May Day Maze 2021

Gulliver was in town today, and I dug up the five pieces of his communicator and returned them to him. I’ll be getting a reward (or two?) in the mail tomorrow.

I walked by the newly-vacated house plot, and I took a last look at all the trash around the area. 😛

Rizzo's former house plot.

I cleaned up the area after taking that picture, although I plan on leaving the garbage can there.

At town hall, I told Tom Nook that I wanted to attend a ceremony. So we headed up to my new ramp to celebrate its opening. Yay!

The opening ceremony for my new ramp.

Apollo was sick with a cold, so I bought him some medicine. He rewarded me with a garbage can…and then told me I deserve it. Thanks a lot.

Apollo: I'm all better, thanks to you. So I'm hopin' you'll accept a small gift. It's a garbage can!

Once I finished making my rounds, I bought some Nook Miles Tickets and headed to the airport. It was time to find a new villager! I wanted to find a villager who was either a villager that I liked a lot, or a snooty that was halfway decent.

On the first two islands, I found Stu and Rasher. They made for easy decisions: heck no. The third island had Bangle the tiger, and that was a tougher decision. I decided that if she was a snooty, I’d take her. But I googled her and saw that she’s a peppy instead. Sorry Bangle, not today.

Del the gator was on the 4th island, and I was very tempted to take him. He was kinda my buddy in ACCF back in the day, and I have some good memories with him (including some Wi-Fi Moments that I remember fondly). But ultimately, I resisted the urge to take him and kept looking.

Paolo was on island #5. He’s not bad, but if I didn’t take Del, I sure wasn’t taking him either. Ditto for Simon the monkey and Sterling the eagle. I considered stopping at this point and trying again tomorrow (if nobody moved in randomly). But I ultimately decided I’d buy three more tickets and stop at ten if I didn’t find anybody.

However, the 8th try was the charm! I found Eloise the elephant. Not only do I like her, but she’s a snooty! Say hello to Forest’s next islander! 🙂

Stu, Rasher, Bangle, Del, Paolo, Simon, Sterline, and Eloise.

Now Bones is going to be sandwiched in between two elephants! He’ll have Tia on one side and Eloise on the other.

With that settled, I again took flight…but this time, I used my May Day ticket. I tried out the new maze, and it’s a bit more complicated than the one we got last year.

The May Day Maze for 2021.

I apparently took a wrong turn and couldn’t advance further. So I had to restart the maze. But on my 2nd attempt, I was able to complete the maze and chat with Rover.

Rover: Hey, you! Wow, what are the chances we'd meet like this again? Congrats on making it to the end, by the way.

I enjoyed the maze, and I hope they keep adding new mazes for years to come. It’s one of the most unique events in New Horizons.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I paid Tom Nook 10,000 bells to bury Rizzo to demolish that extra incline that I mentioned yesterday.

I’ll be back with another entry soon! Hope to see you then! Enjoy your May Day Maze!

  1. Hey Jeff! I saw that you are relocating your museum. Do you think you will do anything with the outside of museum like what I did since you said my entrance left a nice impression on you?

    1. No, mine won’t be as nice as yours. I just have the City Folk style path (but wider), and the gold roses leading up to the door.

  2. I have had Eloise in Gamecube and Wild World. I do not like her that much but she is one of the more tolerable snooty villagers.

  3. Congratulations on receiving Eloise!! She is one of my favorite elephants (and one of the few snobs I really like haha). I already had Stu on my island, and judge me, but I really love him hahaha. Do you intend to update your dream for the next few days, to cover the changes that have occurred in your city?

    1. Thank you! I might not update my dream immediately, at least until I’m happy with how the museum area and campsite are looking. But hopefully it won’t be too long.
