June in Habcrush - Pride Month!

Hey Guys, Zack & I would like to introduce you to this months campaign, Pride Month, We did pride month last year but not to the extent, last year we only had 9 badges to collect, this year we’ve got a whopping 19 BADGES, yes you read that correctly NINTEEN badges to obtain, so lets get our pride flags out and READY!

Firstly, all the games can be found in our Official Games Hub

So let’s get into it!

The Rainbow Stealer

Step on the group gate to be teleported in

Stand on each rainbow star tile, bots will ask you what’s wrong, find the correct bot who’s stolen the rainbow by saying to the bot ‘’Are you the rainbow stealer?’’

Once you get to the 4th row, the prompt to ask the bots changes to ‘’Did you steal the rainbow?’’

Once you find the correct bots you’ll be teleported to win your badge!

Café Cœur Bouchon

Heartstopper has hit Habcrush! Able to read between the lines and use your intuition to make it to the end? In Café Cœur Bouchon, the Pride Decorations have gone missing, and it’s your job to find out who lost them! Throughout 3 rooms, you’ll need to piece evidence together and use it to help you progress on your journey. See below for hints on how to complete these rooms. You can also leave the café when entering the room to visit the streets of Paris, where you can find another limited edition badge.

The Storage Room

Your journey begins in a dark room, it’s the backend of the Café and full of clues. Click on EVERY sticky note, some don’t mean anything, but other sticky notes could be codes to help you proceed. Make sure you keep a note of everything and write it all down in a document. You’ll quickly notice that you’re boxed in by furniture on your entrance, maybe the sticky notes have some information to help you clear the path to get to your next clue at the computer, but what can that information be used for? Make sure you write it down. The facial recognition scanner at the door is your next challenge, I’m sure there’s something written down to help you bypass this, right? When you’ve made it though, make sure to have a look around, who knows which employee might have left things hiding around.. To leave this level and claim your first badge, you’ll need a code to leave the storage room. But what is it? Surely there’s something in the room to tell you which 4 digits it could be.

The Staff Room

To enter the next room, you’ll need to remember how to bypass facial recognition; when you get in, you’ll be in the team room, but there are motion detectors everywhere – only move when these cameras are off to avoid being sent back to the start of the room. Don’t forget the item you may have found in room one, you can read that in this room! There are clues hidden throughout the start of this room also, make sure you walk up to everything, a good place to look is the wall with the kitchen worktops. Over there, you’ll be given a code, and the location of where to input another one… Maybe the paper you find is telling you where to input the PIN? When you get the locker open, you’ll be given another code to decrypt, but how? Maybe use what information you learned on the napkin to help you figure out how to get into the manager’s office. When you’re in, you can make it over to the laptop – and we hope you’ve taken notes with you from Room 1, because you’ll need them to navigate through the computer! Each employee’s shift patterns can be found on the computer, using the knowledge you have about when the pride stuff was lost, you can deduce who was working on that day – these are your suspects! Before you leave the room, make sure to note down any information from the sticky notes, including who wrote what, and who may not have access to a specific room. You can leave the manager’s office by typing exitroom when the cameras are off!

The Kitchen

To access the kitchen, the code can be gathered by reading the reviews and the manager’s note which is hiding somewhere in the room, is it that sweet? I guess so! To continue, you need to learn about the staff, including who “the OG” is. To figure out who lost the pride decorations, you need to get some insider knowledge from the bots. Speak to Paula to start learning about each member of the café team. You’ll notice that Jacques doesn’t know about every member of the team, you can ask around about them, but if you come up empty in the kitchen, maybe there’s another bot that who will have answers? Go to Jacques when you find out all the information and say “I solved it”, you’ll move to the last section of the escape room where you need to answer questions proving you have the answers, make it to the end – and you’ve won! First to finish the escape room?

The Pride Dragon Game

In the Pride Gardens in Habcrush, 4 dragons need to be successfully moved to the yellow star at the opposite end of the garden maze. Use the wired arrow tiles to move your dragon from one end to the other. How to play? It’s simple! Walk to the flower patch next to the number ‘1’ to go to the first level; please note that only one person can be in a level at once, so if someone is in the level you’re trying to access, you won’t be able to teleport over. Use the arrow tiles to guide your dragon through the level; you can reset your dragon by walking on the red star. When your dragon is on the yellow star at the other end of the maze, you can walk on the green tile to teleport you to the following levels. When you finish level 4, you’ll be able to claim your limited edition rainbow dragon badge! 

Level 1 – A standard maze, no hidden surprises! 

Level 2 – You can only move your dragon when the flower lights are off 

Level 3 – Navigate the dragon through an ever-moving and changing maze 

Level 4 – Speed is of the element, because there’s rollers pushing you back!

The Info Bus

The legendary Infobus has made a pit stop at Habcrush, meet up with fellow players and keep an eye out for the queer icons scattered over the map. There’s a badge to be found in this room, too. Say to each bot “tell me about LGBT history”, the bots will respond and give you a letter, you need to unscramble these letters and take the word to Trixie Mattel in the bus; when you say this, you’ll get a limited edition Infobus Pride Badge!
