Habbo, also called Habbo Hotel, is a virtual world[1] and massively multiplayer online game. It is owned and operated by Sulake. Founded in 2000, Habbo has expanded to nine online communities (or "hotels"), with users from more than 150 countries. As of October 2020[update], 316 million avatars have been registered in the game.[2]
The website is divided into three clients, Habbo, Habbo X, and Habbo Hotel: Origins. The Habbo client is aimed at teenagers and young adults, while Habbo X and Habbo Hotel: Origins cater for adult players.
Users on the game can create a virtual avatar (called a "Habbo"), converse and interact with other users, play games, build and design virtual rooms, take care of virtual pets, and complete quests.[3]
