Everyone wants Raymond, so when Animal Crossing duo Crunchy Island happened to get the infamous gray cat to move into their island, they thought to themselves, what would Nathan Fielder do.

The duo that has spent over 400 hours constructing a maze in Animal Crossing: New Horizons cites comedy show Nathan For You as an inspiration for the ploy.

Mazes, it should be said, aren’t a new concept within the Animal Crossing community — but in Crunchy Island’s experience, many of these player-made minigames felt too easy.

Soon, Crunchy Island was paying a small crew Nook Miles to build dozens of panels for the initial maze.

Since then, Crunchy Island has held a number of new races for other popular villagers, like Audie.

The whole thing has become has become a spectacle for livestreamers, who are calling the maze “the most exciting thing in Animal Crossing right now.” If nothing else, Crunchy Island mazes might be the closest thing the community has to an esport.

The event has grown to such a scale that nowadays, Crunchy Island can rely on a community of viewers who help them out with getting resources for the next maze.

On Tuesday afternoon, the duo are premiering a new version of the maze, along with a new race for Raymond, where Animal Crossing content creators will compete to take the feline home.

Crunchy Island will soon debut a Dream Suite version of the maze, so that anybody with a Nintendo Online account can try it out.
