PERHAPS THE MOST POPULAR WAY OF VILLAGER HUNTING IN ANIMAL CROSSING NEW HORIZONS IS THE MYSTERY TOURS. BY TWO THOUSAND NOOK MILES, A CURRENCY OBTAINED FROM PERFORMING VARIOUS ACTIVITIES SUCH AS PLANTING FLOWERS OR HELPING VARIOUS VISITORS, THE PLAYER CAN REDEEM NOOK MILES TICKET. THE TICKET CAN BE THEN USED AT THE AIRPORT, TO TRAVEL TO MYSTERY TOURS. MYSTERY TOURS TAKE THE PLAYER TO MYSTERY ISLANDS, WITH FOR EXAMPLE MORE BUGS TO CATCH. THE IMPORTANT THING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF VILLAGER HUNTING IS THAT THE MYSTERY ISLAND CONTAINS ANIMAL IF THERE IS A SPACE OPEN ON THE PLAYER ISLAND, WHICH CAN BE INVITED TO LIVE ON THE ISLAND. WHICH VILLAGER APPEARS IN THE MYSTERY ISLAND IS, HOWEVER, LUCK-BASED. THE GAME CHOOSES ONE SPECIES OF THE 35 AVAILABLE AND THEN CHOOSES ONE FROM THAT SPECIES. THE NUMBER OF VILLAGERS IN DIFFERENT SPECIES ALSO RANGE AS THERE ARE, FOR INSTANCE, THREE OCTOPUSES, WHILE THERE ARE 23 CATS. NEVERTHELESS, GETTING YOUR FAVORITE(S) FROM MYSTERY ISLANDS IS LUCK BASED AS IT CAN TAKE ANYTHING FROM ONE TO A TECHNICALLY INFINITE AMOUNT OF TICKETS.
