Ode To Alhambra
Pen a poetic tribute to the palace. Alhambra has been restored, and its opulence is like poetry in motion (okay, the palace doesn't actually move, but you get the point...). We're in awe of the grandoise luxury that is Alhambra, and we want to provide it with a poetic tribute before it vanishes into thin air (like a genie, back into its bottle) on Monday morning. Are you up for the challenge? BRING OUT YOUR INNER POET: 1. Get inspired by Alhambra and write a poem about it that incorporates the following words: - Alhambra
2. Your poem may be as long or short as you wish, but make sure to incorporate all of the words listed above. Also, it'... By on 29th January 2010 04:14pm

Lonely Hearts Club
Are you looking for your other half? The Heartbreak Hotel is now open and welcoming Habbos of all shapes, sizes, and colours. So you can get to know other Habbos better, we're inviting all Habbos to put up a dating advertisement in the Heartbreak Hotel forums and tell us who you are and what kind of Habbo you're looking for. Don't forget to include the name of the room you'll be hanging out in and what time so that potential matches can easily spot you. The 10 best/funniest/most amusing adverts will receive a Swing Set and 2 Habbo Points, and maybe they'll even be rewarded with the perfect match! Of course, we're still reminding all Habbos to follow Comment & Read More... |
Purple for Passion
A smooth and silky ride Something's afoot — there's the smell of heavy perfume in the air, and we've been seeing interesting bits of lace scattered down the basement hallway. Following the trail, we discovered a crate full of some squishy purple material. Dragging the crates (no mean feat, I tell you) into the light, we discovered, to our joy, that they were bright purple Love Beds — complete with silk sheets, a stereo headboard set, and bright lights (for reading, of course). We're putting all our stock of Love Beds on sale in the Club Shop, exclusively for our Habbo Club members. So go ahead and spane in… we guarantee you that it's going to be a smooth ride. |

Our very own Dr.Doolittles
StrayPixels winners can probably talk to the animals they draw...maybe. After a month of squeaks, squawks, barks, growls, and whatever noise a salamander makes, the pixel pushers in StrayPixels have sent in some awesome pet concepts. I'll be glad to finally remove all the newspaper that was covering the floor around here. The "little accident" speech only works once... and with a small animal... not an elephant. Yuck. Anyway. The winning submissions for the pets theme were made by AdamKingdom, Warmness, and SMechoulamC. If you see them around ... By on 29th January 2010 01:03am

What About Me?
Don’t forget your faithful companion when you return to school. Real life and virtual pets really aren’t that different... okay, so one smells way worse and poops and chews your favourite shoes, but they both get just as confused when you start disappearing for hours on end when school goes back. To curb their separation anxiety we’ve released three new Pet food items and all you need are Pixels to get them! Head to the Pet Shop and treat your Pooch, Kitty, Croc, Bear or Boar to the following: School Books - 400 Pixels for a nutritional value of 100
They may not be items your real life Pets should chew on, but in Habbo we’ll believe you when your dog ... By on 28th January 2010 10:21pm

The Desperate Struggle of Hans and Franz
An epic family feud. Who will you support? Remember our beloved Kitchen Inspector? Aside from his constant nitpicking and 'go by the book' attitude, there's a real person under that cold exterior. His name is Hans...and he recently got some unexpected news. Turns out his bothersome Uncle Dastard kicked the bucket, leaving a family fortune to be inherited! Among the morbid news, a shocking family secret was revealed. Hans has a long lost brother, Franz! However, Franz has recently become obsessed with his weight after being made fun of at his high school reunion. He's taken a new oath to life by attempting to eat healthy and work that extra weight off (You might find him furiously panting after running in place for extended periods...creepy). In his last will and testament, U... By on 28th January 2010 07:46pm

A Palace to Admire
Alhambra has risen again, with your magnificent help! We also got the answers to the Quest. It may have been on its way to become dusty and forgotten, but due to your diligence, the pearl set in emeralds will shine once more! The many gardens, halls and rooms have been lovingly restored and although we appreciated every contribution so much, only a few could be deemed winners of this particular challenge... Congratulations go to... HALLS OF ALHAMBRA

Featured Music Review: Stereos
Proudly presenting our weekly Featured Music Review by ,SugarRush Review of the self-titled album by Stereos
Stereos is a group of 5 guys, Daniel Johnson, Robb Chalifoux, Pat Kordyback, Miles Holmwood and Aaron Verdonk, who became famous by the Canadian show, Disband. Stereos bring a unique sound to their recently released CD. Stereos have been creating hit after hit starting with their well known song 'Summer Girl', 'Throw Ya Hands Up' and now 'Turn It Up'. The boys have been busy with their music videos and their tour around Canada (which I am soon going to see (; ).

Spell cast on Bucho6
You are our only hope as evil alien invaders have taken mind control of Bucho6 and want to take over Habbo. Aliens have come to Habbo and want to turn it into a Zirkonian paradise. This will spell doom for us all. The first step to achieving their evil aims has been to put a mind-control device to work on poor old Bucho6. They plan to get to the very core of Habbo by using his staff access. Can you save him and Habbo? As the mind-control device only works on adults, you can help save the day. Find your way past the Zirkonians and track down Bucho6. Stop him from touching any important switches and find the mind-control device password to stop it. Once we know what it is, we can free his poor little mind and boot the aliens out for good! Join the group below and find the starting room for this all importa... By on 27th January 2010 12:28pm
