One creature was stirring, the Great Giftnapper Mouse.

He was spiteful and mean and as greedy as can be,
 
With an insatiable craving for more than just brie!
 
  
It was gifts that he wanted and certainly not to share,

He wanted them all for himself, not a one would he spare!

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
So he climbed down the chimneys of each house on the street,
 
Stealing all of their gifts, very sneaky and discrete.
 
  
He made off like a bandit, into the cold winter night,

So the residents would awake to an unfestive sight.
 
He left those poor houses all empty and bare,
 
Then hid himself away, no one quite knows where.
 
  
He travelled the kingdom, hiding every stolen gift,

From Queso Geyser all the way to Furoma Rift.
 
Without gifts, Gnawnia was turning dreary and glum,
 
Until lo and behold, the Festive Comet had come!
 
  
The Magical Snow Golems had returned just in time,

'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
 +
New Eggs and New Rewards!
  
Visit the Festive Comet where the snow is not only the perfect packing consistency to create snow golems, but also magically enchanted to bring those golems to life! Start by gathering some Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino Cheese and then arm it to attract a variety of mice that drop snow golem parts. Once you find a Snow Golem Head, Snow Golem Torso, and four Snow Golem Limbs you'll be able to construct a golem to send out on a gift and loot recovery mission!
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
 +
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
 +
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
  
Once sent out, your golems will return in '''25 hunts time''' not only with a bundle of loot from the areas you sent them to, but also with a stash of Recovered Gifts. Return these gifts to their rightful owners via the heads-up display and you'll find that they have left out a tray of M.I.L.K. and Cookies as a show of thanks for your part in playing Santa.
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
 +
Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
  
 +
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
  
That cool glass of Mechanically Invigorating Liquid Krypton is just what your golems crave! You can use the M.I.L.K. and Cookies to upgrade your golem generators to create stronger golems capable of bringing back more Recovered Gifts along with a greater quantity and quality of loot items!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
 +
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
 +
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
  
*'''100 Glazed Pecan Pecorino'''
+
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
:Gather more Golem Parts!
 
*'''Magical Winter Hunt Holiday Hat'''
 
:Adds 3 exceptional items to ANY golem
 
*'''Festive Summoning Bell'''
 
:INSTANTLY return a golem!
 
*'''15 Let It Snow Charms'''
 
:Start looting the MOST Golem Parts!
 
  
====Nabbing the Giftnapper====
+
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
  
Keep returning Recovered Gifts to the houses along your route and you'll eventually catch the Great Giftnapper red-handed! Each time you apprehend this stealthy swindler you'll recover a piece of Plain Wrapping Paper. Although unremarkable at first, this Plain Wrapping Paper can be crafted into more festive varieties via the heads-up display. By decorating your camp site with these festive wrapping papers you can attract similarly themed breeds of Great Winter Hunt event mice.
+
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
 +
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
  
 +
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
  
There are four varieties of festive wrapping paper to create and decorate your camp with, each attracting different mice that drop Festive Sugar Cookies! These sweet treats are a favourite of the various festive shop keepers and as such, they are offering some very special rewards in exchange for Sugar Cookies.
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
  
'''S.S. Scoundrel Sleigher Trap'''
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
  
Hydro trap with a chance to '''instantly''' capture pirate-themed mice!
+
You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting '''April 16, 2024''' when the M1000 will be activated in the '''Table of Contents'''!
  
'''Gift of the Day Base'''
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
Provides a chance for mice to drop the current gift of the day as loot.
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.</div>
  
'''S.L.A.C. in a Box'''
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
 +
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
  
Each hunt taken with the S.L.A.C. or S.L.A.C. II winds up this toy box which in turn provides power and luck bonuses to the S.L.A.C. and S.L.A.C. II traps.
+
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will ''always'' drop Chocolatonium when caught.
  
'''Elixir Exchanger Base'''
+
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
  
Converts Gauntlet Elixir in your inventory into Tower Sigils. Works anywhere in the Kingdom.
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
 +
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
 +
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
  
====Other Winter Festivities====
+
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
Fortunately, the Great Giftnapper's mischief hasn't dampened the festive celebrations in Gnawnia so get in the holiday spirit with these wintry activities!
 
  
Snowball Showdown
+
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!
  
Everyone's favourite snowball fight! You'll find Throwable Snowballs as loot drops while hunting at the Festive Comet. Your golems also return with Throwable Snowballs once they reach level four. Toss some snow to reveal shapes and earn prizes!

During the Great Winter Hunt you can visit friends' profiles to leave gifts under their festive tree which they'll be able to open during the Grand Gift Opening Ceremony on '''Wednesday, December 23'''! Keep in mind that after the gift opening ceremony begins you'll '''no longer be able to send gifts''', so don't delay, gift today!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 150%;">'''''IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:'''''</div>
 +
Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.
  
Make sure to check your own Hunter Profile where you'll find at least three gifts: One from Larry, one from Ronza, and one from the King himself! These gifts, just like the ones given by friends, can be opened on December 23.
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 16''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
  
'''This year's Gift Opening Ceremony is on Wednesday, December 23'''.
+
As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.
Gifts can no longer be sent after the ceremony begins.
 
  
Naughty and Nice Lists
+
As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
  
Take playing Santa to the next level by completing Naughty and Nice List Treasure Maps. These unique lists of mice will have you track down Great Winter Hunt mice in search of Treasure Chests! The chests contain goodies to help you in your festive hunting endeavors and can even contain an Advent Chocolate. Using Rare Map Dust will result in a rare chest which '''always''' contains at least one Advent Chocolate!
+
Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!</div>
  
'''Nice Lists''' are not as difficult and less rewarding. You and your map mates will have to track down a variety of event mice, but none that require HUD decorations. These are great when first getting started.
+
==== Get News on Future Events! ====
 +
Want to keep up-to-date on all the exciting events and expansions coming in 2024? If you haven't already, make sure to sign up for the MouseHunt newsletter. You'll get notified of events as they start and most newsletters also include a special gift from Larry the Friendly Knight!
  
'''Naughty Lists''' are more difficult but also more rewarding! To complete these maps you'll potentially need to have unlocked all the unique HUD decorations by capturing the Great Giftnapper several times.

Upon receiving a parcel, open it to either find an item or another wrapped gift that must be forwarded to another friend. The charms inside the Passing Parcel have been given a refresh and include varieties of Snowball Charms, Rift Charms, and Winter Charms, just to name a few.
 
 
 
Winter Aura
 
 
 
Each time a Snow Golem returns it will extend the duration of the Winter Aura. This festive enchantment adds +5 Luck to your trap and gives mice a chance to drop a variety of festive loot items, including Winter Hunt Gift Boxes depending on your Hunter Title. Looking for lower-tier gift boxes? Carefully use the Hunter's Hammer to crush the box into a lower tier and just hope there wasn't anything fragile inside!

====[[Advent Calendar]]: A Winter Hunt Tradition!====
 
 
 
The Great Winter Hunt is just around the corner and in what has become a Gnawnian tradition, the Winter Hunt Advent Calendar will return on December 1. Every day from December 1 to December 24, hunters can open a new door on the Advent Calendar to reveal a tasty Advent Chocolate as well as a unique bonus item if they open the door on the same day!
 
 
 
Opening a door on the Advent Calendar will '''always''' reward an Advent Chocolate which you will be able to exchange during the Great Winter Hunt for festive-themed trap skins, journal themes, and more.
 
 
 
If you open a door on the same day that it unlocks, you'll also find a bonus reward alongside your chocolate! You'll find a wide variety of items as bonus rewards including SUPER|brie+, Wild Tonic, Rare Map Dust, and powerful charms, just to name a few. There truly is something for everyone, so make sure to check in each day from December 1 to December 24 to see what bonus item the Advent Calendar has to offer!
 
 
 
When the time comes, a banner will appear in the camp section if you have a reward to claim from the Advent Calendar. You'll find the banner above your journal if playing from a web browser or at the bottom of the camp section if playing from the mobile app.
 
 
 
Each new Gnawnian Day occurs at midnight UTC.
 
 
 
====Relic Hunter Promotion Ending Soon====
 
The various Relic Hunter Promotions in the Premium Shop will come to an '''end on December 1'''. There's little time left to take advantage of these great deals, including '''Gilded Scavenger Maps''' and '''$1 Rare Map Dust!'''

====Upcoming Great Winter Hunt====
 
That brisk wind blowing from the North has the distinct fresh scent of holiday cheer which can only mean one thing: The Great Winter Hunt is nearly here! Although as often is the case, the news is not being celebrated by several "humbug" mice. Reports have already come in from around the Kingdom of gift wrapping supplies being stolen and other holiday hijinks. One early theory points to a particular mouse bent on keeping every gift for themselves by stashing them away in hidden hidey-holes throughout the Kingdom!
 
 
 
As reports of gift theft continue to rise, the King will no doubt soon need the help of hunters (and some magical Snow Golems) to track down this thief and return the stolen gifts to their rightful owners.
 
 
 
Check back on December 1 to open the first door of the Advent Calendar!

THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!

19 March 2024

Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!
New Eggs and New Rewards!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

An Eggstra Important Note

The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!

Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

The Journey for the M1000 has begun!

Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case.

Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on April 16, 2024.

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.

Completing the M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese!

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting April 16, 2024 when the M1000 will be activated in the Table of Contents!

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming School of Sorcery as well as a powerful new aura: the Millenniaura!

The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!

The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

New Year, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

HOW TO PLAY: There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

As of April 16, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of April 23, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of April 30, The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
