MouseHunt Birthday Dance Party!

04 March 2014

MouseHunt's Sixth Birthday is here, meaning it's time to celebrate!

Birthday Conga Dance Party!

MouseHunt turns SIX YEARS OLD on March 7 and the entire Kingdom is looking to celebrate! The King's construction crews have been hard at work constructing a dance hall, the perfect venue for a massive party!

Unfortunately, all the party supplies and decorations have been stolen by mice in the area. It looks like to get the celebration started, MouseHunters will need to do what they've done best for more than half a decade: HUNT MICE!

Visit the Dance Hall in Gnawnia to help recover the decorations and get the party started!

Gathering Party Supplies

The mice that have stolen the party supplies are all festive breeds, ready for a party. In order to attract these birthday bash mice, you'll need to supply yourself with Cupcake Colby Cheese. Fortunately, mice in the area are carrying potions to create Cupcake Colby. To gather potions, simply start hunting for loot at the Dance Hall. There is a wide variety of breeds at the Dance Hall. Try experimenting with different types of cheese to see what you can attract and what mice drop Cupcake Colby Potions!

Once you've collected enough Party Supplies to finish decorating the hall, you'll be ready to start the dance party!

Visit the Dance Hall ⇒ Gather Cupcake Colby ⇒ Use Colby to Gather Party Supplies ⇒ Decorate ⇒ Get the party started!

Hunting a Conga Line of Mice

The final and most important party commodity is the Disco Ball! This important item is being held by a mouse particularly interested in the expertise of dancing. Capturing this vermin will prove especially challenging due to a unique defense formation: a mouse conga line!

The dangerous dancer, known only as El Flamenco, is leading the front of a conga line, which is full of other birthday party mice, all congaing away from the hunters. Although it may look a bit silly, the conga line serves to protect each mouse participating in it, making only the mouse currently at the rear of the conga line vulnerable to capture. In order to reach and defeat this terpsichorean terror, this serial synchronizer, this precision performer at his own game, you'll have to hunt each mouse in the conga line in order of appearance, working your way to the front, then have a final dance-off with El Flamenco himself!

The Disco Ball is of such value that the shop keeper at the Dance Hall will sell you a new trap, as well as a variety of new trap skins, in exchange for a Disco Ball and some gold.

Forgotten Birthday Gift Trap

The Trapsmith at the Dance Hall quickly found a new source of trap design inspiration while watching the various dance competitions going on! The result: The Forgotten Art of Dance trap. This agile trap utilizes a droid specifically programmed with all the grace contained in forgotten and beauteous forms of dance. With a stealthy twirl and twist, the droid outmaneuvers forgotten mice, delivering a graceful capture.

Variety is the spice of dance! The Trapsmith has also assembled four unique trap skins for the dance trap. The trap, as well as the skins, can each be purchased in exchange for one Disco Ball and some gold in the Trapsmith's shoppe. Additionally, the skins can be directly purchased from the King in the premium shoppe.

Building the Ultimate Dance Hall

As you hunt through Conga Lines of mice, you'll continue to recover more stolen Party Supplies. You can continue to put your Party Supplies to use by constructing upgrades and additions to your Dance Hall!

Additions to your dance floor include: Chaperone Table, Dance Leaderboard, Buffet Table, Donkey Tail Pin-Board, and a rockin' Sound System! Those that are devoted to dance and manage to build ALL five upgrades will earn a Limited Edition First Place Dance Hall Trophy collectible to show they were masters of dance in 2014!

If you still have even more Party Supplies remaining, the shop keeper at the General Store will put together Birthday Goodie Bags in exchange for your excess supplies. Inside each Birthday Goodie Bag, you will find a few small treats to help you in your hunter endeavours.

Load up for Party Time with a Sugar Rush

Power Problems Loom

20 March 2014

Some hunters have reported strange findings involving the Dance Hall's power generator! Keep an eye out for clues in between dance moves...

Generator Power Surges

The generator supplying the Dance Hall with power has begun to spark and surge, sending copious quantities of an unknown energy down the powerlines and into the party. Despite their best efforts, the King's engineers are unable to determine the source of the energy. It almost seems as though the energy is from another world! The King needs your help to get to the bottom of the problem and determine if mice are to blame.

Exploded Lights Showing Up at the Dance Party

Shortly after the reports of strange energy being produced by the Dance Hall generator, several hunters reported coming across Exploded Lightshows as loot from mice at the Dance Hall. It's likely the explosions are due to the random power surges coming from the Dance Hall's generator. Adding to suspicions is that the exploded lights all seem to be quickly scooped up by mice, leading the King to suspect that the mice are trying to hide something.

Upon finding one of these Exploded Lightshows, be sure to closely examine the item for clues regarding what may be going on.

Strange Power Surges

• Search the Dance Hall for an Exploded Lightshow
• Examine looted lightshows for clues
• Get to the bottom of the mystery!
