In the timeless spirit of Oprah’s infamous car giveaway: you get a trophy, and you get a trophy, and you get a trophy, and … everybody gets a trophy! |
Building on earlier OSHA and Pokémon-themed giveaways, users role-playing everything from McDonalds to IMDB have given out hundreds of specialized trophies to random recipients throughout the hotel.
While some are strictly collectible, other trophies come attached to events: in one instance, a Simon Cowell impersonator has even given out invitations to an upcoming American Idol-styled singing contest.
If you’re looking to join in the fun, we suggest popping by the Welcome Lounge. Keep your wits about you, make friends, and wish luck to those American Idol hopefuls!

Of all the rares to try and hide from a pack of sleuthing Habbos, the impressively-tall Blue Pillar would not be my first choice! Users found the rare at the end of a hunt beginning with a mysterious article posted this morning.
Following through a series of secret rooms (complete with kick war functionality †), users discovered clues written on sticky notes pointing toward a message displayed on the catalogue’s rare page.
Using this message to deduce the password to a room full of hidden treasure, the fastest users (jmlowsx, b0y, and belle) nabbed a Pillar of their own before they were released to the community for 50 credits each!

Goodbye, OSHA … hello, Oshawott! The “trophy collecting” event trend that took the hotel by storm in August has captured lighting in a bottle for a second time, this go-around with a focus on Pokémon \(ì w ì)/
Amidst randomly-gifted starter Pokémon trophies from a mysterious character named “ProfessorOak”, users have spent time trading, gathering supplies, and exploring recreations of some classic Kanto Region locations.
What comes next for Habbo’s Pokémon world is anyone’s guess, but if one iteration doesn’t fill your Pokéball, you’re not out of luck: several copycat games inspired by the original have already formed. Happy hunting! µ

It’s lean, it’s mean, it’s green, and it’s … askew!
The most beloved plant to never hit the middle of a floor tile has returned to our hotel as of this morning and Aloe Vera fever has hotel economists in a frenzy.
