Say It With Flowers
Show your love in a sweet smellin' way! Do you have a friend in this Hotel that is always there for you? Someone that keeps you afloat when others drag you down? This is your chance to show your love. Build something in your room that signifies your dear friend, using plants and flowers. It can be anything... anything that is special to the two of you! Maybe your friend is as sweet as a berry, so you build one from Lupines and Staring Bushes... Or maybe you met in the pizzeria one day, so you make a huge flower pizza! Spell a word, make a smiley, do a heart... Anything goes, just be creative! Okay, you get the drift now, right? Something special, built from flowers... Oh, and we want you to tell us why this is special, and why this friend means so much to you! HOW TO ENTER: ... By on 01st April 2010 02:30pm

Of Verses and Vines
Be inspired by the beauty of nature With the Habbo gardens blooming left and right, we can't help but just want to sink down on the grass and gaze at the beauty of the Orchird Tree, or contemplate the glow of the Flower Lamp. One might even say that we're inspired by these plants to start composing poetry, and we're pretty sure you are, too. Write a short original poem, not more than 8 lines long, about any of the Flower Power plants currently available in the Catalogue for Easter. You can dedicate it to the Flytrap, or to the Blue Pansies, or even the White Rushes (they're romantics). Submit your poem in the competition form below and hope that your entry bears fruit, because if you're one of the top 5 poets that we choose, you'll receive: - a pair of Flytrap teles

Beautiful Blooms
How much are those flowers by the window? Since it's springtime in Habbo, we're airing out all the old hotel rooms and putting in fresh flowers in the bedrooms. Unfortunately, our go-to flowershop, Guadalupe's Blooms, ended up closing down — something about an errant cat, a bed of roses, and a broken electric guitar. Because of that, we're looking for a new flower shop that we can get some awesome flowers for Habbo Hotel. So if you're a Habbo entrepreneur, then build a flower shop (small room, 25 Habbos max) and send it over to competitions.sg [at] sulake.com with your Habbo name, the attached screenshot, and a 100-word explanation of why we should come over and buy flowers from your shop. Don't forget to review the ... By on 01st April 2010 11:30am

Say It With Flowers
A single bloom says a thousand words Back in the olden days, lovers would send secret messages to each other using flowers. For example, a bouquet of pure white roses might mean that someone had a crush on you, but a single red rose in the middle of a dozen white roses may mean that someone loves you with a burning passion. Violets were given for remembrance, and lilies for celebrating a new birth. Who knew so many messages could be contained in a single bloom? So we're inviting all Habbos to send their own messages with flowers. Create a mosaic image using only Habbo plants (large room, 50 Habbos each). You can design hearts, smiley faces, a sandwich… the forest canopy's the limit! Remember, you have to use the e...

Testing... 1... 2... 3...
Are your fingers ready? Big things are heading your way! Thanks for your patience during last night’s maintenance break. Some Habbos complained that there weren't enough visible upgrades to the Hotel after the down time, but the truth is we’ve been putting in the legwork for something very special! The Techies have worked long and hard on this project, so we’re mega excited to unveil it to everyone today. Introducing the new Habbo application for the iPhone/iPod touch! :O I know what you’re thinking... Jegoscar wasn’t far off the mark with his video - in fact, we thought he must’ve bugged the office!

Featured Music Review: All Time Low
Proudly presenting our weekly Featured Music Review by ,SugarRush Review of All Time Low's album
To tell you the truth, before this album came out, I had no clue who All Time Low was. And now I think they are simply an amazing band. On this album, I think every single song is great. Each song has a lesson or meaning and deep lyrics that most people could relate to. This album brings a pop-punk and alternative sound to the face of music. Their hit ‘Weightless’ is what made me fall in love with them. Weightless was said to be a ‘contagiously catchy song with well thought out lyrics’. I couldn’t agree more. Other awesome son...

Dang, it's kind warm in here.
Oh no, wait, that's just the scorching hot StrayPixels entries... Just this past month the pixelers in the StrayPixels pixel art group were challenged to create the hottest place in Habbo. And, by hottest place we meant Habbo's Underworld, not CrestHawk's secret Nascar room behind the water cooler... although I'm pretty sure we could make the argument it's the same thing. Anyway. We received a lot of very hot, very fiery, Habbo underworlds, all of which notMiceElf has probably visited once or twice in his lifetime... The winners for the Underworld theme are EpicBrand, Mechaxplotation, and Comment & Read More... |

Featured Movie Review: Hachiko: A Dog's Story
Proudly presenting our weekly Featured Movie review by Berry9 Review of: Hachiko: A Dog's Story
The story is a remake of the Japanese movie Hachiko, based on true events about an Akita breed dog named Hachiko and its undying loyalty for its master. In this remake, Hachiko was being sent from a temple in Japanto the US, but a small transportation blunder causes Hachiko's cage to open up. At the same time, Parker Wilson (Richard Geere), was going home late from the train station. Seeing the dog in front of him with nobody looking for it, Parker decided to bring it inside the train station to Carl (Jason Alexander) so that he could give it back to the owner. Since it was already late, and instead of leaving the ... By on 30th March 2010 04:00pm

Unearthing the Mystery, Part 2
Somewhere over the rainbow, plants fly Another Habbo gardener has come forward with more clues on how to help your Flower Seeds grow, and you can visit him in the Chlorophyllum gardens. He calls himself The Purple Prince, but we think it may just be because he reads too much fantasy novels during his off hours. As always, we suggest that you take your camera along and snap some shots in the gardens, in case you stumble upon a clue or two. And don't forget to bring your umbrellas — sudden spring showers are fairly common in this section of the Habbo gardens. :) |
Seeds of Change
Have you spotted the mysterious seedlings that infiltrated the Hotel this week? Not long after discovering the long lost gardens of Habbo, something odd started to happen. Thousands upon thousands of seedlings have fallen from the sky and landed in hotel rooms all across Habbo. Perhaps you have discovered one yourself? If you have, then you're probably a little confused! Well, we found out that these seedlings can be transformed into something beautiful, but only if we can discover the secret formula from the plants in the Habbo gardens.

Soil Your Plants!
A little water, a little sunlight, and a whole lot of love We've been hearing some stories about several Habbos attempting to encourage their Flower Seeds to grow. Some of them have placed their seeds under a Spotlight and some Country Rain. Others have taken to singing to their seeds in the hopes of making it grow. While we're growing quite concerned about the sanity of some of these pixels, we can't help but think that you guys might have a great idea or two up your gardening sleeves. So how do you think the Seed can grow? Does it need water and sunlight? Maybe a string quartet playing 'Endless Love'? Do you need... By on 30th March 2010 08:00am

The Tuesday Ten
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad... In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Latin superstar Ricky Martin (who hasn't been livin' la vida loca for quite some time now) has announced in his official blog that he is, in fact, gay. And no, we don't just mean that he's a happy person. Of course, his legions of female fans (many of which have been following his hip-shaking moves since the 80s, when he was a member of the Latin boy band Menudo) will probably be disappointed at this revelation, but hey! At least now when you watch him sing 'She Bangs', you can have a pretty good giggle while you're at it. However, we're celebrating Ricky Martin's happiness with this week's Tuesday Ten!
