Breaking News: WWE No Way Out on Habbo

I was just at Planet WWE, and at the top of the homepage was the following banner:



It looks like the WWE is doing another campaign with Habbo. As you can see from the banner, Habbo is having a 'Build the Best Elimination Chamber Room' competition. If you click the banner, it will take to you the Habbo No Way Out group page, which features WWE's No Way Out trailer, a Habbo-ized poster of Jeff Hardy, as well as Habbo-ized Superstars. There are Umaga (or U-Manga as William Regal would say), Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy that were used in the Habbo Royal Rumble. Looks like Chris Jericho and JBL have been added for No Way Out. Very Cute.

I looked at the Habbo.com news articles, but there was nothing posted about the competition, or prizing (In the Royal Rumble campaign, the Grand Prize was two tickets to Wrestlemania with airfare & accommodations). I don't think anything has officially been announced, but word seems to have gotten out. As I'm writing this there are already over 700 Habbos in the No Way Out Group.

If you recall, last month I wrote a few blurbs about the Habbo WWE Royal Rumble Campaign. Looks like this partnership may be a trend.

When I know more, you'll know more...



Oh, what's Habbo? From last month's press release:

About Habbo:

Habbo is a richly colorful, multi-dimensional virtual community and game environment for teens. Users join by creating a fully customized online character called a Habbo. From there, they can explore many public hang-outs, play a variety of games, connect with friends, decorate their own rooms, and have fun through creativity and self expression. Currently there are Habbo communities in 31 countries on five continents. To date, over 86 million Habbo characters have been created and 8.3 million unique users worldwide visit Habbo each month (source: Google Analytics). Habbo is operated by Sulake Corporation, a Finnish online entertainment company.
