Description
In Desert Island Escape, play as a team of three characters, each of whom have a special power.

Desert Island Escape is a minigame in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. It involves escaping a desert island by obtaining four parts of a raft (three logs and a sail), without running out of food supplies, or running out of days to escape. Monsters can fight the player.

A port of the game also appears in the Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo update. It can be accessed through the Wii U furniture item.

Special powers
