  • Has more than three million members worldwide
  • Members prefer using the desktop version
  • Male members are almost twice the number of female members
  • Some minors use the site due to its virtual game nature
  • Members can refer others by sharing their QR or referral code

Having an extensive database of members sound great. You will have the chance of engaging conversation with more members. However, there are a lot of minor members around, so you have to be cautious about that. To be safe, always treat members with the most respect. This is to avoid being reported, either by a minor, his/her guardian, or even a legal aged player.

Since playing in the desktop is more convenient, most members prefer using this version instead of the app. Either way, you can still access your account, even if you change a device, using the username and password that you used to register.

Male members dominate the site, given the fact that males are more into computer games compared to females. But if you will look at the digits, 500,000 female members is not a small number anymore.

You can share your QR code or referral code to your friends to play and get together on this virtual hotel game.

How to Sign Up for Habbo

Habbo Register
  • You must be at least 18 years old to sign up
  • You can sign up using your username and password
  • You can sign up with Facebook, Google, Apple
  • You must sign up to browse Habbo

To sign up, visit the Habbo website or download the Habbo app. The app is available on iOS and Android. To complete the registration, provide all required information.

Required Information on Signup
  • Date Of Birth

Habbo offers the following methods to verify your account:

  • Verification email (required)

Habbo will send you a link to verify your email address. After that, you will be asked to enter the verification code they will send you to start using the site. 

Making Contact on Habbo

Habbo Chatroom
  • Sending chat messages is free
  • Everybody in the room can view your chat message
  • Have a private conversation with another member using the whisper feature
  • Some messages may contain inappropriate content
  • Discussion in Habbo rooms may be monitored

There are several ways on how you can communicate in Habbo. 

The first way is by chatting directly in the room where all the avatars there can read your message. Just type directly on the chatbox and press enter to send the message. A pop-up balloon will appear on above your avatar. You can also read the messages of other members on their own pop-up balloons.

Another way is by clicking on another avatar where you can see the following options: add friend, trade, whisper, give respect, ignore, report, and give hand item. Unlike other regular dating sites, you need to give extra effort into doing some work related to your date.  

The last and most private option is to send a message through Habbo Messenger. Just like regular social networking sites, it would let you send messages to your Habbo friends, whether they are online or offline. You will see if the other member has read the message. Multiple chats can be done at a time, but group chats and messages are not yet available.

It is easy and free to contact other members; however, they are not too responsive when it comes to instant messaging. Chatroom conversations are always a hit considering that the primary purpose of entering the room is to get involved in the discussions.

There are members who would post inappropriate messages to you or the chatroom. If you feel uncomfortable about it, don't hesitate to report it to the support team. Reporting is also your way of protecting other members who cannot speak out for themselves about the foul behaviour of another member.

Take note that Habbo staff may monitor conversations in a chatroom. So even if no one reports an inappropriate behaviour, Habbo may still sanction that member who doesn't follow the Habbo Way.

Habbo Profile Quality

Habbo Profile
  • Verify your email to protect your profile
  • Manage your profile information and privacy
  • Design your home and dress up your avatar
  • Flaunt your badges to give a good impression to other members
  • Invite other members to be on your relationship board

    The profile information in Habbo is not very detailed for security purposes. Not even a member's real name is shown on the site. 

    To be able to change your privacy preferences, verify your email to prove that you own the account. With this, Habbo can protect your profile from the fake ones, scammers or hackers.

    Buy your furniture, clothing, pets and a lot more virtual items from the catalogue. You can make your avatar experience the life that you wish to experience in real life.

    Badges are one of the first things people see when they visit your profile. The more badges you have, the more you can become attractive to other members.

    You can invite your real-life friends to join you in playing Habbo, then list them down on your relationship board. However, you can also invite your virtual friends to be on your board too.

    Habbo App

    Habbo App
    • Only 10% of the members prefer using the app version
    • Has better resolution than the computer version
    • Available for iOS and Android gadgets

    Habbo has an app version for mobile phones for members who are always on-the-go. It may not be as convenient to use as the desktop version, but it's graphics are a little less pixelated. As mentioned, only a small percent of the total population of Habbo uses the app.

    Download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play Store. In-app purchases can be made for credits.

    You will not receive notification from the app when the app is closed on the phone. Since it's a virtual game, all actions and updates are done once you're account is online.

    The app is on a landscape orientation, so you have to tilt your phone when using the app. The colours on the app are as vibrant as they are on desktop. 

    You can purchase items or credits directly using the app on your smartphone. Your network carrier may charge you on your plan, or credit it to your cards.

    Other features for the two versions are the same.
