====How to Boost Your Prize Power====
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Prize Mice can be found in all locations except the Meadow. You can encounter a prize mouse by sounding your horn, or a friend sounding the horn and bringing you on a hunt. Boosting your Prize Power will increase your odds of encountering a prize mouse. You can boost your Prize Power by using any of four new special items that are available as gifts and loot. These items are: Lucky Coins, Lucky Horseshoes, Lucky Underwear and Beginner's Luck.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>'''[[Lucky Coin]]s'''<br/>
 
−
Found as loot dropped by any mouse. Visit a friend's profile and "toss" the coin into their Wishing Well and receive '''+3 Prize Power''' for both you and your friend. If your friend has less than five Prize Power, you'll both get '''+5 Prize Power'''. Alternatively, you can visit the "Special" section of your inventory and "rub" the coin to receive '''+1 Prize Power'''. You can hold a maximum of ten coins in your inventory, so make sure to check back often and use them up!</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>'''[[Lucky Horseshoe]]s'''<br/>
 
−
Available as a gift of the day during the giveaway. Visit the "Special" section of your inventory to "toss" a horseshoe for a '''+3 Prize Power''' boost.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>'''[[Lucky Underwear]]'''<br/>
 
−
Available as a "Gift of the Day" during the giveaway. Visit the "Special" section of your inventory to "wear" these amazing underpants for a '''+5 Prize Power''' boost.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>'''[[Beginner's Luck]]'''<br/>
 
−
If a friend joins the hunt as a new recruit, you'll receive some of their Beginner's Luck when they sound their horn for their very first time! Visit the "Special" section of your inventory and open a vial for a '''+8 Prize Power boost'''.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
====How Prize Power and Catching Prize Mice Works====
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Prize Power increases your chances of encountering a prize mouse, as well as increases the chances of encountering the more valuable Prize Mice. Treasurer Mice can be encountered with very little prize power, while High Roller require more prize power.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Your Prize Power resets upon catching a prize mouse, as well as at the very end of the giveaway. As an added bonus, should you encounter a prize mouse and fail to capture it, you'll receive '''+1 Prize Power''' to help you encounter another!</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Should you catch a prize mouse and win '''[[King's Credits]]''', you will be unable to encounter that same type of prize mouse for 24 hours to both give other hunters a chance to win and increase your chances of encountering one of the other Prize Mice. Should you catch a Mobster or Leprechaun, you will be unable to encounter another one for 90 days.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
====Prizes To Win:====
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Catching a Mobster Mouse will win you varying amounts of '''[[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]]'''. The cheese will be directly added to your inventory.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Catching a Leprechaun Mouse will win you varying amounts of '''cash'''! That's right, REAL MONEY! All cash prizes are paid via PayPal, or can be redeemed for SUPER|brie+.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Catching one of the other Prize Mice will earn you '''King's Credits'''. These sepcial coins can be exchanged at the King's Royal Prize Shoppe for a variety of in-game items including crafting ingredients, potions, SUPER|brie+, the Lucky Golden Shield and new trap skins! These same prizes will be available again during the next giveaway. None of the new, unique items are limited edition.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>'''See something you don't have enough King's Credits for?''' Don't worry! You'll be able to save your King's Credits for the next King's Giveaway event!</p>
 
−
 
 
−
====What are the New Trap Skins?====
 
−
 
 
−
[[Grungy DeathBot]] [[Fluffy DeathBot]] [[Ninja Ambush]]
 
−
<p>Brace yourself for ground-breaking style! '''Trap Skins''' change your trap's '''appearence''' -- not the stats. They make a great way to show some unique style while hunting! The skins are available as prizes in the Giveaway and the Daily Raffle. They are also tradable at the Marketplace with some also available to donators.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>To apply a Trap Skin, first dismantle the respective trap with your Hunter's Hammer and craft the resulting parts with the skin.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
====Where do I Start?====
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Start hunting for '''[[Lucky Coin]]s''' to "toss" into the [[Wishing Wells]] on your friends' profiles! You can use up to ten wells a day, as well as "rub" any extra coins you find to get even more Prize Power! Load up on '''[[Lucky Horseshoe]]s''' and '''[[Lucky Underwear]]''' -- clicking the "wear all" for button Lucky Underwear not only gives you Prize Power, but makes a bold fashion statement as well ... stylin'! Remember: You need to visit the "Special" section of your inventory to activate these items and raise your Prize Power. Will you use them all at once? Or space out how often you use them? Plan out your strategy, Hunters!</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>Watch the news ticker at the top of the game for a few hints and tips. Good luck out there and happy hunting!</p>

<p>Hey Hunters!</p>

====Halloween Leaves Gnawnia====
+
'''The King's Vault is Open!'''
  
−
<p>The Halloween event has come to an end. We hope everyone had spooky amounts of fun exploring the Haunted 'Terrortories' and hunting the sinister Gourdborg mouse!</p>
+
Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies!
  
−
<p>If you were in the Haunted Terrortories at the time they were closed, you'll now find yourself in a vacant lot where there are no special mice, items or shops. The empty lot is to allow those who were at the event at the time it ended to safely travel away. The King's guards will escort out any stragglers in a few days.</p>
 
  
−
<p>We've been seeing a lot of great feedback on the [http://forum.hitgrab.com/forumdisplay.php?1-MouseHunt forums] about this event that will help plan future ones. If you have yet to visit the forums, please stop by to check out what your fellow hunters are saying and make your own voice heard!</p>
+
==== The King's Giveaway has BEGUN! ====
 +
The gilded gates protecting the King's Royal Treasure Vault have been opened and the King's Giveaway has begun!
  
−
====Giveaway this November!====
+
From now until '''July 2''', the Treasurer, Snooty, High Roller, Mobster, and Leprechaun mice will be encountered more frequently everywhere in the Kingdom!
  
−
<p>The King is planning a November Giveaway Event!!! Lots of Mobster and Leprechaun mice will be on the loose worth SUPER|brie+ and real cash prizes. We've taken feedback from past giveaways into account and are adding a few "mini" prize mice worth in-game items, new unique looking traps and more! We hope these new mice will provide something to win for everyone!</p>
+
During the giveaway, each time you attract a mouse, you'll have a chance to attract a prize mouse as a '''bonus hunt''' which does not consume any cheese or charms and will appear as an additional hunt in your Hunter's Journal.
  
 +
<center>''Capture these rare and valuable mice for Prize Keys and a chance to win SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+, King's Credits, and more!''</center>

<p>Hope you had a blast this October! Look forward to an exciting November!</p>
+
==== King's Prize Keys and The Vault ====
  
−
<p>Happy hunting!</p>
+
The greedy prize mice have snatched up '''ALL''' the keys this year! Only prize mice will drop King's Prize Keys but they will always drop at least one! Use these keys to open 10 Mystery Prize Packs from your Hunter's Camp. These packs contain all sorts of goodies such as Gold, Regal Charms, King's Credits and SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+!
  
−
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
+
Once you've opened 10 Mystery Prize Packs, the King will allow you to peek into the vault and select one of three randomly offered, highly valuable prizes! Once a prize has been selected from the vault, the door will slam shut and the prizes will reset. You may visit the vault every time you open 10 prize packs!

<p>Halloween has come and gone and the Haunted Terrortories are about to leave Gnawnia! Good luck if you're still chasing down the sinister Gourdborg Mouse. We hope everyone had fun during the event and encourage hunters to visit the forums and give us suggestions, opinions and feedback we can use when preparing future events.</p>

<p>Happy Hunting!</p>

Considered some of the most rare items in the Kingdom are the Mystery Pot of Gold and Mystery Satchel of Gold dropped by the extremely rare and elusive '''Leprechaun Mouse'''. Should you have the extraordinary luck of not only encountering but also capturing a Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a generous quantity of Gold along with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and charms. On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and the chance of a cash prize!

====Gifting Updates:====

==== Regal Codex ====
  
−
<p>We've been closely watching feedback about the new free gifts in the game and have made a few changes, mainly to the send and claim limits.</p>
+
Unlock the new Regal Codex by hunting with any Regal Charm to find Regal Codex Pages as loot drops. Mice drop these pages both during and after the giveaway! The pages can then be turned in at the King's Arms for the Codex.
  
−
<p>You can now claim 10 gifts per day and send up to 10, depending on your Hunter's Title.</p>
+
<center>''The codex allows you a chance to upgrade your existing Regal Charm into the next tiered version!''</center>
  
−
<p>We are also in the process of building a page that lists all of your recent unclaimed gifts. This will make it easy to claim gifts from previous days.</p>
+

====Monday Maintenance:====
+
==== King's Cart Updates ====
  
−
<p>We'll be making some significant upgrades to the servers that run the game to help keep everything running smoothly. Unfortunately due to the nature of these upgrades the game will be unavailable for about a half an hour, after which we will need to let hunters back into the game slowly. We're planning to start the maintenance at 1pm EDT (5pm GMT).</p>

<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>
+
==== Rainbow Treasure Maps ====
  
−
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
+
Inside the King's Vault, hunters may have the option to select a Rainbow Scroll Case as one possible reward. This bright and colourful case contains a lengthy treasure map, which usually allows for six hunters to participate. However, hunters can upgrade their Rainbow Scroll Cases into a PARTY SIZE version by visiting the King's Arms or King's Cart. The exchange costs a regular Rainbow Scroll Case, 1 Rare Map Dust, and 50 Magic Essence. This jumbo scroll contains the same massive map, but allows for '''10 hunters''' to participate!

=== Halloween Trick AND Treat Event! ===
 
−
''{{date|20|October|2010}}''
 
−
<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>
+
Whether you take on a regular or party size map they'll both lead to the same Rainbow Treasure Chest rewarding Gold, Points, Ancient Charms, Rainbow Charms, King's Credits, and more!
  
−
<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>
+
Not interested in completing such a huge 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.
  
−
<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>
 
  
−
<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>
+
==== Royal Deals ====
 +
To celebrate the King's Giveaway, the King is offering royal deals on the most popular cheese in the Kingdom: SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+!
  
−
<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>
+
Until the end of the giveaway, some of the most popular bundles of SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ are on sale with savings ranging from 10% all the way to 25% off.
  
−
<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>
+
Additionally, the King has put together some marvelous bundles, offering up the very best of his royal stash of Regal Charms and SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+, along with some Prize Keys to exchange towards a King's Vault prize, for a bargain!
  
−
<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>

==== A Reminder About Bonus Hunts ====

Bonus hunts do not affect area progression, consume cheese or charms, or trigger special hunting effects and abilities. This means bonus hunts will not do things such as move your submarine forward in the Sunken City, advance your position in the Valour Rift, affect rage levels in Whisker Woods Rift, etc.

The "special" bonuses '''specifically''' provided by your trap, base, charm, and aura(s) (not area bonuses like the Furoma Rift Droid) are taken into account as expected when encountering a mouse on a bonus hunt.

<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>

The King's Giveaway!

18 June 2024

The King's Vault is Open!

Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies!


The King's Giveaway has BEGUN!

The gilded gates protecting the King's Royal Treasure Vault have been opened and the King's Giveaway has begun!

From now until July 2, the Treasurer, Snooty, High Roller, Mobster, and Leprechaun mice will be encountered more frequently everywhere in the Kingdom!

During the giveaway, each time you attract a mouse, you'll have a chance to attract a prize mouse as a bonus hunt which does not consume any cheese or charms and will appear as an additional hunt in your Hunter's Journal.

Capture these rare and valuable mice for Prize Keys and a chance to win SUPER|brie+, King's Credits, and more!

King's Prize Keys and The Vault

The greedy prize mice have snatched up ALL the keys this year! Only prize mice will drop King's Prize Keys but they will always drop at least one! Use these keys to open 10 Mystery Prize Packs from your Hunter's Camp. These packs contain all sorts of goodies such as Gold, Regal Charms, King's Credits and SUPER|brie+!

Once you've opened 10 Mystery Prize Packs, the King will allow you to peek into the vault and select one of three randomly offered, highly valuable prizes! Once a prize has been selected from the vault, the door will slam shut and the prizes will reset. You may visit the vault every time you open 10 prize packs!

The King's Vault will close on July 9.

Once the giveaway ends, any King's Prize Keys in your inventory will be removed, so make sure to use them up!


Prized Items

Capturing a Treasurer, Snooty, or High Roller Mouse will reward you with King's Credits which you can spend at the King's Arms or King's Cart for equipment to help you in a wide range of hunting endeavours.

Capturing a Mobster Mouse will reward you with SUPER|brie+ in quantities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, or even 1,000!

Considered some of the most rare items in the Kingdom are the Mystery Pot of Gold and Mystery Satchel of Gold dropped by the extremely rare and elusive Leprechaun Mouse. Should you have the extraordinary luck of not only encountering but also capturing a Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a generous quantity of Gold along with SUPER|brie+ and charms. On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more SUPER|brie+ and the chance of a cash prize!


Regal Codex

Unlock the new Regal Codex by hunting with any Regal Charm to find Regal Codex Pages as loot drops. Mice drop these pages both during and after the giveaway! The pages can then be turned in at the King's Arms for the Codex.

The codex allows you a chance to upgrade your existing Regal Charm into the next tiered version!
The Regal Codex will be a permanent addition to the King's Cart.

This means that you can obtain it even after the King's Giveaway ends!


King's Cart Updates

The following items have been added to the King's Cart:

Papyrus Seed
Cost: 1x King's Credit 		Ingenuity Grub
Cost: 1x King's Credit
Unstable Charm
Cost: 2x King's Credit 		Compass Magnet
Cost: 20x King's Credit
Regal Chrome Celestial Dissonance Skin
Cost: 300x King's Credit 		Regal Codex
Cost: 100x Regal Codex Page


Rainbow Treasure Maps

Inside the King's Vault, hunters may have the option to select a Rainbow Scroll Case as one possible reward. This bright and colourful case contains a lengthy treasure map, which usually allows for six hunters to participate. However, hunters can upgrade their Rainbow Scroll Cases into a PARTY SIZE version by visiting the King's Arms or King's Cart. The exchange costs a regular Rainbow Scroll Case, 1 Rare Map Dust, and 50 Magic Essence. This jumbo scroll contains the same massive map, but allows for 10 hunters to participate!

Whether you take on a regular or party size map they'll both lead to the same Rainbow Treasure Chest rewarding Gold, Points, Ancient Charms, Rainbow Charms, King's Credits, and more!

Not interested in completing such a huge 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.


Royal Deals

To celebrate the King's Giveaway, the King is offering royal deals on the most popular cheese in the Kingdom: SUPER|brie+!

Until the end of the giveaway, some of the most popular bundles of SUPER|brie+ are on sale with savings ranging from 10% all the way to 25% off.

Additionally, the King has put together some marvelous bundles, offering up the very best of his royal stash of Regal Charms and SUPER|brie+, along with some Prize Keys to exchange towards a King's Vault prize, for a bargain!

Hunters who have purchased the SUPER|brie+ quantities of 500, 1,600, 2,500, or 7,500 from the Premium Shop within the last two weeks may be compensated by writing in to MouseHunt Support. We're working through these compensations manually.

On July 2, Prize Keys will stop dropping, and Prize mice will go back into hiding.

The Giveaway will remain accessible for opening Prize Packs and King's Vaults until July 9

King's Prize Keys will be removed from inventories shortly afterwards, so be sure to exchange them all!

The event will end at approximately 3:00pm UTC

A Reminder About Bonus Hunts

Bonus hunts do not affect area progression, consume cheese or charms, or trigger special hunting effects and abilities. This means bonus hunts will not do things such as move your submarine forward in the Sunken City, advance your position in the Valour Rift, affect rage levels in Whisker Woods Rift, etc.

The "special" bonuses specifically provided by your trap, base, charm, and aura(s) (not area bonuses like the Furoma Rift Droid) are taken into account as expected when encountering a mouse on a bonus hunt.
