Lost Monkey launched!

I’m happy to tell you, that we just launched our very first mobile game, Lost Monkey! The app is available to download for free from today, worldwide from the Apple AppStore.

The game follows a mischievous monkey that has lost its way from Habbo Hotel after entering a broken teleport, and ended up alone and stranded on a tropical island.  Players must take care of the monkey, entertaining it with mini-games and help it build a teleporter so that it can return to Habbo Hotel.  On completion of the game, players are rewarded with the pet monkey in Habbo Hotel. To check out the monkey, you can visit the Lost Monkey space in Habbo.

To find out more about teen mobile habits, we recently surveyed nearly 29,000 teens in Habbo related to mobile usage. According to the results, 89% of respondents have a mobile phone and 51% had a portable media player such as an iPod Touch.

Playing games is an integral part of mobile usage for teens with 78% of those surveyed who own an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch using it for gaming, the second most popular activity after playing music.  94% of those that own an iPhone or iPod Touch prefer to download gaming applications above any other type of app, with those in France, UK, US and Denmark more avid gamers than those in other countries. 

We have carefully built Lost Monkey with teens in mind. When asked what they look for in an app, 75% of teens wanted something which was fun to play and 47% wanted the app to have controls, which are simple and easy to use.  Teens also wanted an app which was easy to learn how to use (44%).  All of these elements have been built into Lost Monkey for the optimum user experience.
