<p>'''Spring Egg Hunt!'''<br>
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
The Chocolate Factory has re-opened its doors and this year's Spring Egg Hunt has begun in Gnawnia! But, like clockwork, some trouble-making mouse harbouring a strange obsession with eggs has hatched a plan to sabotage the Eggscavator, making it impossible for hunters to track down eggs!<br>
 
Hunters must travel to the '''Chocolate Factory''', catch mice to find and use Marshmallow Monterey, and capture 10 eggs being dropped by the mice there in order to re-calibrate the Eggscavator.
 
Once it's been re-tuned, hunters can then travel across the land and collect special eggs from mice and areas! Hunters who don't yet have an Eggscavator from last year's Spring Egg Hunt can pick one up in the Chocolate Factory's General Store and begin the hunt to re-calibrate it.<br>
 
The factory doors close and the production of eggs '''ends on Monday, April 15''', so get on out there and get crackin'!<br><br>
 
  
'''EGGS!'''<br>
+
----
Each egg holds a special treasure inside and hunters can collect as many of them as they like! Can you complete your entire collection of eggs? Or will you go for as many of your absolute favourite eggs as possible?<br>
 
When you find an egg, visit the Special [http://www.mousehuntgame.com/inventory.php?tab=4] section of your inventory to smash it open!

'''Marshmallow Monterey'''<br>
+
'''Celebrate the new Year of the Snake and earn DOUBLE or TRIPLE loot!'''
Hunt in the Chocolate Factory to find mice carrying Marshmallow Monterey. This strangely sweet 'n' peppery cheese has an aroma and flavour only a mouse could love.<br><br>
 
  
'''Faulty Eggscavator'''<br>
+
Raise your Lantern to celebrate the Year of the Snake!
The Eggscavator may look to be in working order, but it's having trouble tracking down the special egg signal that Spring Egg Hunt eggs broadcast. In order to get it re-calibrated so that you can hunt down those eggs, you'll need to use Marshmallow Monterey to capture mice that drop special factory eggs. Once these have been re-acquired, the Eggscavator will pick up the "scent" and you'll be able to hunt all across the land for Spring Egg Hunt eggs! <br>
 
When you find an egg, visit the Special [http://www.mousehuntgame.com/inventory.php?tab=4] section of your inventory to smash it open!

==== Eggy Charms ====
 
 
'''Eggscavator Charge Charms'''<br>
 
Some special charms have appeared in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe that allow you to charge up your Eggscavator (after it's been re-calibrated) in order to find special Charge eggs! When you hunt with Eggscavator Charge Charms equipped, you build up 1 charge per catch on your Eggscavator and have a chance to find special Charge eggs based on the number of charges built up. Keep your Eggscavator charged at all times for the best chance to find these extra-special Charge eggs!<br><br>
 
 
'''Eggstra Charms'''<br>
 
The incredible magic of these charms will duplicate any bonus eggs dropped by mice, giving you TWO eggs instead of just one. Use Marshmallow Monterey in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe to create these charms, or pickup an Egg Hunting Kit which comes with 5 charms and plenty of Marshmallow Monterey.<br>
 
Use Marshmallow Monterey in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe to create these eggy charms. After the Spring Egg Hunt is over, any eggcess charms can be smashed with your Hunter's Hammer to create Dark Chocolate Charms.<br><br>
 
 
'''Dark Chocolate Charms'''<br>
 
Made of 88% coco and 12% evil, this sinister piece of confectionery will attract spooky mice when hunting at the Chocolate Factory! Before you arm this charm make sure your trap is properly prepared and that you're up for a challenge! Buy some from the Charm Shoppe!</p>
 
 
<p>
 
==== Spring Gifts and Gift Eggs for Friends! ====
 
 
'''Gift Egg'''<br>
 
 
These eggs have a variety of items inside to help you in your hunting endeavours. I wonder what's inside this one... Send your friend a Gift Egg this Spring!<br><br>
 
 
'''Scrambles!'''<br>
 
Scrambles the Hunting Seer is full of sage hunting advice that will help you see the sunny side of hunting. When you're questioning your hunting strategy, just ask Scrambles for help. Make sure to consult Scrambles before sounding your horn. You never know what piece of advice you'll get from this cuddly little chicken.<br>

=== Ronza Is Under Attack! ===
 
''{{date|7|March|2013}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
It's MouseHunt's 5th Birthday, and who else should arrive to help celebrate but '''RONZA'''! Her fantastic flying airship is - as always - loaded down with fantastic traps and goodies to help capture the varied and vengeful mice of Gnawnia. You'll need them too, as those mice have finally had enough, and have formed the Mouse Force Five; a super-team with the goal of destroying Ronza forever!
 
 
Purchase and equip your most powerful traps and use them to defeat the individual members of the Mouse Force Five, collecting robot scraps as you do. When you have enough, visit Ronza's trapsmith to purchase something that could be used as a robot head, then craft your own Super Robot Trap in her store to challenge the Mouse Force Five's evil super robot! Defeat it enough times in open combat so they'll break off their attack, and you'll have saved Ronza!
 
 
Help fight off the robot before '''Monday, March 18''' and Ronza will reward you with a birthday cake! Ronza takes off on that day giant evil robot or no, so be sure to visit her before she's gone!
 
 
====Robot Menace Terrorizes Gnawnia!====
 
A GIGANTIC robotic mouse is stomping all over Gnawnia, threatening the Kingdom and making Ronza feel a little stressed out! Help fight off this colossal mousey robo-beast and keep Gnawnia and Ronza safe!
 
 
 
'''Mouse Force Five'''
 
 
Members from a new elite mouse team called the Mouse Force Five are attacking Ronza's airship! You must hunt them down and collect Robot Scraps from each of the 5 mice in order to build your own massive robot trap.
 
 
 
'''Robot Scraps'''
 
 
Each member of the Mouse Force Five drops a different Robot Scrap that you will need to collect. Once all 5 types have been collected, you can piece them together to create the arms, legs, and torso of your very own giant robot trap!
 
 
 
'''Repurposed Robot Head'''
 
 
The only thing missing from your robot is the head! Luckily, Ronza has tons of spare trap parts lying around and these can be repurposed to form the final piece of your Ultra MegaMouser MechaBot Trap! Visit her General Store to buy one.
 
 
====Amazing New Ronza Traps!====
 
Ronza is known for bringing the foremost in trap technology, and this year is no different. Her wares are sure to impress and scare even the most jaded of mouse, and perhaps cause them to think twice before attempting to steal that chunk of cheese.
 
 
 
'''The Isle Idol Trap'''
 
 
When hunting in the Tribal Isles with this fantastic new trap, you'll get double the crafting drops from the Derr, Nerg, and Elub mice! "But they're all different power types!" I hear you say. True! Which is why this amazing trap comes with two skins that change the power type from Physical to Hydro to Tactical and back again, while maintaining the double-drop powers!
 
 
 
'''Tarannosaurus Rex Trap'''
 
 
You wanna talk ancient and Forgotten? What's more ancient than dinosaur bones? Dread magic animates these primeval bones while boiling, bubbling tar drips all around. Any mouse brave or foolish enough to attempt to steal cheese from beneath its claws must be careful to avoid the sticky tar and the swift claws. Only the strongest and quickest mice will escape!
 
  
 +
==== Year of the Snake ====
 +
The Year of the Snake is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with Lunar New Year mice at '''thirteen''' locations across Gnawnia!
  
'''Chrome MonstroBot'''
+
Claim the Snake Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!
  
Introducing the peak pinnacle of power, last legacy of luck, the absolute authority of awesomeness... the Chrome MonstroBot! Smash down your existing Sandstorm MonstroBot, dip the parts in the brand-new Chrome MonstroBot Upgrade Kit Ronza has brought, and then re-assemble them into the biggest, the shiniest, the straight-up wildest trap MouseHunt has ever seen!

=== The Year of the Snake begins! ===
 
''{{date|11|February|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
====The Year of the Snake begins!====
 
With the Lunar New Year and Valentine's happening so closely together, Calamity Carl has decided to try to combine the two in a unique way: A Cozy Cruise around some of the sights of Gnawnia, packed with eye-catching fireworks with which to celebrate! However, he's gotten far more than he's bargained for, as the shape and colour of his cruise ship have proven absolutely alluring to every single water snake in the region and they are slowing down the cruise with their sheer bulk. On top of that, mice have invaded the cruise and run off with all the fireworks!
 
  
Thankfully, the snakes can't abide the bright lights and loud noise of fireworks, so it's going to be your job to help out! Hunt down the thieving mice and take back the Firecracker Charms. Arm them on your trap to both scare off the snakes (allowing you to move faster) and attract mice who carry potions to build bigger and better fireworks, all the way up to the incredible Snakebite Charm firework!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0"><div style="font-size: 115%>'''The Lunar New Year event will end on February 11, 2025'''</div></div>
  
The festivities will continue until '''February 25''', where the cruise ship will end its tour, docking at the Harbour. The ship's various Shops will still be open for some time before it finally leaves.
+
As of February 11, you will '''no longer be able to collect Dumpling cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles''' at stockpile locations.
  
====Collect Cruise Bux====
 
On your cruise, you'll be rewarded with [[Cruise Bux]] when you pass from place to place, and you may find some on the mice you catch as well. Save them up, and when you have finished your cruise you can visit the ship's [[Shops]] and pick up new traps, bases, skins, and more!
 
  
Launch another cruise and tour around Gnawnia a second (or third!) time to get even MORE Cruise Bux!
+
You will '''no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern candles''' and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.
  
====Catch Celebrating Mice====
 
You'll find many mice have flocked to the cruise, from the simple White Mouse to the Students of Furoma, all celebrating and having a grand time, and every stage of the cruise will have visitors from that area - perhaps mice you haven't yet had a chance to see, even!
 
  
Also, if you equip a [[Valentine Charm]], you may attract a Firecracker Charm-carrying [[Totally Not Bitter Mouse|''Totally'' Not Bitter Mouse]]. He's having a pretty hard Valentine's Day.
+
You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops '''until February 18'''.
  
====Gather Souvenirs====
+
==== Celebration Supplies ====
Each area you visit along your cruise will have a special souvenir associated with it. There is a rare chance you will get the souvenir from each area from the mice there, so try to collect them all!
+
The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!
  
If you're having trouble picking any up, you can visit the ship's [[Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise General Store|General Store]] after your first successful cruise to complete your souvenir set!
+
All candles are sold in packs that can be given to friends or bought and sold on the Marketplace. Grab them now to kick-start your celebration!
  
====Fireworks, Gift Baskets, and Cruise Crates====
+
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em"

=== New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted! ===
 
''{{date|14|January|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
====New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted!====
 
Fear and awe have spread through mice and hunters alike in recent days, as rumours of terrifying new mice have quickly spread.
 
 
In the Twisted Garden, a super-charged mouse lurks in the depths, shocking (both literally and figuratively) anyone that comes near!
 
 
In the Cursed City, an ancient and evil magical mouse is inventing new and dangerous curses to cast over the whole of Gnawnia!
 
 
And in the Sand Crypts, a hyper-evolved mouse has reared his exceptionally ugly head and is devouring all he sees!
 
 
====All-new recipes!====
 
In order to face these new mice, you'll need the power of the all-new Shattering Charm, which can only be crafted by utilizing the power of an Icuri Essence.
 
 
The mysterious Rift Base harnesses the very power of the rift between our world and the next, and will be immensely useful in coming battles. But how to craft it? Only patient and powerful hunters will ever know.
 
 
If there was ever a mouse that proved a little too tough, or thought he was a little too much for you, the Ultimate Charm will prove them wrong. What does it do? ''It catches mice. '''Period.''''' Regardless of any other factors, this charm will catch the very next mouse that wanders too close. Then, if it wasn't jostled too hard in the process, maybe it stays around for another try. Try to see how many mice yours lasts for!
 
 
Finally, to prove your dominion over the Living Garden, there's the all-new Living Garden theme. Anyone viewing your journal when you have this theme active will definitely know that you are the true master of the Living Garden!

====Bonus Luck Weekend!====
 
It looks like a light smattering of lucky fairy dust has settled over Gnawnia. Or perhaps the Digby scientists have been up to more of their irresponsible experiments? Maybe everyone's just on an incredible streak. Whatever it is, every trap is lucky this weekend, and everyone gets a +5 luck bonus on every hunt!
 
 
 
Take advantage of all that extra luck and hunt down some of the tougher mice this weekend!
 
 
 
====Lucky Mouse====
 
This little guy has collected a pile of "Lucky" trinkets: a funky lucky sock that he'll never remove because he claims it once messed up a Monstrobot's sensors, lucky beads that managed to jam a trap's trigger mechanism without him even noticing, and his lucky belt that has... been a good conversation starter at least.
 
 
 
But also in his possession is a collection of ''actual'' Luck Charms, Super Luck Charms, and even Ultimate Luck Charms! Seek him out and catch him in your trap to claim your lucky prize!
 
 
 
====Lucky Hunting Kit====
 
Looking for ''even more luck''? This kit comes jam-packed with it! 200 SUPER|brie+, 100 Luck Charms, an incredible 30 Super Luck Charms, and a 1 month Lucky Golden Shield will boost your luck to incredible levels.

* A new Lucky Mouse wandering the lands
 
* Find that mouse!

Happy Lunar New Year

29 January 2025

Celebrate the new Year of the Snake and earn DOUBLE or TRIPLE loot!

Raise your Lantern to celebrate the Year of the Snake!

Year of the Snake

The Year of the Snake is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with Lunar New Year mice at thirteen locations across Gnawnia!

Claim the Snake Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!

How to Celebrate

Stockpile Locations

Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you to a specific location immediately. This year, the Bountiful Beanstalk has been added as a new stockpile location!

Town of Gnawnia Laboratory Great Gnarled Tree Dojo
S.S Huntington IV Claw Shot City Gnawnia Rift Fungal Cavern
Moussu Picchu Queso River Islands' Launch Pad Foreword Farm
Bountiful Beanstalk Climb
Gather Dumpling Cheese

At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would in that location. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance of dropping Dumpling Cheese.

Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice

Gather Lunar Lantern candles from any of the event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some of the coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles!

Light the Candles and soar into prosperity!

With the Snake Lantern you claimed, you can begin lighting these 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 the 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!


Lunar New Year Items

The various shops at stockpile locations stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased after the Lunar New Year adventure is completed. Keep an eye out for some unique and festive airship parts, trap skins, and more!

The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to Cartographers at stockpile locations, where you can work together with friends to complete the treasure map.


The Lunar New Year event will end on February 11, 2025

As of February 11, you will no longer be able to collect Dumpling cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles at stockpile locations.


You will no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern candles and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.


You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops until February 18.

Celebration Supplies

The King has expanded his collection of offerings with a variety of bountiful bundles to help you raise your lantern to new heights!

All candles are sold in packs that can be given to friends or bought and sold on the Marketplace. Grab them now to kick-start your celebration!
