The centerpiece ofAnimalCrossing: New Horizons' May Day event is a maze that is located on a special island. Fans that complete thisMay Day maze inACNHare rewarded with a unique item called Rover’s Briefcase, and some fans may be curious about exactly what to do with it. It is with these players in mind that this guide is being written, and indeed it will answer the question of what Rover’s Briefcase inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis for.

To put things simply,Animal Crossing: New Horizons’Rover’s Briefcase is nothing more than a decorative item to be placed like any standard piece of furniture. This means that the sole purpose of Rover’s Briefcase is to spruce up a player’s home or island, and fans will need to decide on the best place to display the May Day event reward for themselves.

To note, Rover’s Briefcase inACNHcannot be purchased from the catalog on the Nook Stop terminal, which means that players cannot easily obtain theMay Day rewardagain if they sell it after the event’s conclusion. As such, fans that think that they may want to use Rover’s Briefcase within the next year are advised to tuck it away in storage, or they may find themselves waiting for the next May Day to come so that they can earn another one.

While some fans may be a bit disappointed to learn thatACNH’s Rover’s Briefcase cannot be opened or used for some greater purpose, its connection toRovermeans that many players will still be happy to have it. Indeed, this blue cat has a long history with theAnimal Crossingfranchise, and having a souvenir by which to remember his first appearance inNew Horizonsis certainly something special.

When compared to last month’sBunny Day event, the May Day festivities may feel a bit slight. However, some fans will enjoy briefly engaging with this simple, non-invasive piece of new content, earning Rover’s Briefcase, and being done with the event in full. Then they can turn their eyes to collecting the new bugs and fish that have appeared inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsthis month and begin preparing themselves for the upcoming International Museum Day event.
