πHow to start playing
Playing My Neighbor Alice is very straightforward. Head to myneighboralice.com and click on "Play".

As soon as you click "Play", you will jump directly into the game, you won't be asked to create any account, as we want you to jump in the Archipelago as soon as possible. This is what we refer to as a Guest Mode. What is that about?
Guest Mode
When you click "Play", there's no need to create an account or choose an avatar name right away. You can customize your look if you want, and then, with just one more click, you'll be dropped straight into the Archipelago.
Once you're in the Archipelago, you'll quickly meet a few key characters and begin exploring. Press "M" to open the map and navigate your surroundings. Whenever you feel ready, you can choose to create an account or, in My Neighbor Alice slang, you can decide to become a Neighbor. What does that mean?

Become a Neighbor
When you're in Guest Mode, you'll notice a big "N" in the top-left corner. Click it to become a Neighbor!

Becoming a Neighbor means creating an account, choosing your nickname in the Archipelago and truly starting your adventure. Trading with other players, fishing, crafting are just a couple of examples of the cool things you can do.

However, if you want to take your experience to the next level, you might consider getting a piece of land. So, whatβs that all about?
Get Land
To gain full access to all features, you'll need to get your hands on a piece of land. The Archipelago is divided into 100,000 land plots, and having access to one is the key to fully enjoying your time in the Archipelago. Think of land as your personal home in the Lummelunda Archipelago.
If you want to learn more about land, we recommend visiting the Land section of the docs.
For now, itβs important to know that there are three ways to gain access to your land:
Free Trial Land
If you're lucky, you might have the chance to claim a Free Trial Land (just click "Claim Free Trial Land") . While you won't have full ownership, some limitations may apply, such as the land being revoked if neglected, it still represents a great opportunity to play. You'll have access to all the features, and who knows? If you truly take care of it, the land might even become yours in the future.

Owned Land
If you want full control over your experience, you can always choose to buy a piece of land. No one can revoke it, you have complete ownership, including the ability to share it. The best option currently available is to visit the Marketplace and purchase one from fellow players.
Shared Land
If youβre not interested in the options above, or if theyβre not available, you can always find out who owns a land in-game (excluding Free Trial Lands) and ask them to share it with you. If they agree, youβll be able to play and explore the land together. However, keep in mind that the landowner retains full control and may choose to stop sharing access at any time.
