Pixels are a second currency which you can earn and spend in Habbo. They're used to buy items which cannot be purchased with credits.

Pixels are earned for every level of achievement you attain as well as for spending time in Habbo, playing games or Guiding. You can also earn pixels by joining Habbo Club or using the Invite Friends feature.

Pixels can be spent on Special Effects, Rentals and Pixel Discounts. All these items can be found in the Pixel Shop in your catalogue.

These are items which can only be purchased with Pixels and which create an effect on your Habbo or in your guest room. These items have to be activated to see the effect. Once they are activated they will last a certain amount of time before disappearing. The life clock of these items keeps ticking even when the item is turned off, when it is in your hand or when you are offline. Rental items cannot be traded.

Pixel Discounts are a way to help you buy certain furni items with a mixture of credits and pixels. Discounted items do not disappear in the way Special Effects or Rentals do.

Your Pixel total can be found on your personal page when logging in to Habbo. If you are inside the Hotel, your Pixel total is displayed at the bottom of the Catalogue when opened.

Special Effects will work as you move around public or guest rooms. They don't work when you sit or lay down, play games, wear a swimming costume or go swimming. You cannot wave or dance whilst a Special Effect is turned on.


If you log out or get disconnected when a Special Effect is turned on, the Effect's timer will continue running even when offline.
