Animal Crossing: New Leaf Guide › Welcome to Town!

To Town Hall

Stepping off the train and exiting the station, you find yourself surrounded by friendly faces. Everyone in town has gathered to welcome their new mayor! (That’s you!)

One of the townsfolk hands you a map of town and asks you to follow her over to the town hall. It looks like you’ll be diving right into the action here!

Note

If you aren’t playing as the mayor, then Porter hands you the town map when you step off the train instead, and tells you to visit the town hall.

Feel free to speak to the townsfolk if you like, then hurry over to the town hall. Use your map to guide you. Simply tap the map icons until you discover the town hall, then mosey over there. (It’s the big building with the flag and clock out front.)

Enter the town hall; your companion will introduce herself. Her name is Isabelle, and she’ll be acting as your personal secretary. Cool!

Resident Registration

First thing’s first: you need to fill out some paperwork to register yourself as a town resident. But before you can fill out the form, you need an address. And for that, you need to find a place to live! Isabelle therefore puts the paperwork on hold and refers you to Nook’s Homes on Main Street. That’s your next stop!
