Casper Launcher
As the years progress, so do the technologies powering our web experiences. Shockwave and Flash, once popular browser plugins, have been deprecated in most modern browsers.
In response to this shift, a dedicated portable launcher has been developed. This launcher is specifically designed to run Shockwave and Flash-based versions of Habbo, ensuring that users can still enjoy the classic game despite the obsolescence of the original plugins.
How does it work?
The launcher is a simple application witten in C++ that sends a login request to our server and then loads the client.
The launcher operates with Wine, on both macOS and Linux. A portable wrapper is available for macOS, you only have to download the .zip file and run the app in order to play. No installation is required for this method.

Why should I use Shockwave?
As of right now there are multiple ways to access the hotel, through the Casper Launcher or through a Shockwave on a web browser like Basilisk or PaleMoon
If you're here for a nostalgia hit then we recommend the hotel in Shockwave to get the full experience.
The features that Shockwave contains which are not present in modern Flash hotels are listed below.
BattleBall, Diving, Wobble Squabble, Trax Machines, Jukeboxes, American Idol, Tic Tac Toe, Chess, Battleships, Poker and some nostalgic Habbo components such as the hand and the Room-o-Matic.
