What's a Gyroid ?
Gyroids are small figurine items that are found in Animal Crossing; and when turned on (By pressing "A" in front of the gyroid), they make periodic little movements, in addition to a unique sound. In real life, a Gyroid is actually a reference to a "gyrating clay figurine" called a Haniwa.
What are they for?
Like mentioned above, every gyroid has a different sound, look, and motion. When combined with the sounds of other gyroid's you can discover neat new tunes you can show off to your friends, or enjoy yourself. The time when gyroids do their little dances and make their sounds actually corresponds with the beats of the music playing in your house; gotten from K.K. Slider on Saturday nights in the Roost.
Where can I get them?
In Animal Crossing: City Folk (Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City! PAL) Gyroids can also be obtained from winning Hide N' Seek; in which by finding all three participating residents under fifteen minutes, you will be rewarded with either a gyroid, or a furniture item from the animal who set the game up. However, Gyroids will appear in the ground after a day of precipitation the previous day (Snow or rain).
*NOTE, Animals will randomly offer to play hide and seek with you when speaking to them.
Running out of room? Try the Roost!
A new feature included in City Folk is the ability to store Gyroids in the Roost, located below the museum. However, there's a catch...In order to be able to store Gyroids, you must drink a total of SEVEN of brewster's coffee. You can only drink one coffee a day, so it will take a whole week to be able to get this feature. Once you do, Brewster will give you the oppurtunity to store gyroids at his coffee shop. He doesn't have much room, so he doesn't take duplicates.
