I didn't think much was going to happen (since I didn't know it was coming until like this morning lol) so I'm not too disappointed. I kinda wish they staggered it out a bit over a few days since it literally takes 5 minutes. It's a distraction I guess!
Museum Stamp Rally event is even blander than the May Day Event

To be fair, we haven't reached a point in the game to know for sure that Sports Fair or Morning Aerobics are in the game (they were summer events, if I'm not mistaken). Fireworks is in July and New Years. Festivale is confirmed to return (at least, allegedly, since Pavé si confirmed to return) in February or early March.
I've liked events so far in NH. I think we had many groundbreaking events in GCN (as mentioned above), but we also had extremely bland ones: like Graduate's day, Spring Cleaning, Labor Day, Founder's Day, etc. They were, pretty much, filler events and holidays. In NL you basically spoke to Isabelle for an item and that was it. WW events were, imo, the absolute worst in the series. Not only did they remove major holidays (like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas) but included really lame ones (like Yay Day, La-di-day and Bright Lights day). It's also the game with the least number of events in the entire series.
At least you're doing stuff in NH unlike past entries. May Day (which was meant to be one day but is extended for a whole week) allows you to play a puzzle game, meet Rover (get a event-specific item from him) and get tickets to spend as bells. International Museum Day is not a big fuzz, but at least you get a reason to go to the museum, get stamps and get event-specific items from that! We've never had an event tied to the Museum, so it's really nice to have it.
Post automatically merged:
Also: keep in mind that most of these events and holidays were originally supposed to happen in 1 day. Considering Nintendo's new approach, they've extended for week(s). So keep in mind that when discussing these events.

Well, I guess these events are better than no events at all
i was a little disappointed too- are there more stamps are more rewards for the rest of the days? bc this event literally runs like almost 2 weeks i think, and if it's just this 5-min run through the museum i'm :\\
it's a good thing i wasn't particularly looking forward to this event bc i'd probably be a LOT more disappointed.

Wait so that's it? I don't know when I'm going to do this event as I am rerolling Redd these past two days and I just want to focus on finishing the art/statue section in the museum. Since the event goes until the end of the month guess that's good for me if its this short.

I didn't mind it. It was nice to have a look around the museum (the bug section is way nicer than I remembered, the little wooden bits over the water are lovely). The rewards were disappointing though.
I thought the event was cute! one of the aquariums I go to irl also does the stamp thing and this event reminded me of that ; u ; I guess Im just sentimental haha
however I will agree with some people that maybe a little trivia game or a scavenger hunt in the museum to go along with the stamps would have been fun but either way Im content with what we got

ITT: “I don’t understand why features we had to wait and unlock in previous games aren’t unlocked right away in this one.”
“I can’t believe this little thing in a game about treasuring the little things.”
Are the nostalgia goggles really that thick or have we all been indoors for too long, because I remember waiting to build the cafe. I remember waiting to finally get Katrina’s shop on main street. Heck, I even remember NOT waiting for Brewster’s cafe because it didn’t even exist before New Leaf.
I totally get critiquing the length of the event’s availability window and its rewards, even though I think both are appropriate. But so many of these criticisms are of the *spirit* of the event: Why was it so modest? Why didn't it give me something more shiny? Why did it only take me X minutes? In a game that has always emphasized the importance slowing down and appreciating life, these criticisms sound myopic.

i haven't tried this one yet, but i like that there are smaller events to counteract the bigger bunny day level stuff. the may day event was fun, i just wish it was more clear that these things are a one and done with week long accessability than a week long event.

OMG tell me about it! My 5 year old would be bored doing it. I wanted Blathers themed furniture or something and scavenger hunts, and more info about museums and dinosaurs and fish.... Guess Iv been playing Pocket Camp too long, thats all about themed furniture
What I don't understand with it is that it's stretched into two weeks... Why? You don't even need to move to another section, just collect all the stamps in one go, and talk to Blather's 3 times, after he gives you the plaques.
I quite enjoyed May Day, only because Rover was there. And if you know Rover was always your escort in New Leaf. So.

I thought it was a cute event. Short and sweet! I especially like that everyone's stamp spots might be different
I don't think the 2 week period is meant to be an indication of how much 'stuff' there is to do in the event, but rather, is there to ensure that everyone can have a chance to finish the Museum Rally. Many of us may be at home due to our current situation, but I can imagine that there'd still be people who don't check Animal Crossing every day or don't have much time to play a day. I still remember staying up way past my bed time desperately trying to catch all of Pave's feathers...
I love how we have lots of mini events in New Horizons. I'd honestly rather have more mini events, even if they are not as 'complete', over having less large events in exchange.

Have a lovely day!
Awee, I really enjoyed it! I like to imagine Blathers' budget couldn't allow for much, but he wanted to do something! plus if it were too big it may have been confusing for the younger audience. It was a fun excuse to run around the museum for a bit.
I think the event was pretty nice. It was really short though which is kind of a shame since they give you 2 weeks to complete it. I think maybe quizzes on animals or the different things in the museum probably could have been really cool. At least that way we can listen to Blathers more often.
May Day was alright, I think the maze was pretty fun, but wished we could have done it more than once.

I do think the event is kinda boring but I see it as a great way to show off the design of the museum. They developers put in so much work and detail into it and to be honest I don't really walk through the museum unless it's mostly filled.
Also the stamp thing is a very Japanese thing. It's been many years, but I remember seeing stamping stations at the museums I visited and at other very tourist locations. The stamps were giant like 5 inches in diameter and they were very pretty. I wish I had a stamping book similar to the autograph books at Disney.
