The second ACNH error disabled the tournament is here! Another creepy new event creeps up Animal Crossing: New Horizons this Saturday, so here is how to participate.
If you’ve checked your message board next to In-Game Resident Services in the past few days, you’ll have seen a message about the next Stop bothering event on July 25. The event works similarly to CJ’s fishing tournament earlier this year. However, the Bug Off event will return every fourth Saturday for the next several months, rather than quarterly as Fish.
Flick is in charge of the event, where you will have the task of catching many errors for his collection. Participation is free for the first attempt, but each subsequent attempt will cost you 500 bellsSo maybe you are thinking of selling some of those turnips that you hold on to.
ACNH Bug Off – When can I participate?
July 25 is the second date in the Bug Off calendar, and the event will run between 9 am and 6 pm, in your local time zone. However, Flick will wait until 8pm if he wants to catch and sell more bugs he’s been storing. After Saturday, you can participate in the following dates:
- July 25
- August 22nd
- September 26
Please note that these dates and times are for Northern Hemisphere Players.
ACNH Bug Off – How do I get points?
As I said, the first attempt is free, but then you must pay 500 bells be part of. Flick will appear outside Resident services At 9 am. If you haven’t yet managed to upgrade your Resident Services beyond a tent, you can always travel to a friend’s island to join.
Flick will ask you to catch as many errors as you can in three minutes, and you will receive two bonus points if you catch three or more errors. At the end of the three minutes, you can return to Flick to trade your mistakes for bug-themed merch and you can receive Insect trophies depending on how many points you score.
If you play with friends, you will also get a multiplayer bonus, so invite some friends or travel. Depending on how many mistakes your group catches, you can earn up to 10 additional bonus points, so it’s worth working together to get all the rewards.
Remember that Flick will buy you mistakes for 1.5 times more than you would get in Nook’s Cranny.
ACNH Bug Off trophies, rewards and prizes
exist Bronze, silver and gold trophies to win once you have earned 100, 200 and 300 total points. While there are plenty of insect-themed reward decorations available too, to add to your home. These items tend to give your Happy Home Academy rating a good boost, making them worth picking up!
The list of rewards, which Flick distributes more or less randomly when he requests to exchange his points, is:
- Cockroach toy
- Toy centipede
- Termite mound
- Handmade insect cage
- Insect cage bag
- Aloha Bug Shirt
- Spider door plate
- Ladybug rug
- Ladybug umbrella
- Butterfly backpack
- Butterfly Wall
- Butterfly wand
There are a lot of really cute things there, so we hope you get what you want!
