facilities that you can design, ranging from schools, restaurants, and hospitals! It seems that designing these facilities will also reward you with Poki!
