Sulake is an interactive entertainment company focused on online communities and multiplayer games.

Sulake’s main product, Habbo Hotel, is a unique online game environment for teenagers. It is a virtual place where teenagers can meet up to play games, decorate their rooms and organize their own competitions and quizzes.

The main attraction of Habbo Hotel is its community. Habbo Hotel provides a fun, rich and positive game environment, but it is the teens themselves who write the script. As ‘Habbos’ they create their own character, room and virtual world, by interacting and playing with others.

There are already 18 hotels around the world in five continents. Over 64 million Habbo characters have been created this far and over 5.8 million unique visit the site monthly. Sulake is now extending the Habbo brand to include an animation series, mobile games and content and merchandising products.

Sulake is headquartered in Finland, has offices in 19 countries, and employs 270 people worldwide. The investors in Sulake are 3i Group, Benchmark Capital, Finnish telecom company Elisa Group and advertising group Taivas.
