A Free Online Game: Habbo Hotel

Habbo is an online game that is free of cost, and has over 60 million players created. To clear it up, a "Habbo" is a character that play within the realm of the Habbo Hotel. Within the Habbo Hotel you can walk, communicate, create rooms, exchange items, interact with the environment, and much more.

One of the biggest and greatest aspects of Habbo is the furniture that you can buy and place inside your room. Everyone loves furniture, and a lot of it is highly unique. Furniture items range from chairs, couches, and sofas to rubber ducks, laser gates, and record players.

Another big aspect of the game is the ability to choose the characteristics for your Habbo. When creating a unique Habbo you can pick out whether they wear a hat or just have hair, whether they wear a t-shirt or a hoodie, the kind of pants they wear, their shoes, and other characteristics such as color schemes. There is an array of different faces to choose from as well, so choose wisely. I personally chose the face that correlated with my own personal looks best. The hats within the game go from santa hats to beanies, and for hair there is the almighty afro of the Habbo realm.

With any game with furniture and other items up for purchase, there needs to be some sort of economical currency. In Habbo, the currency is known as Habbo Coins. Habbo Coins can purchase you that needed couch for your room, or even that perfect rug to match the rest of your room. The best thing about Habbo and furniture is that it gets updated, especially with seasonal items such as display presents for Christmas, and other items for the very recent Thanksgiving. To obtain Habbo Coins you can personally purchase them for about 5 for one American dollar(20 cents each). The numerous ways in order to get these coins is astonishing. Some ways of getting these Habbo Coins are:

-By text messaging Habbo personel from your cell phone.
-There are special gift cards in EB Games Stores/Gamestop Stores made specically for Habbo.
-Through the ole fashion Credit Card.
-CVS now has Habbo cards.
-By calling through your home phone.
-Or even just by using the website itself.

You are not limited to these ways, there's even more ways to get your hands on some Habbo Coins! Habbo Coins are not free though, and Habbo personel is very strict on fraud when it comes to the Habbo Coin currency, even going as far as to ban someone for it.

In the world of Habbo Hotel, there is many fun contests and games to play with other players from all over the Habbo world. The games found within Habbo are amazing. Games range from regular bowling and diving to Battle Ball. Battle Ball is a gaming event where teams try to color floor tiles their own team color while bouncing upon "Kangaroo Balls". Another popular Habbo game is Wobble Squabble. Wobble Squabble is a game between two opposing players. Both players face each other, and try to balance on some inflatable tubes. To knock off your opponent you must slap and nudge your opponent till they fall off, but slapping and nudging in a fit of rage can knock yourself off of the tubes. But in order to play any games, you must purchase Game Tickets from the Habbo site itself. These tickets can be purchased with Habbo Coins in Habbo Hotel game rooms.

Habbo even goes as far as to allowing players to adopt cats and dogs. Each pet has a unique personality and identity. You can control how your pets breed, how your pet looks, and even how your pet feels. There is even a way to open up a window known as their "well being box" to show how your pet is doing. Upon opening this window you can see your pets age, if your pet is thirsty, if your pet is hungry, your pets happiness, and your pets nature(personality basically). But there is more uses to pets than just having a fuzzy and cuddly animal roaming your room. Pets can be used to play in special games such as Pet Sumo and Race Rooms.

Ontop of all of that, there is a special membership club that grants you specialized priority access into hotel and public rooms. Plus there are many more features once you become a member such as free rare furniture, an explosion of extra friend list spaces, a badge showing that you're a member, new dances, and much more. But this alone costs money, about 25 Habbo coins a month. This equals out to $5 a month to become a member, but if you're a heavy player it shall come well in handy.

Overall, Habbo is a great game with a great and exploding community. There are so many things to do in the game that you can never truly become bored unless it's due to your own laziness. Log onto Habbo now for some innovative and safe fun!
