These lengthy maps will take you and up to 5 of your friends throughout the Kingdom on a hunt to find Rainbow Treasure Chests. The contents of Rainbow Treasure Chests have been updated this year to contain more charms including Extreme Regal Charms.
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
−
Not interested in completing such a lengthy map? Rainbow Treasure Maps can be completed at any time by claiming a consolation prize for a portion of the Points, Gold, and Ancient Charms based on the number of mice captured.
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:
 +
*Golem Parts
 +
*Animated Snow

====Capturing Prize Mice====
+
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 13!'''</div></div>
−
Prize mice and other "bonus" encounters work slightly differently than a normal encounter to avoid these mice interfering with normal area progression. For example: Bonus encounters do not propel your submarine in the Sunken City, break streaks in the Warpath, affect positioning in the Valour Rift Gauntlet Tower, etc.
 
  
−
Prize mice and bonus encounters being exempt from area-specific gameplay also causes them to be exempt from area-specific or other "special" trap bonuses and effects. As a rule of thumb, any trap bonus you see under "special" in the Camp page trap selector will not apply during a bonus encounter with a prize mouse.
 
  
−
Good luck in the giveaway and happy hunting!
