You don’t have to play Animal Crossing to enjoy this event and can join in on YouTube, but if you do play the game you can visit Jordan’s island with a Dodo Code provided on the day of the event. If you visit, please bring a watering can or two to help water the roses, and please, please, please, do not run in the flowers. (It tramples them and makes it very hard to keep track of the colors.)
