Habbo

Habbo, formerly known as Habbo Hotel, is one of the early pioneers of interactive social networking. Players create unique avatars using Habbo’s detailed character customization options and enter the game world with their very own room in hotel. Every day players receive a new piece of furniture but if they want more, they’ll have to purchase it either with ‘pixels’ or ‘coins.’ Pixels are the standard currency while coins require real cash to acquire. Besides player run rooms, there are over a dozen public areas in the hotel including a lobby, several cafes with different themes, a library, gardens, and other rooms to chat in. There are two free to play multiplayer mini games to play, SnowStorm and Battle, but players will likely spend most of their time making friends and hanging out in each other’s rooms.
