The Sacrificial Altar
Before he was discovered, Donnie Santini (aka The God of the Jungle) requested a new sacrifical altar to replace his old one. Seems that he accidentally broke it after eating one too many roasted sacrifical victims.
After much deliberation, the celebrated sacrificial altar designer is:
Mikairu's The Spooky Island
As a reward, you will not be eaten by the God of the Jungle, and you will also receive:
- 3 Gold Bars
- the Totem Head and Legs
- 3 months' Habbo Club membership
- 10 Habbo Points
However, because the God of the Jungle is generous - or quite possibly indecisive - we're also giving out an Honourable Mention prize, which goes to:
.:victormanuel:.'s The Sacrificial Altar
He'll be rewarded with:
- 1 Gold Bar
- 1 month's Habbo Club membership
- 5 Habbo Points

Room of the Week
Out of the many camping grounds that we received, we're quite happy with the selections this week. After all, sleeping on the ground can be quite uncomfortable, but we're happy to say that these rooms have been tried and tested and yes, all of them are quite comfortable. :)
Next week, we're calling on all Habbo room designers to create a room based on a store sale. It could be the Great Singapore Sale, or your favourite boutique's summer sale. Whether it's 10% of 50% off, there's nothing like a good shopping spree to stimulate the economy.
In the meantime, here are your ROTWs:
Habbo Name:
thetorpedo
Room Name:
Kyanpu Ground
Room Description:
After a long and tiring day exploring the thick jungle, I've found a place where I can make my camp and rest for the night. There aren't many trees so I have space to sleep, as well as cook a small meal.
Habbo Name:
PartyBox
Room Name:
Survivor Camp
Room Description:
After a day of walking through the forest, I've made my campground here. The small campfire cooks my freshly caught fish and scares away the dangerous animals that might come closer. And don't forget to bring your insect repellant when you're going through the forest! You definitely don't want to be eaten by the mosquitoes.
Habbo Name:
INf-skadii
Room Name:
Jungle Camping
Room Description:
Tired after a whole day of adventuring? Come on down to my special camping ground deep in the jungle. My campground is safe and quiet, and will allow you to get some rest before continuing on with your explorations the next day.
