Backgrounds

What are Backgrounds?[]

Backgrounds are optional scenery that can be placed behind player avatars. They have no in-game effect and exist only for aesthetic value. As of March 28, 2017, the violet background from the Plain Background Set is the default background, replacing the previous featureless light slate color.

The complete gallery of backgrounds is available below, along with instructions on how to acquire and select them. However, there are two additional things you can do with backgrounds that some players may enjoy.

Background options

Tiled background raging river — A tiled background

First, if you are in a party you may choose to work with other party members to have the same background, so it creates a "tiling" effect when viewed in the party screen. Some backgrounds are better at creating a continuous effect than others, so most entries in the Gallery of purchasable backgrounds also show the tiled version.

Second, if you prefer absolute simplicity, it's also possible to choose to have a "transparent" or nonexistent background, which is to say nothing behind the avatar except the color of the page (currently purple when viewed in the header or white then viewed in a user profile). To use the "transparent" background, simply click on any background to use it, then click it once more to remove it.

Backgrounds menu[]

User Menu Backgrounds — "Backgrounds" is the third option under the User Icon

To view available backgrounds and to change the current background, the most direct way is to click the User Icon, then choose Customize Avatar, then click on the "Backgrounds" tab in the menu that pops up.

Things you can do in this menu include:

Changing backgrounds: Clicking once on a purchased background will set it as the current background. Activating the "Hide Locked Backgrounds" option (), located just above the list of backgrounds, changes the screen so that only backgrounds that have already been purchased are visible.

Removing backgrounds: Clicking once on the equipped background will remove it, leaving the avatar with a "transparent background". Clicking on any non-equipped but purchased background twice (once to equip it, once to remove it) should have the same effect, but if it doesn't just close the backgrounds menu, re-open it, and click again on that background.

Buying backgrounds: Clicking once on an unpurchased background will make a purchase prompt pop up, with options to either continue with the purchase or cancel it.

Pinning backgrounds: Hovering over the background and then clicking the pin icon once it appears centered on the top of the background will "pin" that background to the rewards column. The pin icon will turn purple and remain visible even when not hovering, and the background will be purchasable directly from your rewards column without going into the Backgrounds menu.

In the apps, backgrounds are located under Menu > Customize Avatar (iOS) or Menu > Avatar (Android).

Background types[]

There are four types of backgrounds, and each can be gotten in a different way. Backgrounds do not expire, and three of the four remain permanently available after release whether or not they are purchased.

The plain background set consists of six very simple backgrounds, each consisting of two shades of the same color.

The first one, Violet, is automatically granted to all players as soon as they start playing. The other five are part of the Daily Check-In Incentives, and are unlocked once a player has completed their second day.

To celebrate Habitica's 10th Birthday Bash, players were given a number of gifts including the Birthday Bash background. Thus far it is the only limited-edition background ever released, and it is now retired.

Animated backgrounds are very rare. As of March 2022 there are only three, all with a Steampunk theme.

Each one costs one Mystic Hourglass, and they can be purchased either via the Time Travellers Shop. There is no way to buy them all as a set.

Monthly backgrounds are the most common, and most diverse. Prior to June 2024 three new backgrounds were released each month, and since then it has been one per month. They are often, but definitely not always, related to the month it is released. (For example, hearts in February, or a picnic setting during a summer month.)

They can be purchased in the same menu you would use to change the background, described above. Each set can be bought for 15 Gems (), or individuals from the set can be purchased for 7 Gems. Once one is bought on its own, it is no longer possible to get the discount for purchasing the set.

Galleries[]

Gallery of free backgrounds[]

As mentioned above, the violet background from the Plain Background Set is the default background. The rest of the Plain Background Set is unlocked after a player logs in to Habitica for two days.

Gallery of purchasable backgrounds[]

Currently available monthly backgrounds[]

As of June 2024, monthly backgrounds are no longer permanently available. Instead there are two month's worth available at a time, changing out on the 7th. You can look up the details of a given background in the list of all purchasable backgrounds below this gallery -- it's in reverse chronological order.

The currently available backgrounds are from May & November
