Animal Crossing: New Horizons/May Day

May Day
May Day is an event held from May 1st to May 7th. It is announced a few days beforehand on the island's bulletin board. To engage in the event, you will have to speak to Tom Nook at the Resident Services. He will explain that "May Day is a day when we express our gratitude to those who work hard." As a thank you for all the work hard that has gone into making your island great, he made a special May Day Tour. The tickets are left at the Airport. To go on this special tour, speak to Orville at the Airport and choose the I wanna fly! and the Use May Day Ticket options. All items you currently have in your inventory will be held at the counter; you will go to the tour empty-handed.

May Day Tour
You will arrive on an island with a hedge maze. You will have to navigate it using items you find on your way - tools, fruit, crafting materials. If you're stuck, talk to Wilbur and he will provide hints. If you ever get stuck or want to start over, call the ! Rescue Service. For 100 Nook Miles, the entire maze will be reset and your inventory will be cleared. If you reset after reaching the goal, you will keep the prize. Besides the prize, you may find 8 Bell Vouchers on the island. You will only take the prize and any collected Bell Vouchers back to your island, any bushes, flowers or trees in your inventory will disappear after you leave this special island. Both the prize and Bell Vouchers will be delivered by mail immediately. The special character making an appearance during this event is Rover. He is waiting at the maze's goal and will congratulate you and give you the prize when talked to. The prize is ''Rover's Briefcase'.

Navigation tips

 * You can get rid of trees in two ways - chop them down with an axe or use a shovel after eating a piece of fruit.
 * To remove the tree stump, use a shovel.
 * You can break stones if you hit them with a shovel after eating a piece of fruit.
 * You can jump across 1 tile wide holes.
 * Use the axe rather than eating fruit to get all the possible items.
