Animal Crossing Joe Biden is an interesting election campaign: virtual election merch for your Animal Crossing character. Here’s how to get involved in the campaign inside Animal Crossing.
There are a few things to participate in Animal Crossing to show your support. You can visit Joe Biden’s official island by using the Dream Suite feature. Simply go to any bed and climb in. Go through the dialogue to meet Luna. You’ll be asked to punch in a Dream Address. To get to Biden HQ, type in DA-7286-5710-7478.
The island is lavishly decorated, done in the style of a suburban American town. Of course, every house has a campaign sign posted. There’s a lot of details, and it looks like it’s perpetually garbage day. There’s even campaign flyers and litter strewn about, giving the island a charming, lived-in feeling.
There’s a massive polling place on the south end of the town. You can run into Biden himself, who will say “No malarkey!” when spoken to. The polling place advertises IWillVote, a DNC run voting advocacy site.
The town’s rightmost side is inaccessible, though it has a pattern that says “Joe” when viewed from the map. It makes clever use of smaller items arrange to create a forced perspective, making the town seem livelier. Whoever designed this put a lot of work into it, and it shows in the details.
The island’s Custom Designs Portal contains various designs for campaign themed clothing.
