| − | <p>Hunters are no doubt excited to do some Halloween hunting! If you have not been trick-or-treating yet, make sure to visit a friend's hunter profile and see if they've chosen to treat, or trick you! The new Halloween area is packed with eager hunters, making the mice very scared this Halloween season!</p>

| − | <p>Many hunters have already explored their way through the Haunted Terrortories and defeated the insane Gourdborg Mouse! Congratulations to those who have found their Evil Pumpkin Seed and good luck to those still hunting!</p>

| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>Attention all MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>An insane mouse has proclaimed itself to be the King of Halloween and has setup a spooky obstacle to protect itself from hunters! The King needs your help to explore this new haunted area and track down the pesky mouse at the heart of it all!</p>
| + | ==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ==== |
| | + | It's time to party down during a one week mapping extravaganza known as the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>In order to fully explore the Haunted Terrortories of Gnawnia, you'll need plenty of Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. You can collect these two new types of cheese by visiting up to 10 of your friends' hunter profiles a day to go Trick-or-Treating. Just click the "Trick-or-Treat" button to discover if your friend decided to trick, or treat you! You'll receive Ghoulgonzola for a trick, and Candy Corn Cheese for a treat. You can also collect both of these flavours of cheese by hunting mutated or Hollowhead mice at the Haunted Terrortories.</p>
| + | For the next week, Treasure Maps will accommodate '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>During the Halloween event Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese carry a very high attraction rate in not only the Haunted Terrortories, but many other hunting locations in the Kingdom. Their ability to attract mice is closely tied to the magic of the Haunted Terroroties, meaning they will be slightly less powerful when the Halloween event ends.</p>
| + | This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>When you arrive at the Haunted Terrortories you'll notice two new progress bars on your heads-up-display. These progress bars are filled by catching mice using Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. Trick AND treat enough mice to fill both bars in your current location to attract mice from the next! You TRICK mice using Ghoulgonzola and TREAT them with Candy Corn Cheese.</p>
| + | So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>You'll have to trick and treat your way through the Corn Maze, into the Haunted Manor and finally to the Pumpkin Patch where the Trick, Treat and Gourdborg mice await you!</p> | + | <div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"> |

| | + | '''TWICE''' as many hunters per map, up to a maximum of '''10'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>What sort of haunted loot waits for you at the end of your journey? With a little farming knowledge, an evil pumpkin seed from the Gourdborg mouse can be used to create a spooky (and shadowy) limited edition trap that will let you hunt with fearsome Halloween style! Rumor even has it that with some creative crafting an even more fearsome trap can be constructed...</p> | + | Ends on '''Wednesday, November 26''' at 4:00PM UTC |

| | | | |
| − | <p>There's more Halloween fun yet! Gifting is up and running and features a limited edition Pumpkin Treat Basket to celebrate Halloween! Who knows what treats could be inside?</p>
| + | If you're still on a map when the event ends, everyone currently on the map remains on it and can finish it. However, new hunters cannot be invited beyond the map's regular size. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Let the trick-or-treating begin! Have fun and happy haunting MouseHunters!</p>

| |
| − | ''{{date|1|October|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>MouseHunt is currently a featured application on the Facebook games dashboard. This means more novice hunters will be joining the community that may need a helping hand to understand the adventure that they've just embarked upon!</p>

| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>In the spirit of helping new hunters, we need your help with something more specific!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We're looking to make a splash image or comic that depicts "A day in the life of a MouseHunter" to show players who are new to the game. The goal is to show that MouseHunt is a game that you check on in your spare time and is a fun game that only takes a few minutes a day to enjoy.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The general idea is some sort of splash image or comic showing someone checking in to sound their horn, then going off to make lunch, or some other activity. Then, 15 minutes later, they come back to sound the horn again and once again, they leave and do another activity. This structure shows that the game is played passively by checking back whenever you have a minute of free time.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We're not looking for a finished or polished product, but more a general storyboard, sketch or idea. Feel free to be creative and funny with your delivery of the theme.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>There are also a few technical limits to what the image can be:</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Max size of 670x550 pixels
| |
| − | * It needs to be able to be read in about 6-10 seconds
| |
| − | * It needs to make sense to someone who has never seen or heard of the game (nothing too end-game or an "inside-joke/culture")
| |

| − | <p>We're excited see the perspective of players and your takes on what makes the way you play the game so much fun!</p>
