<blockquote>
 
<p>Trap checks are currently very broken. Despite our best efforts to find a solution this problem persists. The entire team is brainstorming ideas on how we can restructure the way trap checks work because the current implementation is not capable of providing trap checks to the amount of players who play everyday.</p>
 
  
<p>We may have to rebuild the trap check system from scratch which may take some time. We'll keep you posted as we continue to work on solving this problem.</p>

''{{date|13|Nov|2024}}''
  
<p>- Some players noticed a reference to 'Hunting Parties' on their profile pages for a few minutes after we applied the update. That text was accidently added to this release. Parties are something we're working on for the near future and is not quite ready yet. We'll have more information as this feature gets closer to release.</p>

==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ====
 +
A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''!
  
<p>We would also like to remind everyone that the boards are meant as a fun and friendly atmosphere. We get swamped with complaints regarding swearing, insulting, etc. We are beginning to crack down on inappropriate behaviour on the boards so please think before you post.</p>

<blockquote>
 
<p>It has come to our attention that some browser scripts/plugins that are designed to integrate MouseHunt player statistics into the discussion board are making undo requests to the game.</p>
 
  
<p>These extra requests happen behind the scenes loading MouseHunt pages to grab the necessary data. The problem is that this extra activity triggers King's Reward codes without the player ever seeing them.</p>
+
So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started!
  
<p>This leads to a few problems where players have an unclaimed reward without ever knowing it and strange errors due to the massive amount of requests all coming from the same address.</p>

<p>We are working on fine-tuning our bot tracking systems as well as working with the developers of these types of scripts so that do not trigger our tracking systems. In the meantime we kindly ask any players who are using any sort of script or plugin that modifies the Facebook discussion boards to add MouseHunt statistics to uninstall them immediately.</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>To make things clear: If you have installed or use anything that modifies the way Facebook discussion boards look or function please uninstall them.</p>
