- Oh, we see her now.
- Oh my God.
- She's adorable. Stop it.
(laughs)
- Freshening your breath, are you?
- So...
- It's getting competitive.
- Hey everyone, it's Tom.
Today we are finding a date for Beatrice.
- She's gorgeous.
- Yeah.
- She's really cute.
- This game's cute.
- Three different Animal Crossing islands.
You are gonna be exploring each one
and choosing a date based on whoever's island
you vibe off the most.
- I'm so excited to do this.
- Yeah?
- Yes.
I'm 26 years old, a student doing a master's degree.
I love gaming, but I'm really bad at it.
With Animal Crossing, you can't really be bad or good at it.
So I think that I'm, like, okay.
I do like people who are intelligent
but also people who I can be, like, sarcastic with
and we can just joke around.
- Hi, I'm Caitlin.
I'm 28 and I live in Newcastle.
I love Animal Crossing
because it's a fun escape from everyday life.
I am looking for someone who makes me laugh.
Just be sweet.
- Hey, I'm Meg.
I am a 30 year old admin assistant from Brisbane
and I am a huge gaming nerd.
Something kind of casual to start.
They do kind of need to have a love of gaming.
We need to be able to do that together.
- Hey, I'm Tiarrah. I'm 26 years old.
I'm a factory worker who works night shifts.
In my free time, I usually just kind of like to sleep,
watch anime, read a lot of manga and play video games.
I would really have a preference
for someone who's just really open-minded and kind.
Gaming to me is a staple.
It's how I make friends.
It's also how I connect with people.
- Here we go.
- I can already see there are bi flags.
So bi central, exciting. (laughs)
Love that. Let's see what they got.
What are these bags?
- The bags are for you. They're a gift!
- They're gifts.
- Oh, there's like a little cafe.
- She's walked past the gifts.
She hasn't worn the costumes that are included.
- Should've left a sign, like,
"Please wear these," smiley face.
- It's just a bit creepy for a first date though, isn't it?
(laughs)
- Oh my God. The Shrek.
I love that. Okay, no, that's amazing.
Whoever's island this is, I'm loving the
"Get out of my swamp" place.
Yes. I love this. Worship the Shrek painting.
This is awesome.
- Look at the smile on her. She's loving it.
- I'm really glad that the Shrek swamp's gone off.
- I wanna explore the little museum.
Let's see how much they have accumulated.
So the museum is where you basically collect
all your different fossils, fish, bugs, and sea creatures?
The bugs and the fish only appear
at different times of the year.
The hard ones are the sharks and the eel.
Whoever owns this island is doing a very good job.
- Good job!
- Oh, the beach.
Cute! Someone should get married on the beach.
- Could be you, could be you.
(laughter)
- This island is really adorable
with its sort of cottagecore vibes and Shrek area.
(laughs)
I like to think that this person
who created this island is really funny,
and I think I would get along well with them, actually.
Like, we could be good friends if that happens.
- Friends?
- Man, you got friendzoned from your island? Shit.
- I mean, we probably be more than friends.
I think we could laugh about stuff together.
Looks like it.
- I feel pretty happy. Little bit of uncertainty.
She has left me hanging.
- We are going onto island number two.
It's called "Star moon flow star"
which I think is really cute.
- Thanks!
- Traffic lights with love hearts! Aw.
- I'll give you a traffic light.
I can send one to you.
- Ooh. A piano? Ooh.
I am a music person. I do love all kinds of music.
- Didn't see my music section.
- I love my musicals.
You'll just catch me singing musicals nonstop.
- We can go to musical day.
We can get dressed up and go to the theater.
- This is a really scary arch, but...
- No, go through the arch.
- Oh wow.
- It's a little fairy cave.
- I like that there's like this little hidden thing.
So maybe there's something hidden,
really cool about this person
that you can only get to know once you know them.
- That's pretty accurate.
I feel like I'm someone that presents one way
but I'm not always that way when I'm by myself.
- Clearly they have things set out in a very nice way
which I'm assuming their life
is probably pretty put together.
- She's wrong.
(laughter)
- This person has a lot of paintings, which is pretty good.
We've got van Gogh right here, as you can see.
This is like, they actually have real, like,
artwork in Animal Crossing, which is really cool.
It's not random art that they made up.
Not a bad collection of fish.
It's not a lot, but that's all right.
There's nothing in this tank. That's okay.
- I didn't think she'd be judging our museums.
I'm really surprised.
- It's really interesting to see the,
like, juxtaposition between kind of
the city-ness of the island
and then the little creepy area.
Like, I think that's really cool.
- That's kind of what I wanted.
You know, it's a video game.
You don't have to be magical and exciting.
- It'd be really interesting to find out who this person is.
I'm intrigued.
- I think that went okay, actually.
I was really not expecting it to go that well.
Yeah, there was no friend comments, so...
- Oh, it hurts!
It's getting competitive.
- Island number three. Let's check it out.
I can already see the island flag.
It kind of looks like, oh,
that really old toy that I played with when I was young.
What was it called? A gloomy bear?
I don't know if anyone knows what a gloomy bear is anymore.
I don't know if that thing's still around.
- She's kind of right,
it's Monokuma from Danganronpa.
- Yeah, there's a lot of like Asian stuff around.
I kind of like that.
Because, you know, like, it's my culture so I can relate.
Are these gold flowers?
- All right. Flashing your money. I see how it is.
(laughs)
- What is, is that a turtle?
- Yeah, they're playing soccer.
- Why are the turtles playing soccer?
- Why not? It's fun.
- Oh, that's cool. I like that.
So DIYs are like little recipes that you get.
Because when you collect resources,
you can make stuff with them.
So it looks like this person has free DIYs and recipes
you can just take to make. That's so nice.
- Oh my God, it's Godzilla. Ooh.
- That's my entrance.
- Either this person is Asian or they like Asian culture.
- I wanna go to your island.
- Is this the mermaid area? Oh my God.
It's so cute.
I made all the mermaid stuff too.
I'm really liking this island.
Thank you.
- Aw, that's nice.
- Thank you.
- I, first off,
I don't think I am the best person at making decisions.
Like, I'm usually the type of person to ask my friends,
like, "Oh, what do you guys think?"
But I have to make this decision on my own
and it's really hard.
The reason I've chosen this one is
because I think that me and that person
would get along really well.
I feel like we would have a lot of similar interests.
So the winning island is
number three!
(cheering)
- Hi!
Hello!
- I saw your outfit from a distance, like, oh my God,
I love everything that you have going on right now.
- Thank you! Can I give you a hug?
- Yes.
- I love your hair? It looks so cool.
I loved your island.
I'm assuming you really like Japanese culture.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yes? Okay, that's cool!
- That shirt is so cute.
- Oh thanks. I actually got in Japan, so...
- Oh my God, yes.
Well, that explains it.
- I definitely got some cool ideas from your island.
- When you were saying like, "Oh inspo!"
It's like, I'm glad she likes it.
- Yeah. Like, inspiration, so...
- Thank you.
- It was really fun meeting Tiarrah.
There could be potential.
I think if we can get along really well as friends
that's where I could see
if there's something to be built there.
- Thanks for watching.
