Santa’s work was going smoothly and Mr. Jinch was having fun with all his pranks, but suddenly there was an unexpected turn of events in Hello Kitty Online!

Humbug, Mr. Jinch’s pet Beetil, has decided to cause some trouble of his own. The little bug has taken over the holidays by running across all the cities and stealing gifts and treats from everyone – including Santa and Mr. Jinch! These goodies were meant to be given to all adventurers, so go take them back to save the Holidays!

Where are they?

Humbug played around with Mr. Jinch’s secret stash of magic dust, and used it to steal Giant Gift Boxes, which are hidden and scattered in different maps. There’s only one way to make the Giant Gift Boxes reappear: gather together at the right time and place!

‘Tis the season for celebrations! The streets of Hello Kitty Online are adorned with festive decorations, the holiday spirit is in the air, and everyone is busy preparing for the big day. From December 18 to December 28, 2009, players of Hello Kitty Online from all over the world can get together with their friends to enjoy a very special in-game event celebrating the holiday season

 

 

Are you ready? It’s time for Hello Kitty’s Holiday Capers & Celebrations!

Special holiday quests – which side will you choose?
Who better to spread the holiday cheer than Santa himself? With the big celebration fast approaching, Santa can use all the help he can get, so visit him at Sanrio Harbour and lend him a hand. Even though the warm fuzzy feeling of assisting Santa is reward in itself, he will also give you something for helping him!

While Santa and his helpers are busy, someone is stirring up trouble! He goes by the name of Mr. Jinch, and he’s looking for people willing to help him pull off his pranks. If you’re feeling a little mischievous, find Mr. Jinch in Sanrio Harbour to see if you have what it takes to be a trickster just like him!

New quests for both sides will be released on a daily basis, and you must choose to help either Santa or Mr. Jinch, but not both. Once you have chosen your side there’s no turning back, so choose wisely!

 

 

During the global Founders’ Beta stage of Hello Kitty Online, a guild-based event called "Food for Friends" was held to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Food for Friends gave players an opportunity to give for a good cause through their in-game efforts, and the event proved to be a major success. And now, for this year’s Holiday Season, HKO celebrates the spirit of giving by bringing back this event for another round!

 

Watch this space for updates on how you and your guildmates can participate in this very special event!

Sanrio Digital recently received an unexpected surprise from the children who received the bags and shirts you selflessly worked for during our Helping Hearts charity event. Of course, none of this would have been possible without you, our dear players, so now we'd like to share with you a few scanned images of the thank you cards we received from the Po Leung Kuk residential child care unit.

We’d like to congratulate and thank everyone who participated in the Helping Hearts special charity event. Each item you crafted and donated is deeply appreciated, and we would like to take this time to recognize all our donors for their generous contributions.

Below are the final contest results. Winners were calculated by item value, which was proportional to the difficulty of the item.

During Happy Hearts, we had a series of quests that gave players a chance to find Cupid, save Valentine's Day, and win their very own plush doll from Sanrio's "The World of Hello Kitty" collection. Many raced to be among the first five to finish the quests, and now without further ado, here are your winners!
