Today, June 27, is the start of the Bug Off event inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. Until 6pm local time,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers can compete in a special bug-catching tournament to win special prizes and rewards.
To participate in theAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsBug Off event, the first thing players need to do is talk to Flick in the plaza. Flick waives the entry fee for first-time competitors in the Bug Off event, but those that want to do it more will need to fork over 500 bells per round. The goal is to catch as many bugs as possible within three minutes, with points awarded for every bug caught. Catching more than three bugs will give players a two point bonus, allowing them to grow their score exponentially. Players don’t need to worry about inventory space during this event because every bug caught is automatically transferred to Flick, and players can then choose to sell them or keep some to donate toBlathers' museum.
