Habbo Origins turns two, and we're celebrating it with a present hunt! Just like last year's anniversary, there are anniversary balloons up for grabs, but the way you earn them, and the rewards you get, have changed. Here's everything you need to know.
When the event happens
Every 30 minutes, on the hour (:00) and half-hour (:30), gifts are scattered across all public rooms. They will keep dropping for 5 minutes, giving you plenty of time to grab lots!
How to open gifts
- Grab a hammer. When a gift cycle starts, hammers will appear on the floors of the public rooms. Double-click a hammer to pick it up. One hammer will last you the full 5-minute cycle.
- Stand next to a gift. You can only open a gift while standing on a tile directly beside it.
- Smash it open! Double-click the gift to break it with your hammer and claim what's inside.
Good to know: Gifts are client-specific, so the ones you see are yours alone and there's no need to race anyone. You can collect them at your own pace, but not too slow: each gift vanishes after roughly 30 seconds.
The rewards
Gifts contain a wide variety of rewards, from useful to funny!
Boosts and effects
| Reward | Effect | |
 |
Angler's Scroll | Instant fishing XP boost when redeemed |
 |
Gardener's Scroll | Instant gardening XP boost when redeemed |
 |
Bloombrew Tonic | +10% gardening XP for 10 minutes |
 |
Tidecall Tonic | +10% fishing XP for 5 minutes |
 |
Whisker Wink | Transform into a cat for 5 minutes |
 |
Bark in a Bottle | Transform into a dog for 5 minutes |
About the scrolls: The XP you get from the Angler's and Gardener's Scrolls scales with your skill level. For example, at fishing level 68 the Angler's Scroll grants a 680 XP boost, and at gardening level 99 the Gardener's Scroll grants a 990 XP boost.
Pro tip: Save your Tidecall Tonic for a Fishing Frenzy. Every fish you reel during a frenzy comes up gold, and gold fish are worth more XP. That means your +10% boost is applied to bigger numbers, so you get the most out of it!
On stacking: The boost effect doesn't stack. Using two of the same tonic at once still only gives you +10%, not +20%. The timer however does refresh though, so you can chain tonics to keep a boost running longer instead of letting it run out. Nice for a 10 minute fishing frenzy!
Map fragments
Map fragments are back! There are 24 fragments in total, numbered 0 through 23 (and yes, you'll pick up duplicates). Collect the full set of fragments to unlock your reward: the 2nd Anniversary Balloon!
Open it up and you'll get one of the many classic Habbo rares, reimagined as balloons! Nellies, parasols, dragons, and even the super rare typewriter.
Finding and trading fragments:
- Your treasure map can be found in your backpack, which you'll find as an icon under your Habbo settings.
- To trade your fragments, enter a trade room, open your treasure map, and click the Habbo you want to trade with.
- You'll collect plenty of duplicate fragments, which is exactly why trading helps! Swap your spares to quickly fill in your missing numbers.
Good to know
- The 2nd Anniversary Balloon itself is not tradeable, but the balloon rare inside is, once you open it.
- You can complete the map by yourself, but trading with others makes it much faster.
- You can complete the map as many times as you'd like on your own account, earning an Anniversary Balloon each time.
- After completing the map more than once, reload the game so that the map resets and your reward registers.
The Great Present Hunt is part of a month-long celebration of Origins' 2nd Anniversary, so there's no rush to collect it all in one sitting. Happy smashing!
