HELSINKI – [AUGUST 1, 2025] – In an internet culture where most online games don’t survive the decade mark, Habbo is turning 25 – and it’s not just still online, it’s thriving.
One of the original virtual communities, Habbo is celebrating its silver anniversary with a month-long event designed to delight both old-school fans and curious newcomers.
Throughout August, Habbo’s #Habbo25 event will deliver a mix of nostalgic throwbacks, community celebrations, and all-new features – from classic room-building and Collectibles to wearable tech and giveaways hosted on TikTok, Instagram, and X.
“Habbo turning 25 is a huge moment for us,” said Mika Timonen, Product Director at Habbo. “Very few online communities make it this far, and even fewer stay this active. What’s kept Habbo going all these years is the passion and creativity of our players. This anniversary is as much a celebration of them as it is of the game itself.”
A Legacy Reimagined: Key Highlights from #Habbo25
The Return of the Furni-Matic
Back by popular demand, the classic recycling machine lets players trade unwanted furniture (or “furni”) for a chance at rare new rewards. Alongside it, a brand-new system called the Collecti-Matic introduces exclusive drops for Habbo Collectibles – a blockchain-powered set of features that have reinvigorated the economy for long-time collectors.
Loyalty Crowns for 15, 20 & 25-Year Veterans
To honor long-term players, Habbo is releasing exclusive anniversary crowns tied to account age. Some users have been logging in since the early 2000s, and they’ll now get the recognition they deserve.
Player-Made Public Night)
Created by a long-time Habbo player, this public hangout space uses advanced in-game logic (“Wired” furni) to shift from sun-soaked day to neon-lit night – highlighting the creativity tools available to players today.
Classic Games Return with New Quests
Fan-favorite games from Habbo’s past make a comeback, now integrated with limited-time quests that reward players with in-game currency to unlock exclusive event items.
First-Ever Animated Clothing Items
Yes, you read that right: animated fashion is now a thing in Habbo. Players can equip wearables like a floating balloon hat, adding new flair to their pixel-perfect avatars.
The OG Throne Reimagined
The legendary Throne, a status item for early-2000s players, is returning in a bold new black and gold colorway – and it’s just one of several nostalgic rares appearing during the event.
Social Media Giveaways
Two exclusive in-game items will only be available via social media giveaways hosted with creators across TikTok, X, and Instagram. These highly collectable pieces won’t be sold in-game.
Live Parties Across All Hotels
Staff-hosted live events will take place throughout August across Habbo’s nine regional communities – from the US and Brazil to Germany, Spain, Finland, and beyond.
Still Innovating at 25
While Habbo remains true to its pixel-art roots, the game has continued to evolve. Recent updates include the introduction of Habbo Collectibles, allowing players to own and trade digital items on the blockchain, and the launch of Relics, a system that lets long-time players convert classic rare items into collectible, authenticated versions. With Habbo experience and modern features pushing the platform forward, Habbo remains one of the few virtual worlds to successfully bridge two gaming generations.
