Origins has never been so zen! Today’s Funky Friday sale brings a series of recoloured Bonsai Trees to the hotel, and as long as you’re after pink, orange, or white, there’s a colour just for you!
While the art of Bonsai is known for necessitating patience, you’ll have to make a snap decision on these trees. Why? Once they … leaf … the catalogue on Saturday morning, they won’t go up for sale again †
Heads up, Battleballers: an update from Origins dev Macklebee confirms that a major shake-up is on the way! Unlike in previous iterations, users will no longer be granted points for all rounds played º
Instead, points will be awarded or deducted based on round result, and players will be stratified across a series of lobbies by score. Hungry for data? Mack has also confirmed the imminent launch of a Battleball API!
See any dirty pigeons around the hotel? Me either! Today’s rare launch brings our first iteration of the classic bird bath to Origins at a collector-friendly price of 75 credits —
Unlike previous catalogue rares, Bird Bath (Blue) will only stick around for a few days – if you’re keen to make one of these fountains your own, act quickly!
The pool is heating up! A competition has launched asking participating Habbolympic teams to submit their best synchronized swimming routine for a chance to win one of Origins’ first prize badges.
Participants can submit their videos by via X. The top three teams will walk away with signed trophies, Sports furni prize packs, and a gold, silver, or bronze duck badge to call their own ¶
As release of Battleball grows ever closer, the team has offered more launch day information: the game will debut alongside a week-long leaderboard tournament!
True to the minigame’s history, the Battleball tournament will also see the return of metal Dragon Lamps! The best will have the chance to walk away with one of five Golden lamps in the near future, so get practicing ¬
Sound the alarms: it’s a giveaway emergency! To promote the Habbo Origins X page, the team will be giving away ten Typewriters this coming Tuesday.
The ten lucky winners will be chosen among those who quote the post linked above. For those scorned by luck this time around, fret not: the team has confirmed there will be many more Typewriter giveaways to come ƒ
Update: Congrats to the winners!
Calling all Habbos who took time to vote in a particular “World’s Favourite Colour” poll seven years ago: we owe today’s Funky Friday drop to you!
Marrs Green and Plasto are both crowd pleasers, so take advantage of this doubly-loved combo and stock up. As always, the sale will bid us bon voyage by Saturday morning – don’t miss out µ
The “No” side takes it! The results of the second Infobus poll were posted late this morning confirming that Funky Friday items are not eligible for re-release.
If you’ve been hunting for previously released Friday sale furni, then now is the time to make your trades: these items will not be returning to the catalogue.
In other Funky Friday news, the team is asking users to vote their preferred Plasto colour for tomorrow’s drop via the official Habbo X page. Green, red, beige, or yellow once again – go and make your pick!
Notice anything after this Tuesday’s hotel reboot?
If you answered “no”, then think again – the Infobus Park’s queue has been fenced in, and voters will be happy to hear the bus’ Pura Minibar is now operational!
Other fixes include functionality for the Scoreboard and Lert and major improvements to the camera and photo viewing. Time to get snapping —
Is the air a little hazy for anyone or is that just me? Origins’ very first Smoke Machine has made a big entrance in red and is available to purchase as of Tuesday morning.
The team noted that they’ll be experimenting with different pricepoints and durations going forward, so take advantage of the 35 credit sale while you can: this bad boy may leave in a puff of smoke at any time! †
