ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

Done in collaboration with Julia Schoos, Xinrui Shi, and Qingyuan Yang


THE ROLE

As Interaction Designer, I was in charge of developing the unique interaction points for the overall experience and creating visual mock-ups.

THE CLIENT

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a highly anticipated Nintendo Switch title, but after it was finally released in March 2020, it didn’t take long for Animal Crossing fans to abandon the game as a result of burnout.

THE ASK

Design an experiential activation that will address burnout amongst current Animal Crossing: New Horizons players.

THE SOLUTION

Play On!, a mobile app that lets you experience Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the go and interact with your villagers in a new way.







Coded interviews with Animal Crossing: New Horizons players helped inform our two personas:
Social Butterflies and The Creatives.
