How To Unlock Harvey's Island (Photopia)

Photopia Unlock Procedure

Step	Process
1	Build Nook's Cranny
2	Build a Bridge on your island
3	Build ~3 Getaway Package Plots on your island.
4	After the 3rd new villager arrives, you'll get a notice that the Resident Services is being renovated
5	Talk to Harv on your island, then fly to his island via the Airport

Unlocking the Photo Studio (Photopia) will require you to progress through the game somewhat by at least getting to the stage where your Resident Services is being renovated into a Town Hall. After this happens, you will be able to access Harv's Island via the airport.

Build 3 Plots For New Villagers

In order to unlock Harvey, you'll need to build 3 getaway package plots for potential residents to live in! After the 3rd villager moves in and the Resident Hall is flagged for renovation, Harvey will arrive.

Fly To Harv's Island

After Harvey comes to your island, you'll be able to fly to his! Go to the Airport to do this. You can access Photopia inside his house from now on!
