First you'll need to enter one of the lobbies, where you will find a list of all the open games, and also a button to create a game. If you create a game you can alter the time frame, location and number of teams.

Then, just wait for other Habbos to join, and then you can start the game! It's as easy as that.

You can also kick habbos from your game. NOTE: Each game costs 2 gaming tickets.

The idea of the game is to throw snowballs at your opponent so that they fall to the ground, you have 5 snowballs, to throw them at someone, click on that person, if they're hiding, press shift and the square where they are.

Once your snowballs have all gone, you'll need to make more by clicking the snowball button. Beware, this means your Habbo will bend down to create a snowball, and therefore is open for any shots from opponents. If you're hit, your health meter will be reduced by one fifth. If it reaches zero, you're knocked flat for a short while, after which you'll return with full health.

Each arena has different settings, there's the forest, the river, the fort, the labyrinth and the island (these will have different names depending on which hotel you play the game on). Each have their own set of advantages and disadvantages of use.

You score 1 point for every person you hit with a snowball, and five points if you knock them out.

Your score is added to your teams overall score. There is a high score board (usually found within the Snowstorm section of your Hotel) which records the months, weeks and all time best players of Snow Storm, the best each month wins a prize! There are >also 4 levels, which work accordling:

• 0-100 points - Beginner
• 100-2,000 points - Amateur
• 2,000-10,000 - Intermediate
• 10,000 and above - Expert.

You can play in arenas designed especially for your level of expertise, or participate in multi level games in the "free for all" arenas.
