The Perfect Movie Set competition

🎬 Do you dream in wide angles and dramatic close-ups?

Is your Habbo room less “hotel lobby” and more Habbowood MASTERPIECE? Then it’s time to roll the cameras and enter the Perfect Movie Set Room Competition! Lights, camera… this is your time to shine!!

📝 The Brief

Create a room that depicts a Habbowood movie set.

📤 How to enter

• Name your room ‘My Habbowood Set 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, your avatar name and the name of your movie in this Google Form between now and 8am GMT (00:00 PST) on 26/05.

🧑‍⚖️ Judging

We’ll be judging the competition on your:

• The room should clearly convey a movie set, not just a scene from a film. It needs to feel like a place where a movie is actively being recorded. Importantly, leave enough room in the layout to realistically accommodate a film crew, cameras, and other production elements. The goal is to make it obvious that this is a behind-the-scenes movie set, not just a cinematic moment. To help communicate this, consider incorporating backstage-style furni such as:
  • Cameras and lighting rigs
  • Refreshment or makeup areas
  • Space for crew and equipment
• Creative take on the brief. Be creative in your approach – think about the type of movie your set is for and design around that theme. Whether it’s a sci-fi blockbuster, a romantic drama, or an action-packed adventure, your choices in furni, layout, and atmosphere should really help to bring the production to life.
• Innovative use of furni. Origins has a relatively small number of items available to build with. Use this to your advantage by incorporating furni in innovative ways to make your room stand out from the rest.
• Technical skill. Stacking and combining furni isn’t required, but it can really help bring your theme to life and add extra depth to your room design.

🛑 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 movie is being shot.
• 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!
