Throughout this site you'll find information normally discovered through gameplay. If you prefer to discover everything on your own, this site may affect your enjoyment of the game.
Welcome to the MouseHunt Wiki, where users contribute their knowledge of the MouseHunt world for the benefit of the community.
MouseHunt is a popular Facebook application in which players, referred to as hunters, catch mice with a variety of traps and cheeses in order to earn experience points and virtual gold through passive gameplay. From time to time the developers add new locations and mice as well as sponsor thousands of dollars for periodic giveaways and tournaments. MouseHunt was developed by HitGrab Inc. and released to a small group for beta testing in early 2008. On 7 March 2008, MouseHunt was officially released to the general public. Just nine months later, MouseHunt earned its creators a $250,000 development grant from Facebook and the game continues to grow in popularity.
This wiki exists to inform and to educate the community of MouseHunters and those who have an interest in the MouseHunt world and its intricacies.

Sneak Peek at MH Longtail
6 February 2010
Hello MouseHunters!
For the past couple of weeks we have been making mention of an update we're working on that we have code-named "Longtail". Longtail will update many of the interfaces within the game, as well as make MouseHunt faster and more robust, allowing us to develop content (mice, areas, traps, etc) quicker and easier.
Enthusiasm seems to be high within the community and so we thought we would share a couple of screenshots of the progress being made on this update to give everyone an idea about what's going on behind the scenes.
First up, the camp page gets an overhaul. Hunters will be able to switch their base, weapon or cheese via controls available under the image of their trap all without needing to reload a page.
Clicking a thumbnail below the trap image brings up the menu to select a new component
Component menu paginates, scrolling thumnails left/right
Clicking a thumbnail arms that component, without reloading the page

Second is a reorganization to the mice page. As the number of mice grew so did the lack of organization on the mouse page. We have grouped together the mice in a variety of ways to better organize them based on similar weaknesses as well as location.
Mice can be browsed by region or by group.
Mice are grouped together by power-type weaknesses
Still a work-in-progress is a sortable stats tab to quickly see what mouse you have caught the most of, etc.

Longtail is still a work in progress but its development is something we want to include the community in. As progress is made on Longtail we'll be reaching out for feedback via Feedback Friday sessions as well as videos on the application page.
That's all for now hunters, happy hunting!

Protect Your Personal Info
3 February 2010
Hey Hunters,
Just a heads up that we have recently seen a large increase in reports of account hijacking.
Remember to keep your Facebook login details secure and never share them with anyone.
Please take extreme caution when downloading anything MouseHunt or Facebook related. We have seen several programs circulating recently that claim to help you in MouseHunt but actually steal your user name and password.
Remember to always think twice before downloading, installing or using any third party software or website. If you're not sure if something is safe, it is probably best to avoid it.
Stay safe out there MouseHunters!

Forums and Safari Issues Resolved
29 January 2010
Hey Hunters!
Just a quick update to let everyone know that the problems with the discussion boards have been resolved. New threads are showing at the top once again.
Players who access the game via Safari on their iPhone or iPods will be delighted to know that the strange "white page" error is now gone and you'll be able to view Facebook applications on your iPhone/iPod normally once again. I know I was getting a little antsy not being able to sound my horn on the go!
Good luck in the hunt everyone!
