This guide explains how to obtain and utilize snacks in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp to maximize friendship levels with animals. Let's dive into the details of acquiring and strategically using these valuable items.
Obtaining Snacks: A Comprehensive Guide
Gulliver's Ship: Your Primary Source
Gulliver's Ship offers the most reliable method for obtaining snacks. Sending him to special "gold islands" (identified by Villager Maps) yields significant rewards. Completing a special island grants 20 Gold Treats as a bonus. If you've already collected all Villager Maps, sending Gulliver to any island on the map will provide various snacks. Isle of Style islands guarantee 3 Gold Treats as a souvenir and another 3 as a completion bonus. Remember, you can refresh the available islands once daily. To utilize Gulliver's Ship, you'll need cargo, which can be crafted or sourced from your furniture catalog. Island type influences snack type; use the magnifying glass to preview before sending Gulliver. Longer expeditions (6 hours) typically yield more treats. For example, Piano Island offers all three tiers of Tart Snacks.
Alternative Snack Acquisition Methods
- Requests and Gifts: Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats can be earned by fulfilling requests or receiving gifts from campsite visitors.
- Daily Goals: Silver and Gold Treats are often included in daily goals.
- Blathers's Treasure Trek: Using Villager Maps with Blathers's Auto-Trek (costing 5 Leaf Tokens) provides Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats.
Understanding Snacks: Types and Tiers
Snacks are categorized into regular (Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats) and themed snacks. Regular snacks are universally appreciated. Themed snacks are further divided into three tiers: Plain, Tasty, and Gourmet, with Gourmet providing the most friendship points.

Strategically Giving Snacks
Matching snack themes to animal themes maximizes friendship points. Regular treats are theme-agnostic. Gold Treats yield the highest friendship points (25). Ten Gold Treats can boost a level 1 animal to level 15. Check an animal's theme via their icon at your campsite or in your Contacts/Pete's Parcel Service. To give a snack, tap the animal and select "Have a snack!". This option is highlighted in red when friendship points are awarded.
