There are four free games available in the "Cunning Fox Gamehall", but the popular games, where users can earn rankings and win prizes, are members-only. Free users can play against others in Poker, Battleship, Chess and Tic Tac Toe-- and they're clearly lower-tier leavings. The clumsy interface tends to freeze during games, and you're never sure whether it's frozen or your opponent is simply taking his time to make a move-- that is, until they begin to complain. Seated at a game station across from another avatar, the game is played in a pop-up window-- and in a few instances, the game's title bar and peripherals were still in what I assume must be Finnish.
There's more to do-- decorate your home page (which is what habbo credits users will see when they click your avatar), buy furni to decorate your room, and read some of the journal-style Habbo stories in the newsletter-- but the hotel runs primarily on chat energy. You can leave Habbo Coins simply by closing the pop-up window in which it operates; you'll have to log back in when you want to return.
Overall, Habbo Coins could best be defined as a visual chat utility-- rather than screen names sitting in rooms with lines of scrolling text, you've got avatars hanging out with a broad array of actual 3D rooms to pick from. Instead of a MySpace or a home page, you've got an actual, personalized room of your own to invite chat buddies back to-- though habbohotel coins provides customizable profile web pages that serve a similar purpose, too.
