Get Your Game On

Show us how YOU make a game in Habbo!
That's right Habbos...we're looking for those few genius developers who chose to make games in Habbo. Using Wired and other furniture in perfect tune, creating a masterful, easy to play and addictive game experience. We know you're out there! But who are these game devs you ask? Of course, they're Habbos...just like you!
Show Off Your Game
You've got the tools and the talent! There's plenty of items to choose from in the Wiredsection of the Catalog to help you make a game everyone could enjoy. Be it a maze, race or recreation of an existing console or retro game...and using my best Rob Schneider impression, 'You can du eeet!'
1) Create a functional game room using Habbo furni or Wired furni
2) Include the room name, screenshot and directions on how to play your game
3) Make sure it's easy to follow and plays like a game. It needs to have an objective, a start and a finish.
4) Send it to competitions.com@sulake.com with your Habbo name and subject line, 'My Habbo Game' by Monday, March 28th.
We'll be rewarding the top 15 game rooms a Game Designer Badge, a select spot on the Staff Picks section of the Navigator, and 5 Flatscreen TV furni items!

Still Not Merged?


This will be your last chance to import any lingering Habbo accounts!
It's closing in on a year since we all merged in together under the same big roof over here at Habbo.COM -- and during the latest head count, we found that only a few Habbos have yet to be moved over from their previous Hotels.
This means that the moving process is pretty much done and we are ready to close it completely on March 30th!
SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
* If you have registered right here on Habbo.Com (and maybe you don't even know what we're talking about right now) - no need to do anything at all, all is good! :)
* If you already merged your accounts, same thing, you got nothing to worry about!
This is meant for those of you that used to play on Habbo.CA, Habbo.CO.UK, Habbo.COM.SG or Habbo.COM.AU, but haven't moved over all your characters yet:
* If you still have unmerged Habbo characters from any of those sites, go to site you used to play on, click the button that says "Activate my existing account", and follow the instructions. It's easy!
* The merge process will be completely turned off on March 30th. After that you will no longer be able to import any accounts from the old Habbo sites and any Furni or rooms on these accounts will be lost!
If you have any friends who haven't made the jump over, please let them know about this!

WTF(riday)?

Get your questions answered by the Habbo Staff!
WTF(riday)? gives you the opportunity to get your questions answered! Get to know the Hotel Managers better by shooting your queries in their direction (Habbo related or not). Who's their celeb crush? Favorite color? How much wood does a Woodchuck chuck?... you get the gist.
Every Friday Puffin, SmoothCriminal and Fozzie will pick a handful of questions to answer and the lucky winners will score the week's hottest prize. That's right, we're shaking things up a little by handing out a different prize every week!

Last Week’s Winners
Well done to the Habbos listed below! You've each scored a Complete Black Limo Pack! When more than one Habbo sends in the same question, the staff will pick the one they’re going to answer randomly.

If you could create a hybrid animal (a mixture of two animals) what would they be and what would you call it? Sent in by !madzystar!
Puffin: Bunnysaurus. A gigantic fluffy dinosaur rabbit.
SmoothCriminal: Oh this is easy. A Shark...and...A SHARK! It's got a head on both sides of it's body, unstoppable! I'd call it, Doushark.
Fozzie: A Do-at. A mixture of a dog and a cat. That way I wouldn't never have to choose between being a dog or a cat person :D

How do you think people found out about milking cows? And what were they exactly doing in that area? Sent in by AllAmerican!
SmoothCriminal: This is the same type of logic that makes me wonder how on earth did someone eventually come to eat something like an Egg. I'd honestly rather not know the morbid curiosity that came over them, but thank goodness because that stuff is tasty!
Fozzie: Hahaha! I don't know! But I do know that I'd have to be really, really, REALLY thirsty to be first to give that a go!
Puffin: Desperate times call for desperate measures?! I refrain from elaborating on what those times were exactly.. Let's just say, I like the fact that my milk comes from plastic bags (yes, I live in Canada after all) at the grocery store.

If you were a Smartie, which color would you be and why? Sent in by CoolChick1238
Fozzie: I like the blue ones... I'd like to state that my answer has nothing to do with losing this week's bet and SmoothCriminal did not put me up to this.
Puffin: I always preferred the red ones. Must be my fiery personality :P
SmoothCriminal: Red. It's the best. Deal with it!

What do you wish you had more of? Sent in by teffy
Puffin: Free time! Oh holidays.... so few and far between!
SmoothCriminal: Mutant powers. Currently, I'm at zero.
Fozzie: Money! I could do so much awesome stuff if I just had more moolah!

Puffin's Question - What was the most exciting part of your recent holiday? Sent in by rayrayhammy1
Oh where to start! I think palatial surroundings and the gorgeous beaches aside, the private airplane flight to take in the estate from above was the most fun I've had in a while! We even did some air-acrobatics and no I didn't puke ;)

SmoothCriminal's Question - Welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order? Sent in by Muffydabeast
'Yea, uh...I saw a commercial for your Chicken Nuggets advertised as, "Now with more REAL chicken!", can I get that in a combo?'

Fozzie’s Question - Fill in the blank. Nothing attracts a crowd like a _____ . Sent in by Frave
Person that is either:
A. Hurt
B. Naked
C. Getting arrested 

The next prize up for grabs is a Large Waasa Sailing Ship! Comp form closes Monday March 21st, 7am EST (that's 7pm in Singapore, 10pm in Sydney, 4am in Los Angeles and 11am in London!)
