Light Candles and soar into prosperity!

With the Horse Lantern claimed, you can begin lighting candles and reaping rewards!


When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! If you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles you'll find TRIPLE loot!


The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern Candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern Candle lit will raise it by two feet!


Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative, so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!


Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck! Be sure to check out the heads-up display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track including a new trap skin, Year of the Horse Journal Theme, and Red Lunar Lantern Candles.

The Lunar New Year event will end on February 24, 2026
