Happy Friday, Community! Sharon and Julia from Atlassian’s Social Media Care team here to share more about one of our favorite pastimes: Animal Crossing 🍃
We’re also pointing out a few on-brand design codes made internally that a few of our Atlassian islanders are modeling here if you'd like to get your villagers collaborating together 👇🏼
As if by magic, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released the same month our offices around the globe closed their doors for employee safety. As we were fortunate to move to remote work, more than 130 of us have been swapping DIY recipes, watching meteor showers, watering plants, and coordinating epic turnip sell-offs—all from the comfort of our homes outside of work. Being able to seek community by connecting on our islands in a difficult time on many levels is something we’ve been incredibly grateful for 🛋
We love what Jimmy shared last week on showing off your Atlassian swag and are following suit by passing on some Atlassian-approved creativity that has come from our teammates! For those of you on ANCH, feel free to download your favorite piece or ALL of them at your local Able Sisters 🛍

And those of you who are familiar with our Atlassian swag store designs are in for a treat:
Do we have any ANCH fans out there, or do you have kids that play? ✋🏼 Any ANCH-specific channels among your friends, or highlights/local favorites you've created to connect locally? Have you tried diving/swimming or building a snowman yet?
Let us know & in the comments or tweet us at @AskAtlassian. We'd love to see a picture of you or your team showing off your favorite swag! 🌟 🚀
See you online 👋🏼
Your social care pals at @AskAtlassian
Gimme all the bomb pops!! Yes, those are definitely at a premium 😉
This is the coolest! Can't wait to see how others style our swag 😎
Allllll the cat recipes will be waiting for you 📬 🐱
@Sharon Tan This is amazing! I absolutely need this, I'll be logging in later to collect all of these.
To answer your questions, I absolutely play (those I'm currently working through Paper Mario). My son is a little too young to stay interested for very long. I have not had the opportunity to build a snowman yet, but I'm looking forward to it when it's winter here.
I don't have any friends or co-workers that play but I will definitely share pictures once I have them!
OMG! How are you liking Paper Mario? I've had my eyes on it but have yet to purchase haha. I've only seen the snowmen in action but have gone diving for a pearl or two. Can't wait to see your pics!
Paper Mario is a lot of fun! I've actually been streaming all of my game play on Twitch as I have a couple of friends that can't invest in the game right now so they are joining me in my play through.
As promised, here are pictures:
Thanks again for the amazing creativity!
My child has used up all the design slots on our island so I had to fight her to get one piece of Atlassian swag. ("It's my game and my Switch" only goes so far when there is fashion design involved.) But I love my hat!
.... I haven't touched my switch in probably a month.... brb I need swag now.
@Heth Siemer I can relate 😬 I've been on and off but finding ways to stay updated 😀
Amazing. Thanks for sharing @Sharon Tan going to boot AC up this evening and turn it into Atlassian Crossing!
Love it!!!
My copy of ACNH is arriving Monday... I cannot wait to install the Atlassian collection!!! BOOM!
🌟😍💙🤘
You're beginning your island on Monday??? Godspeed, @Andy - PTC Redundant 🚀🌟🍃
It arrived earlier than expected yesterday!!! Wooooooohhhh!!!!! 🤩🌟🥇👏👏👏👏
Okay, so who's hosting Atlassian Summit AC Edition on their Island? Mine's still under construction.
OH dang. I am REALLY into this idea 👀
Team Tour AC meetup Anyone?
One Switch, One Island!! 🤯😳😭
What The ever living Fudge!!!???
Played a bit last night but didn’t save.... woke up this morning to find a completely different start-up mode with island sorted and pods of tasks completed.
Discovered I was on my wife’s island. (She was on it till 2am, chortle!!!)
After some googling, discovered that. Nintendo are either assholes, extremely business savvy or both! Yeah, it’s both 🤑🕹🕹💰
Must be great for families who afford two consoles but we are not that. So, looks like my wife gets to enjoy all the glory of ACNH whilst I just plod around on the secondary experience.
(She is now under a lot of pressure to unlock the Able Sisters ASAP!!)
Ah, darn!! I did hear about the one per device rule, boo! Or maybe this could be a joint effort, twice the efficiency? :-D
Well, we haven't truly worked out yet how I can contribute... mainly because I haven't had the device in hand. But all the blogs point towards achieving MORE by collaborating with the islanders!
Hey
I would love to get the swags from your store with awesome designs
That's so cute!
How about the pijamas as a swag ? :)
How did I not know about this until now?! I'm so mad at myself..
I got the game a week after its release and am now (four years later) on my third island. I'm almost done completing all the Nook Mile reward goal-things but that certainly doesn't mean I'm done with the game!
I have to go get these awesome designs! Might post a picture once I've put them to use ;-)
If anyone is still playing the game and want to connect, let me know. I have so many extra DIY's and stuff. But please consider hosting a meet-up somewhere!
Oh, am I the only one who thinks Redd is kind of creepy?
