A Valentines room building competition
This Valentine’s Day, we’re asking you all to build the most romantic date room imaginable in Habbo Hotel: Origins.
Check below for the brief, how to enter, what we’ll be judging the competition on, and, of course, the prizes 🏆
📝 The competition brief
“Build a romantic date room” is understandably quite a broad brief. Because… What IS a date room? Where do people even have dates? Depending on the weather and where you are, dates can take place anywhere – the beach, in a noodle bar, at the cinema. Even a PIRATE SHIP (lol).
So, in this room building competition you have the opportunity to be extremely creative, and use all sorts of different furni in your inventory to create your own perfect date room.
📤 How to enter
- Name your room ‘Valentines Date Room 2025’.
- Take a screenshot, and if you want, a screen recording of your room. Make sure to include the FULL room in your screenshot so that the white text showing the room name and owner is visible in the bottom left hand corner.
- Upload it to a social media platform like X, or an image sharing site like Imgur. It’s vitally important that we (Origins Staff) can view the image without needing to create an account or log into a third party site 👍
- Put the link and your avatar name in this Google Form between now and 8am GMT (00:00 PST) on 10/02.
🧑⚖️ Judging
We’ll be judging the competition on your:
- Creative take on the brief. How will you make your room extra special and romantic? Where in the room will be the focal point where the two datees meet and spend the date together? (Datees isn’t a word but YOLO). How will you clearly portray to us, the team, that your entry is a date room without using any text or avatar speech to explain it?
- Innovative use of furni. Origins is still a pretty new game with a relatively small number of items available. Use this to your advantage by incorporating furni in innovative ways to make your room stand out from the rest.
- Technical skill. Stacking furni isn’t required, but it can often really help your room match specific themes.
🛑 Further information and rules:
- Please don’t include any speech or text to explain your entry. This is about building a room that is clearly a room in which a date is taking place, or could take place. A romantic one, at that!
- You can use avatars in your room build, but they cannot be talking.
- Scripting tools are not allowed. If you’re caught using scripting tools, you will be disqualified immediately. You may even be blacklisted in future competitions if you use scripting tools, so DO NOT RISK IT!
- If you’re worried about people stealing your build ideas, please upload the picture of your room to a file sharing site like Imgur instead of a social media profile. This makes it much harder to discover. Also, staff can enter your room regardless of whether or not it’s visible in the Navigator, or whether it’s locked or not. So keep it locked if you want to keep your ideas to yourself!
