Once they are logged back in, they will find themselves upon a different mystery island. Players can do this infinitely till they land upon the island of their choice.

This is quite a helpful hack for players determined to land on specific rare mystery islands in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It saves players a lot of time and Nook Mile Tickets that they would have otherwise spent going on multiple mystery island tours with Kapp'n.
