What A Puzzler!
I'm having trouble judging the winners of the Alhambra competition. Can you help? Deep in the Alhambra Kingdom, nine teams of Habbos began their mission of exploring a series of ancient ruins in the hope to find some treasure. Their quest took them to an underground mine until they lost contact with eachother. Scared, cold and wet, their anticipation turned to fear as the walls of this great mine began to crumble around them! Deeper down the mines they went, trying to protect themselves from harm. And then stroke of luck, they found it - a large room filled with tiles. Scratched into the walls was a message: "Use the tiles to create a masterpiece and I shall grant you an escape!". The teams set forth to create wonderful puzzles using tiles found from the rubble, pictures to take back to the Habbo Community w... By on 26th January 2010 04:20pm

Featured Movie Review: Did You Hear About the Morgans?
Proudly presenting our weekly Featured Movie Review by Berry9 Review of Did You Hear About the Morgans?
There are numerous romantic comedies released each year, and it is only common to see certain themes recycled often enough that one can already figure out what's going to happen next. This movie, "Did You Hear About the Morgans", is part of the recycled theme movies, but don't let that fool you into not giving it a try! The story is about Meryl (Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and The City fame) and Paul (Hugh Grant, what romantic comedy is complete without this guy?) Morgan. Although successful in life while living in New York, their relationship is having a hard time that they're about to separate. A... By on 26th January 2010 02:52pm

Remembrance Day
We want to keep you in our minds and hearts Every year, we want to remember the best and the brightest Habbos — those who have wowed us with their creativity and blew our socks off with their talent and ingenuity. The 2010 Habbo Awards is definitely for those who have come up to the top of the Habbo community — but that doesn't mean you can't be a part of it. Build a commemoration gallery (large room, 50 Habbos max) for the 2010 Habbo Awards, where we can place the winners' trophies and other Habbos can drop by and check out the highlights of the year that was. There should be space for 9 trophies — 4 for the ... By on 26th January 2010 06:14am

The Tuesday Ten
Are they or aren't they? Quick! Run to your bomb shelters! Hide under your sheets! Hold your blankie tight in your arms and repeat after me: 'There's no place like home, there's no place like home'. The world is falling apart — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are going to split up! According to News of the World, a British tabloid, the couple known as Brangelina are rumoured to be headed for Splitsville. In fact, so out of love these two A-list stars are that they've already signed an agreement for joint custody of their 6 children. Sources say that Brad's tired of Angie's super-controlling ways; Angie's sick of Brad's million and one affairs with other women. Who's to believe? No-one, if their representative could have a word or two in otherwise. According to their spokespeople (and even Perez Hilton!),... By on 26th January 2010 04:49am

Are you a Nick or a Francois?
When you meet the person of your dreams, will you be yourself or a rebellious alter-ego to win them over? Imagine this: You meet the perfect partner on a summer holiday and somehow, because of geography, ex-boyfriends, girlfriends and your parents, you cannot win them over.

Be yourself and hope that it wins through in the end or turn into a rebellious, crazy and volatile alter ego. Which would you choose? You now have the chance to make that decision in Habbo.
