IconAnimal Crossing: New Horizons Dodo Code Guide

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the Dodo Code is a temporary online access code that allows other players to visit your island. It is one of the most important features for multiplayer interaction, item trading, and island visits.

The Dodo Code system is managed through Dodo Airlines, operated by the two dodo NPCs, Orville and Wilbur.

What Is a Dodo Code?

A Dodo Code is a random 5-character code generated when you open your island gate at Dodo Airlines. By sharing this code, friends or other players can fly directly to your island via online play.

The code is only valid while the airport gate remains open. Once the gate is closed, the Dodo Code automatically expires.

 

How to Get a Dodo Code

To generate a Dodo Code:

  1. Visit Dodo Airlines on your island

  2. Talk to Orville at the counter

  3. Choose to open your gate for visitors

  4. Select online play

  5. Receive a 5-character Dodo Code to share

This method allows multiple visitors to arrive using the same code.

 

Dodo Airlines Features

Dodo Airlines operates around the clock and provides:

  • Online island travel

  • Visitor management via Dodo Code

  • Mystery Island Tours

  • In-game mail service (200 Bells per letter, online only)

Players can also enjoy the exclusive Dodo Airlines theme music while inside the airport.

Mystery Island Travel

By using a Nook Miles Ticket (2,000 Nook Miles), players can take a Mystery Island Tour. These islands may offer:

  • Different fruit trees

  • Rare bugs and fish

  • Unique materials and items unavailable on the home island

Mystery Tours are an important way to gather resources and expand your collection.

 

Why Dodo Code Matters

The Dodo Code remains the core multiplayer access system in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Whether you are visiting friends, hosting guests, or trading items, it provides a simple and secure way to connect with other players online.
