The winners of the synchronized swimming competition have been announced, and we couldn’t be more proud!
Along with impressive teams from France and Canada, the Scottish team sponsored by Palsternakka has made their mark on the competition!
Dive below the cut for a full list of medal winners and links to the winning entries ¬
The first dozen Habbos will enter the Habbolympic hall of fame via synchronized swimming, but if your lockstep poolwork is not your forte, fear not: the Lido will host another medal showdown this Wednesday.
Details note that players can participate in up to three event timeslots to show off their best dives. Those who impress the judges the most will walk away with a trophy and badge, so bring your diving tickets!
It’s official: for the first time in almost fifteen years, a new X posting from lead dev Macklebee confirms that Battleball: Rebound will be returning to the Habboverse on Thursday, August 15th.
Can’t wait to get jumping? Read through the thread for a sneak peek on how scoring mechanics have changed: unlike in the past, players can now earn “assist” points by helping to lock a tile for their team!
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
