Animal 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:
-
Visit Dodo Airlines on your island
-
Talk to Orville at the counter
-
Choose to open your gate for visitors

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