High Score!
Congratulations to the winning Arcade Hall designers. Inspired by the Arcade Machine, you kicked it old school by building fun-tastic rooms in honour of the Arcade Classics. Just as it's too hard to stick to only one game, it was too tough to pick only one winner. Nostaligia ruled supreme! Get ready to play in the ultimate Arcade Halls: |
Home, Sweet Ice?
Due to the warm and cozy circumstances of our hotel, the polar bears are threatening an up-roar! Our new friends the bears are settling in quite well since their arrival, however, one breed is having a hard time adjusting. Reports of zoo keepers being mauled by sweaty polar bears are trickling in and we're worried for the safety of our guests! In order to stop this problem short in its tracks, we are advising all polar bear owners to build a frosty sanctuary for their pets! A place for them to cool off and enjoy their frozen apples, not their owners... SUBMIT YOUR POLAR BEAR SANCTUARY FOR OUR REVIEW: 1. Build your Polar Bear Habitat inside the CA hotel. You can find ice and snow from the Arctic Furni r...

Chat With Members Of The Band FranKo
The guys from the band FranKo are coming to Habbo this afternoon to chat live with you about getting ahead in the music industry. FranKo are a young four piece band from South London who formed in October 2007 and have already made their mark on the UK music scene, turning the heads of audiences and people in the industry. They’ve been gigging in and around London including twice at The Indig02 @ the O2 (playing to a crowd of over a thousand), The Metro (r.i.p) as part of the City Showcase, twice at The Astoria 2 (r.i.p), and also venues like The Garage, Nambucca (r.i.p) and the ULU Barfly (which is luckily still standing...)

And the Winner is...
All our finalists have sparkles in their veins After 3 weeks of The Twilight Saga: New Moon-related events, we finally have the créme de la créme of New Moon enthusiasts ready to duke it out for the title of the Ultimate New Moon fan. After a flurry of questions relating to The Twilight Saga: New Moon, we were at a standstill between twinkerbell and Ked. A slip of the keyboard from Ked (no, the director of The Twilight Saga: New Moon was not Chris Weltz and Taylor Lautner) declared twinkerbell the winner, with Ked in second place. Another sudden death match between the Habbos who all ea... By on 04th December 2009 12:09pm

Your Say!: Polls
Counting the days 'til Christmas morning... Last week, we asked Habbos what they thought about the man in the moon, and life beyond the planet we're living in. It seems that while more than half of Habbos think that only explorers and scientists will be living on the moon permanently, over 30% would also want to live on this satellite. Looking for more answers? Check it out below: Do you think we'll be able to survive on the moon? Maybe, if we had the right technology and scientific info. - 63.37%
Do you think there might be aliens on the moon? Definitely. We might be making first contact! - 37.04%

The Chosen One
Habbo’s biggest New Moon fan announced! Ok, you can stop smacking your head against the computer desk because you missed today’s trivia finale - this little article will tell you everything you need to know. As Tom Cruise during his non-crazy, pre couching surfing days put it - "I feel the need, the need for speed". Forget just New Moon smarts, this event was also about quick reflexes and thinking on your feet. After ten questions were devoured, three Habbos made it through to the tie-breaker round - Revolver, -Mianna- and oobylicious. Only one finalist managed to get her correct answer in first, three times! Our congratulations and the Biggest New Moon Fan crown has now been presented to Oobylicious! Well done to all the finalists who put up a courageous fight and a... By on 04th December 2009 07:12am

A New Pet!
Today's advent surprise is a bit out of the ordinary... we are launching a whole new pet to Habbo! They are cuddly and cute, but don't be fooled by their plush exterior... underneath hides a ferocious creature, ready to serve and protect you! As the December 4th Advent Surprise, we are launching the Pet Bear! You can find the bears in the Pet Shop portion of the Catalogue right now. Since polar bears aren't too fond of warm snuggly pillows, we are also launching a somewhat unusual pet bed... an ice flake! We also got some frozen treats for our new friends, so check out the catalogue now! Please "bear" in mind that the new pets don't work quite the same way as the other pets. Picking a breed determines the range... By on 04th December 2009 05:14am

Have a Beary Merry Christmas!
Looking for something to cuddle this holiday season? We've got the perfect catch for you! Wondering what today's Christmas present is? Well, it crept inside the Hotel early this morning, and we caught it taking a nap in front of the lobby fireplace. After luring it to the Catalogue with salmon and ice apples, we're happy to present the latest addition to our pet collection, the Bear! So purchase your very own pet Bear and keep it happy and healthy by taking care of it, training it, and making sure it doesn't make your carpet smell. We've also included more items to make your furry visitor happy — a shipment of Ice Nests, Ice Apples, and Salmon can now be found in the Pet Accessories section of the Catalogue as well.

Slippery When Wet
It's an Arctic icy sanctuary for the polar bears! If you were looking for the perfect place to put in your pet Polar Bear, then we're two steps in front of you. Check out our shipment of Arctic furni, with snow freshly-packed from the North Pole, and sealed within our climate-controlled Arctic section in the Catalogue. Unfortunately, you've got to be careful of the tuna in the Fish Hole — bears are known to swipe them away from your fishing line even before you can say 'Bear in the hole!' We're also looking for the perfect place to bring our polar bears, so we're calling on all Habbo zoologists to build a polar bear sanctuary (small room, 25 Habbos) for your pudgy pet and send it over to competitions.sg [at] sulake.com.

Michael Jackson’s Sister Running Scam Site?
Janet Jackson got it wrong (sorry to say). The best things in life are not necessarily free. Don’t believe me? Ask the numerous Habbos who have stopped me in the lobby over the past week to plead, grovel, beg and implore me for their hard earned furni back. Temptation can come in many forms, but guess what, so can key loggers and password phishing scams. The only retros you should concern yourselves with are those on Brunswick Street or King Street that trade in Ben Sherman trousers or Pendleton Safari Suits. There is only one Habbo AU and even the likes of “US” (i.e. staff) would not care to know your password. Lock it up. Eat it. Sit on it. Bury it. Launch it into space. But never... ever... spanulge the digits. What to do?
