Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to be one of the biggest games to release this year, and its roaring financial success also earned it as one of Nintendo's best-selling games with over 22 million copies sold in under a year. Of course, with a game that has captured the attention of the world, Animal Crossing: New Horizons quickly drew in people from all sorts of backgrounds including celebrities and, surprisingly enough, even politicians.
With the 2020 US presidential elections being decided in just a couple weeks, Democratic candidate Joe Biden has taken an unprecedented approach in campaigning to be the next president of the United States by creating a custom-built island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Players can easily visit the Biden HQ via the Dream Code DA-7286-5710-7478, and for those interested to know what to expect, here is what players will see in Joe Biden's island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The Biden HQ
Upon arriving at the island dubbed The Biden HQ, players will be greeted by tons of signs donning the "Team Joe" logo. Players will also encounter Joe Biden's Animal Crossing avatar who is sporting a black suit and sunglasses, and upon speaking to him, he will utter the catchphrase "No malarkey." The island is well-designed with filled with all sorts of decorations, viewing platforms, and small parks, which goes to show that whoever created this island is well-versed in terraforming.
As expected, players will see several campaign signs sporting different designs, such as one that features a rainbow flag, which is a nod to Biden's support of the LGBT community. Unfortunately, a good chunk of the island has been sealed off for unknown reasons, but it is worth noting that the restricted part of the island is also well-designed and is the location of some in-game buildings such as the museum.
Polling Center
One huge attraction in The Biden HQ is a polling center that contains several polling booths. This area also features a huge promotional sign for the IWillVote.com website and provides a voting plan checklist that provides players with clear instructions to make a plan for the upcoming elections. Throughout the island, players will also see a sign that prompts players to "Text AC to 30330." Moreover, the museum, which is placed in a restricted portion of the island, is made to look like the White House complete with its popular Rose Garden. The building is truly a sight to behold, though it's a shame that players won't be able to come closer to inspect it properly, but they can definitely have a selfie from afar, just like the real White House.
The Field Office
The main residence on the island has been converted into a campaign field office. The main room is a little bit messy, with papers scattered all over the floor and desks filled with campaign pamphlets, promotional materials porting the "Biden-Harris" logo, computers, and even typewriters. The next room resembles a merch store where players can see tons of jackets and other clothing promoting Biden.
The upstairs part of the Field Office is split into two with one section dedicated to Joe Biden while the other for Kamala Harris. The Biden portion of the office sports a picture of the presidential candidate during his younger days, a sneaker collection, and a vinyl record player. On the other hand, the basement is filled with a train collection with a clear sign indicating that this room is "Joe's Train Town." Outside the field office, players will see the usual stuff they have in the game such as the houses of villagers, Nook's Cranny, the Resident Services Building, and many more.
