The Happy Home Network Design Contest, also known as the Happy Home Challenge, was a monthly event accessible from the Happy Home Network in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. It ran from October 2015 to May 2017^[1] and was run by Tom Nook under the alias King Nook. During its run, there was a new theme every month. Each contest included related items to use in the design, similar to DLC, which the player could use in later designs if they participated. Players could submit and vote on designs during the first half of each month, and the best designs were displayed on the Happy Home Network in the latter half.

As the contests progressed, more of the exclusive items were repeats of those used during previous contests. The October 2016 contest was the last one to include a new item (the Monitor Tower). From November 2016 to the final contest (May 2017), all exclusive items were repeats. The items distributed in this contest were later added to Animal Crossing: New Leaf in the Welcome amiibo update and can be purchased from the catalog if the player has Happy Home Designer save data on their Nintendo 3DS.
