When you are in a room, type into the box at the bottom of the screen. Then press the return key (or 'enter') to speak.

If you want to whisper to your friend or shout, then select "whisper" or "shout" from the options on the left. If you are whispering, make sure you click on the Habbo you are whispering to, or they won't be able to hear you!

If you can't hear other people talking, it is probably because you are not close enough. You can only hear people who are in less than five squares away from you. This way, you can have a quiet conversation with your friends. Just like in real life, if you shout, everyone in room will hear you - so don't shout too much, it's rude!

If someone is outside the five square radius you will see chat bubbles with words replaced by dots. This means you can only hear bits of what other people are saying.

Changing your appearance is easy! Go to the Habbo homepage, log in and you will see your Habbo. Underneath, you will see a link called "Change looks". Just click on that, and style your Habbo how you want to!

You can also do this inside by game, by clicking on your Habbo and following the instructions!

To walk around, click on the floor tile you want to move to and wait. Your Habbo will walk over to it. To sit or lay down, click on the floor tile underneath the seat or bed you want to sit or lie on.

To dance, click on yourself and the dance button will appear under your Habbo on the right-hand side of the screen. Click on the button to get grooving, click it again to stop.

This is probably because you have been inactive for a while. If you do not move for five minutes your Habbo's eyes close, so that people know that you are not active.

After 15 minutes you are automatically returned to the Hotel View page.

To type a heart on your PC in Habbo, you need to hold down the Shift key and press the \ key. In Habbo, this should give you a little heart symbol.

This may not work on computers that don't run Windows.

NOTE: These only work on certain versions of the Windows operating system.

Hold the alt key down, and use your number pad (on the right-hand side of your keyboard). Here are some

There are many other combinations too. Search Google for alt key codes and you will find many comprehensive guides.

To wave, click on yourself and the wave button will appear under your Habbo on the right-hand side of the screen. Click on the button and your Habbo will begin waving to all your friends, click it again to stop.

Habbo doesn't employ Habbos.

Some Habbos offer jobs in their Guest rooms, but they may lie to you and say that they will pay you furni when they won't, our advise is don't work for another Habbo unless you are willing to do it for free. We won't be able to help you get "paid" if the other Habbo does not give you the furni.

Door blocking is when your Habbo character stands in the doorway and blocks other Habbos from entering the room.

A room owner is allowed to block their own room door, but any other Habbo caught blocking a door risks being kicked from the room, or banned from Habbo, so be careful where you stand!
