Hunting On the Ground
While on the ground, Hunters can gather Arctic Asiago while hunting with Standard Cheese or SUPER|brie+. Hunters can use Arctic Asiago or other Great Winter Hunt Cheese to attract mice that drop various gifts. Gifts are collected to fill orders. Wrapping 10 orders will allow the Hunter to take flight and encounter the Great Winter Hunt Impostor and earn various rewards.
Zones
Mice vary by zone when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheeses.
Arctic Asiago provides a nearly perfect attraction rate and is required for attracting certain mice.
Each zone provides a different gift type.
Zones are a minimum of 250 meters in length, with longer zones being a multiple of 250 meters. There does not appear to be an upper limit to a zone's length, but zones over 1,250 meters are very rare.
Brake: Using any charm with Anchor in its name will slow the Hunter's sleigh to 10 meters per hunt.
Normal: Hunters travel 30 meters per hunt.
Boost: Using 1 Sleigh Nitro will increase the speed of the Hunter's sleigh to 250 meters per hunt.
Turbo: Using 3 Sleigh Nitro will increase the speed of the Hunter's sleigh to 500 meters per hunt.
- Winter Wasteland
- Mice found here rarely drop toys, so this is a good location to arm Standard Cheese or SUPER|brie+ and farm Arctic Asiago.
- Decorative Oasis
- Mice found here may drop the Simple Tree Ornament when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Tinsel Forest
- Mice found here may drop the Simple Tree Ornament and Deluxe Tree Ornament when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Bunny Hills
- Mice found here may drop the Simple Pair of Skis when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Frosty Mountains
- Mice found here may drop the Simple Pair of Skis and Deluxe Riding Sled when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Toy Lot
- Mice found here may drop the Simple Toy Top when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Toy Emporium
- Mice found here may drop the Simple Toy Top and Deluxe Toy Block when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Snowball Storm
- Mice found here may drop Throwable Snowballs when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- New Year's Party
- The New Year's Mouse and Party Head Mouse will drop Festive New Year's Fireworks when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
- Mice found here may drop the various Gifts when hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese
Collecting and Wrapping Gifts
As Hunters travel through the zones while hunting with Great Winter Hunt Cheese they will collect gifts.
Hunters will always have 3 orders open at a time, but never more than 2 orders requiring the same item.
- Simple gift orders will require from 4 to 8 items to fill.
- Deluxe gift orders will require from 3 to 4 items to fill.
Filling an order will advance the Gifts Wrapped counter and a new order will be randomly chosen to replace it. When 10 gift orders have been wrapped Hunters will be able to take flight. If Hunters choose not to take flight immediately, they can continue to hunt on the ground and collect gifts, but will be unable to fill any additional gift orders until they have taken flight and exhausted their hunts while in the air. Upon landing, Hunters will be returned to the same spot in the same zone and can resume collecting gifts and wrapping orders.
Taking Flight
Hunters must wrap 10 gift orders in order to be able to Take Flight
There is only a single zone called Winter Wonderland while in flight. Arctic Asiago provides the best attraction rate and the Great Winter Hunt Impostor is more difficult to attract when hunting with other Great Winter Hunt Cheese and exceptionally difficult to attract with Standard Cheese or SUPER|brie+. It is strongly recommended that Hunters do not take flight with fewer than 30 pieces of Arctic Asiago to hunt with.
Number of Hunts
Hunters start each flight with 20 available hunts. Hunters are returned to the ground when their hunts reach zero.
- Capturing the Great Winter Hunt Impostor will reward 2 additional hunts without consuming a hunt
- Capturing any other mouse will consume a hunt.
- A Failure To Catch (FTC) will consume a hunt
- A Failure to Attract (FTA) will have no effect on the hunt count, provides no progress, and will not deploy any fireworks..
Speed and Distance
The base speed while in flight is 800 meters per hunt.
- Brake - Disabled during flight
- Normal - Speed is 800 meters per hunt

Distances from each flight are added to the distances achieved on all previous flights. It will take multiple flights to receive all four available rewards.
Beginning at 130,000 meters Hunters will receive a Floating Reindeer Crate every 10,000 meters. These crates are automatically added to the Hunter's inventory. Each crate will have 2 Festive New Year's Fireworks attached, which are automatically added to the Hunter's inventory.
Fireworks
Hunters can collect Festive New Year's Fireworks in New Year's Party zones on the ground. Festive New Year's Fireworks are required to encounter the Frightened Flying Fireworks Mouse while in flight.
Hunting while in flight will deploy 1 Festive New Year's Fireworks per hunt, adding a Deployed Festive New Year's Fireworks to the Hunter's inventory. Acquiring sufficient numbers of these deployed fireworks will unlock special items in the General Store.
Each Floating Reindeer Crate will have 2 Festive New Year's Fireworks attached, which will automatically be added to the Hunter's inventory.
When Hunters run out of Festive New Year's Fireworks they will be able to Land if they choose, but this will waste any remaining hunts available during the flight.
Great Winter Hunt Mice
These are the Event mice that may be encountered during the annual Great Winter Hunt.
Charm Use
- Winter and Festive Charms
- Using any charm with the word Winter or Festive in its name will attract the Snowflake Mouse
- Anchor Charms
- Using any charm with Anchor in its name will slow the Hunter's sleigh to 10 meters per hunt while hunting on the ground.
- WARNING #1: The area-specific effects of these charms have no effect in the event location. The use of a Golden Anchor Charm, Spiked Anchor Charm, or Ultimate Anchor Charm is not recommended.
- WARNING #2: It is possible to arm the anchor charms during Flight but they will not slow the progress of the sleigh.
- Empowered Anchor Charm
- Festive Anchor Charm
- Golden Anchor Charm
- Spiked Anchor Charm
- Ultimate Anchor Charm - The guaranteed catch effect works only in Sunken City. Do Not Use This Charm in the Great Winter Hunt 2016.
Cheese Preference and Loot
- Hunting on the ground
- Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+ will attract mice that drop Arctic Asiago.
- Arctic Asiago will attract all mice that drop gifts..
- Other Great Winter Hunt Cheeses will attract most mice that drop gifts, but the attraction rate is lower than with Arctic Asiago.
- Hunting In Flight
- Arctic Asiago provides the best attraction for the Great Winter Hunt Impostor.
- Other Great Winter Hunt Cheeses, Standard Cheeses, and SUPER|brie+ add the Abominable Snow Mouse, Diamond Mouse, and Gold Mouse to the population and attract the Great Winter Hunt Impostor less often.
- The Gingerbread Mouse avoids traps armed with any Festive or Winter charms combined with Arctic Asiago, Standard Cheeses, and SUPER|brie+. It can be attracted with those charms armed when hunting with other Great Winter Hunt Cheeses.
