=== Dr. F. Romage Living Shards ===
 
''{{date|24|March|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>The Town of Digby keeps on expanding by drilling deeper into soil, making room for more of the King's finest scientists. Recent drilling has uncovered a network of underground streams where small glowing crystals have washed up.</p>
 
  
<p>These crystals were soon found to be the Living Shards, used by Dr. F. Romage in his experiments to bring the Monster mice to life. After some careful experimentation a second, more cheesy use has been uncovered.</p>
+
NEWSPOST OPENING LINE(S)
  
<p>Adding Radioactive Sludge and Living Shards to Curds and Whey causes an instant reaction, which results in a lime-scented, green glowing cheese that quickly earned the name Limelight Cheese. The small shards vibrate within the curd, making high-pitched noises that draws out mice that dwell deep below the soil at Digby.</p>
+
<blockquote>
 
 
<p>To accommodate hunters in making Limelight Cheese the Town of Digby has opened a general store selling both Curds and Whey, as well as Living Shards. The shards are quite rare and hard to find, making them a tad on the expensive side. If you're gold coffers are running low, don't fret! Hunting Monster mice is a sure-way to find a shard or two for free!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Hunting the subterranean mice of Digby should not be taken lightly! What dwells deep below can be a frightening sight. The subtle vibration of Limelight Cheese can attract the massive Big Bad Burroughs mouse, whose multiple jaws yield thousands of teeth just waiting to snack on some cheese.</p>
 
  
<p>Living Shards were not the only discovery made deep below Digby... An extremely rare element named Ohnoesium (which coincidentally makes a nice base for many traps) was found in the tunnels left by Big Bad Burroughs mice. If you're looking to acquire this base, then hunt for the Big Bad Burroughs mouse.</p>

<p>With this, the final update of March has come - the last piece of the Nannybot upgrade, originally designed by Digby! Smashing a standard Nannybot and crafting it together with a Time Out Upgrade, Chrome Nanite Coating and Superstar Nanny Glasses creates a medium-strength shadow trap to calm the shenanigans of rambunctious zombies.</p>

<p>If you're looking to get your hands on the three upgrade pieces but are not sure you want to find them on your own, the good people at Digby have your needs in mind! Digby has been seen across the Kingdom setting traps and stockpiling loot. They plan on selling the three upgrade pieces at the Harbour within a few days.</p>

<p>If you have ever been to our online store at Cafe Press you would have probably noticed out T-shirt designs are way out of date.

The contest will be run and managed on the 99designs site, you have just shy of 7 days to get your entries in.</p>

=== A Curious Little Chemist Brews Up Trouble! ===
 
''{{date|16|March|2010}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
<p>It all started when a Terrible Twos mouse invited a friend to the party -- A curious little chemist mouse who began to experiment with Gnarled Cheese while exploring The Great Gnarled Tree. A dash of this and a hint of that later the novice scientist created a new potion! If you manage to catch a Curious Chemist mouse they're sure to be carrying one of these new potions, but be warned that the little chemists are a bit picky about their cheese and seem to only enjoy the crisp flavour of Gnarled Cheese.</p>
 
  
<p>When used with brie or SUPER|brie+ (along with a little bit of the magic contained within every Gnawnian gold coin) these new potions make Wicked Gnarly Cheese. Woah, totally awesome dude! Wicked Gnarly Cheese is a much more pungent version of Gnarled Cheese and seems to attract the very strongest mice of the Lagoon, including a new powerful mouse that had long been hiding in caverns located below the water's surface.</p>
+
'''The King's Vault is Open!'''
  
<p>The powerful mouse known as a Silth mouse is indeed a worthy adversary for any hunter. The intimidating stare of its beady red eyes can cripple your courage, setting you back points. While its menacing claws like to reach into your pack and steal a few shiny gold coins. Hunting this new adversary is for the most experienced of hunters -- it will test your patience along with your resource collecting skills. It will be a challenging hunt, but is sure to come with bragging rights!</p>
+
Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies!
  
<p>If you're looking for a more tangible reward than bragging rights, rest assured the King is offering a handsome reward of more than 15,000 gold coins per capture. The Silth mouse also seems to enjoy hoarding the gold it steals from hunters, you may also be lucky enough to collect a gold satchel upon catching this watery beast.</p>
 
  
<p>The Terrible Twos mouse has brought the party to Whisker Woods and in the process somehow surrendered a piece of Digby technology to the Silth mouse! If you catch a Silth this month you'll find yourself in possession of Chrome Nanite Coating which is sure to come in handy if you're looking to upgrade your Nannybot at the end of March. If you don't catch a Silth the Chrome Nanite will be available from the Harbour general store for a limited time in the future.</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!
  
<p>Meanwhile, the always enthusiastic Larry has updated his competition scoreboard to include the Silth. You can check out his scoreboard [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/?bdaystats here], or by clicking of the links circulating in the news ticker at the top of every page.</p>
+
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.
  
;The King Looks towards the Future:
+
<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>The King is certain that the depths of the Lagoon are a mysterious place where there is more to find. Hunters currently lack the ability to plunge beneath its surface to explore the strange caverns below, but the King has the scientists of Digby to work on the problem! Although not too optimistic about this exploration, the King expects a breakthrough to be made over the course of the next few months that may reveal hunting grounds below, or beyond the Lagoon. When and if that time comes, the King may need you hunters to hunt the Silth to aid the efforts of Digby's explorations. If you're the type of hunter that likes to always be prepared (even months in advance), perhaps save a small stash of Wicked Gnarled.... just incase.</p>
+
==== 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<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+!
  
{| style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center; padding:10px; background-color:#dddddd; border:1px solid #999999; width:100%;"
+
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!
| valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>'''Larry's Quick-Reference Guide to the Silth Mouse'''</p>
 
<p>Larry is still getting his feet with in the Lagoon -- Check back here in a day or two if you're looking for a point-form guide to what's new. In the meantime, get out there on the discussion boards, talk with your fellow hunters and good luck!</p></div>

=== The Dojo Sensei Awakens! ===
 
''{{date|9|March|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>It is now week two of the MouseHunt Birthday Celebration!</p>
 
  
<p>For the remaining weeks in March we'll be releasing new, challenging mice in existing areas. These mice are meant to be the most powerful mice of their respective regions and act as an accomplishment for hunters looking to prove themselves to be the best of the best!</p>
+
==== 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.
  
<p>This week the [[Terrible Twos]] mouse has brought the party to Furoma where their antics and noise have awoken an ancient mouse of great power. The party is really heating up -- Keep an eye open for an increased population of Terrible Twos, Present, Birthday and Rockstar mice in both Gnawnia and Furoma.</p>
+
Capturing a Mobster Mouse will reward you with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ in quantities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, or even 1,000!
  
<p>The [[Dojo Sensei]] can be found roaming the [[Pinnacle Chamber]]. Be warned -- Hunting the Dojo Sensei is not for the faint of heart! Their swift attacks can come with a penalty of crippled courage, setting back a hunter's points, but their capture is the most lucrative of the Furoma region. The Dojo Sensei mice drop a variety of loot including a set of blueprints for a new physical weapon made of platinum and onyx which is more powerful than the Digby Drillbot!</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!
  
<p>Attracting a powerful adversary such as the Dojo Sensei is a major part of the challenge of capturing one. Their preference in bait is a strange form of [[Onyx Gorgonzola|Onyx Marbled Gorgonzola]] (O.M.G.) made by fusing together Curds and Whey with Onyx Stones using Ionized Salt.</p>
 
  
<p>It seems the mysteries of Furoma Onyx are slowly being revealed... who knows what other uses it may have!</p>
+
==== 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.
  
<p>'''Meanwhile, deep in the labs of Digby...'''</p>
+
<center>''The codex allows you a chance to upgrade your existing Regal Charm into the next tiered version!''</center>
  
<p>Upon finishing the design of the [[Nannybot]], the good people at Digby decided she could use a new chassis, one with a little more style and "bling". Unfortunately, the three vital components needed to upgrade the Nannybot were scattered all over the Kingdom by mischievous Terrible Twos mice. This week the first piece of the upgrade appears to have surfaced -- a "Timeout Upgrade" clock. Somehow this upgrade piece has gotten into the hands of the Dojo Sensei!</p>
+
<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 Regal Codex will be a permanent addition to the King's Cart.'''<br>
 +
This means that you can obtain it even after the King's Giveaway ends!
 +
</div></div>
  
<p>If you should happen to catch a Dojo Sensei this month then you may be lucky enough to loot a Timeout Upgrade. Digby has also sent their finest hunters to Furoma to collect a stock of parts which they plan to sell at the Harbour General store later this month (when they have collected enough to stock the shelves). These parts don't come cheap, so if you're up for a challenge and want to save a few gold coins, try testing your hunting vigor and catch a Dojo Sensei to obtain a Timeout Upgrade for free!</p>
 
  
----
+
==== King's Cart Updates ====
  
<p>'''Valentines from a Glitchpaw'''</p>
+
The following items have been added to the King's Cart:
  
<p>The Nannybot seemed to attract a few Glitchpaw mice to the party causing a few hunters to be given a "Valentine from the Devs" upon constructing their Nannybots. Unfortunately, these valentines were printed on a strange, extremely bio-degradable paper and have now crumbled to dust. If you had a valentine courtesy of a Glitchpaw, it has been removed from your inventory. Don't worry though, we devs still love you! <3</p>

==== Rainbow Treasure Maps ====
| valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>'''This week's release in a nutshell:'''</p>
 
<p>- The party is heating up -- more Terrible Twos, Present, Birthday and Rockstar mice are out in Gnawnia and Furoma</p>
 
<p>- The powerful Dojo Sensei mouse released in Furoma carrying a variety of loot including a new set of blueprints</p>
 
<p>- A new cheese made from Onyx, Ionized Salt and Curds and Whey</p>
 
<p>- The arrival of the Dojo Sensei seems to have activated the random power of Furoma Onyx... a curious hunter may just find another use for the precious stone</p>
 
<p>- Digby reveals their upgrade for the Nannybot which requires three parts. The first part, a "Timeout Upgrade", is currently available as loot from the Dojo Sensei until the end of this month. This item will also be for sale at the Harbour General store (for a decent amount of coin) later in the month</p></div>

+
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!
  
<p>'''SUPER|brie+ Giveaway Competition!'''</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>The Dojo Sensei is the first of three new, very powerful mice that will be released this month. These mice pose a serious threat to the Kingdom and has the King worried! To encourage his brave hunters, the King is giving away SUPER|brie+ to whomever catches the most of these mice!</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.
  
{| style="margin:0 auto; padding:10px; background-color:#dddddd; border:1px solid #999999; width:100%;"
 
| valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>The King will be giving away SUPER|brie+ in the following amounts:</p>
 
<p>'''1st Place: $50 of SUPER|brie+ (3,500 pieces)'''</p>
 
<p>'''2nd Place: $25 of SUPER|brie+ (1,600 pieces)'''</p>
 
<p>'''3rd Place: $10 of SUPER|brie+ (500 pieces)'''</p></div>
 
|}
 
  
<p>These amounts will be given out not just to hunters who catch the most Dojo Sensei mice, but also to hunters who catch the most of two more new mice that will be released later this month. That's '''nine winners in total!'''</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>The giveaway will end on the last day of March. We'll give more details regarding an exact time as the deadline approaches.</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.
  
----
+
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>That's it for this week, MouseHunters! Have fun putting those extra Onyx stones to use and good luck against the Dojo Sensei!</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.
  
<p>- A new special plush has been introduced into the game to commemorate MouseHunts second birthday!</p>
+
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>Hurry up and grab these new, remarkable, MUST HAVE items while supplies last!</p>
 
 
<p>Happy hunting!</p>

=== Happy Birthday MouseHunt! ===
 
''{{date|7|March|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Can you believe we released MouseHunt 2 years ago.</p>
 
 
<p>It has been such a journey for us here at HitGrab. We opened the game to all of facebook 2 years ago with what people thought was a silly idea. The first year was such an incredible journey, our team slept very little as we dealt with all the challenges that came with keeping the servers running and adding content. </p>
 
 
<p>2 years later we have almost 500 000 people joining us every month with around 175 000 coming back each day. We are blessed to be doing this still and I am blown away by how fast time flies when you are having fun. We here at HitGrab have been lucky in that you, our audience has actively engaged with us and helped us build this game. </p>
 
 
<p>We are extremely grateful for your support and will do our best to build the best game and community on facebook. Thanks for playing and being part of our journey.</p>
 
 
<p>Happy Birthday MouseHunt!</p>

=== Feedback Friday Recap ===
 
''{{date|5|March|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Happy Birthday, MouseHunters!</p>
 
 
<p>It was a blast hanging out with hunters in a party-like atmosphere this week during Feedback Friday! We shared some digital cake, did some dancing and answered questions! Many hunters requested a quick summary like the one we posted last week. I'll break down the details below.</p>
 
 
<p>'''What's coming this month:'''</p>
 
 
<p>Gifts! The King is expecting a shipment of gifts and cake to arrive soon for the birthday party! The Terrible Twos mice are sure to have a love for presents and cake... I have a feeling the King may require his hunters to keep Terrible Twos mice under control.</p>
 
 
<p>There have been a few rare reports of Terrible Twos mice lurking around the Training Grounds. Larry has knowledge of a very old mouse, rumored to be more powerful than the Master of the Dojo, and is scared that the antics of the Terrible Twos mouse may awaken it. If you're in the Furoma region, have your traps ready!</p>
 
 
<p>If the Terrible Twos mouse continues to travel, who knows what powerful, sleeping mice he may awaken... Hope you're up for a challenge, hunters! These new mice will be permanent additions to the game, so if you're not quite ready to take them on they'll still be around when you are!</p>
 
 
<p>'''Player frustrations about releases:'''</p>
 
 
<p>Feedback Friday opened with Bryan addressing some points of frustration regarding the lack of new releases to expand the plot of the game. As the game has continued to grow for two years, adding new mouse areas and other content, and as more and more players joined, the hunt has become more cumbersome. It was clear that some major architecture changes needed to happen to accommodate the game’s growth. For the past six months, we have been focused on "Longtail" - a major rewrite of the entire game, from scratch. As you can imagine, rebuilding something that has been developed for two years, from scratch, is a very large project.</p>
 
 
<p>During the development of Longtail, adding content and features to the existing game became a challenge -- new content and features now needed to be added to two versions of the game, doubling the work. This is how much of the content and story being prepared came to be dependent on the release of Longtail.</p>
 
 
<p>We're excited to release Longtail and get back to expanding the story line of MouseHunt and adding new areas, mice, traps, etc. Once Longtail is out, we are planning to have a regularly scheduled day for content updates. The number of veteran players in the game has grown in the past six months, and we absolutely plan on releasing more areas for Knights, Barons, Counts, etc.</p>
 
 
<p>'''Longtail:'''</p>
 
 
<p>Longtail is getting closer and closer to being complete and we're getting very excited! Many of our plans for new mice, areas, traps, etc. are dependent on the release of Longtail. We asked hunters what sort of info they would like to see in progress updates. The consensus seemed to be mechanics information but no plot information.</p>
 
 
<p>We realise that we have not discussed too many details about the progress of Longtail, which has no doubt bred frustrations from players wondering what's happening behind the scenes and why there was a sudden slow down in the frequency of updates. We knew Longtail would be in development for months and wanted to avoid building too much hype too early on and stretch the patience of hunters. Now that we are close to a Longtail release we are more comfortable sharing progress updates and will strive to keep everyone in the loop as we work on Longtail.</p>
 
 
<p>We'll be keeping everyone in the loop about how Longtail is progressing, to hopefully ease frustrations about the lack of new areas recently. We have several new areas and mice (over 50 mice are ready to go!) that we're excited to put out after the release of Longtail.</p>

=== MouseHunt Celebrates its Second Birthday! ===
 
''{{date|2|March|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Greetings, MouseHunters!</p>
 
 
<p>It's that time of year again, when spring is just around the corner, and MouseHunt celebrates another birthday! That's right: the magical world of Gnawnia is celebrating its second birthday, and to celebrate, there will be special content releases, one each week for the next four weeks. The first release will be a birthday event that lasts for a limited time, and the other three releases will stay on as permanent additions to the game. </p>
 
 
<p>This week, the Terrible Twos Mouse is wreaking havoc, trashing the town of Gnawnia and creating mayhem wherever it goes. Upon discovering this threat, the King immediately sent word to Digby, telling them to send a fleet of Nannybots, the only weapon known to be able to subdue a rampaging Terrible Twos Mouse. Unfortunately, a group of mice ambushed the Nannybot shipment on their way to Gnawnia! Rumor has it that Nannybot parts have been seen on various mice in the back alleys of the city.</p>
 
 
<p>Once you have collected all three parts of the Nannybot you may assemble them here: [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/nannybot.php apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/nannybot.php]</p>
 
 
<p>The King's guards managed to push the Terrible Twos Mice out onto the Meadow, but the King needs all the help he can get from skilled hunters to keep the little terrors at bay. The Terrible Twos Mouse is in the Meadow for now, but the guards think that if it can't go back into the city, it may well decide to do some traveling. This could mean serious trouble for the rest of the Kingdom!</p>
 
 
<p>Well, that's all the news for now. Until next time, Happy Hunting!</p>

=== MouseHunt's Birthday Celebration Starts Soon! ===
 
''{{date|1|March|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hey, MouseHunters!</p>
 
 
<p>It has almost been two years since the battle against mice began and we're getting ready to celebrate the occasion!</p>
 
 
<p>MouseHunt turns two years old on March 7th. As the date approaches, there have been a few rumours floating around Gnawnia about a mischievous Terrible Twos mouse that is on the loose, causing trouble across the kingdom! Although the king's guards have not yet seen these little terrors, we'll be sure to inform you the minute they are spotted so that you can help capture them and restore the peace.</p>
 
 
<p>Though the festivities have not officially started, a few of the mice are already in the mood to celebrate. See if you can spot a which mice are dressed up and ready to party.</p>
 
 
<p>The celebration will officially start when the Terrible Twos mice arrive sometime Tuesday, March 2nd (EST). The official time is unknown, but we'll be sure to announce their arrival via the news section.</p>
 
 
<p>Get ready to party MouseHunt! We're turning two years old soon! YEAH!</p>

=== Feedback Friday Recap ===
 
''{{date|26|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>We've received a few inquiries after this week's Feedback Friday, and so, due to popular demand, we're posting a quick text-recap of the video!</p>
 
 
<p>This week's feedback was divided into two segments: "News for Your Face", "Quit Askin' Us!". News for Your Face was some direct answers to current questions floating around the community. Quit Askin' Us was a few of the questions we have been asked week after week. Afterwards we did a quick rapid-fire question-and-answer where hunters asked a variety of questions.</p>
 
 
<p>'''News for Your Face:'''</p>
 
 
<p>Q: How long do we have to open our Tiger Heart Chests?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: The form to open the chests will be available for the next two to three weeks.</p>
 
 
<p>Q: What's up with the new Facebook discussion board layout?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: The layout was recently changed by Facebook and seems to have introduced a couple of bugs (such as lacking the ability to read beyond the first page of a thread). Love or hate the new layout, we hope the discussion boards are functional again soon. We'll be considering off-site forums further after the release of Longtail.
 
</p>
 
 
<p>Q: Some of the times in my journal are not correct.</p>
 
 
:<p>A: Facebook obtains your computer's time zone settings upon login. If your time appears incorrect in-game, all we can suggest is logging out of Facebook, clearing your browser's cookies and logging back into Facebook.</p>
 
 
<p>Q: How is Longtail coming along?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: We've been working hard on Longtail and it has been progressing nicely. We are currently working on implementing tournaments (with a few changes) and migrating over user data. We're planning on some large scale beta testing next week. The storyline of MouseHunt has been somewhat "on pause" while we work on this huge release, making us excited to launch Longtail so we can get back to progressing the story line and creating some new challenges for hunters.</p>
 
 
:<p>If you're wondering what Longtail is, you can read a little more about it here: [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/updatepost.php?upid=328 apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/updatepost.php?upid=328]</p>
 
 
<p>Q: What's planned for MouseHunt's second birthday?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: Our birthday is March 7th! The first week of March we'll be kicking off an event where a mischievous little mouse is wrecking havoc on the Town of Gnawnia. Player's will have to build a special trap to catch the pest and help restore order to the Kingdom. As with any birthday, there's sure to be plenty of tasty cake!</p>
 
 
:<p>In addition to the event for the first week, we're planning on doing three content releases during March -- one each week. These three releases will be permanent additions to the game.</p>
 
 
<p>'''Quit Askin' Us:'''</p>
 
 
<p>Q: What's this I hear about an Onyx Mallet Trap?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: As hinted at in the description of the Costumed Tiger Mouse, there are plans to release an Onyx Mallet Trap. The stats of the trap and origin of the blueprints are not being released ahead of time but look for this new trap to come out sometime during March.</p>
 
 
<p>Q: Will there ever be a new shadow trap?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: A new shadow trap is in the works, but not planned for release in the immediate future.</p>
 
 
<p>Q: When is the iPhone app coming out?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: The iPhone app is still being worked on and is progressing nicely. Look for it after the release of Longtail.</p>
 
 
<p>Q: When's Ronza coming next?</p>
 
 
:<p>A: Ronza is off in far and distant lands taking a much-needed vacation (no doubt spending all the gold she made selling wares in Gnawnia!). She will most likely not be returning anytime soon.</p>

=== Heart of the Tiger Party Ends ===
 
''{{date|22|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>The Heart of the Tiger Party has been going strong for more than two weeks, but the time has come for the the music to turn off and to start cleaning up!</p>
 
 
<p>The magic seal on Tiger Heart chests has now faded and hunters who were able to find both the Heart and Tiger key will now be able to open their chest.</p>
 
 
:'''If you have a chest and two keys, open your chest here:'''
 
:[http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/hotpclaim.php apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/hotpclaim.php]
 
 
<p>The party may be over, but the delicious creations of the Dumpling Chef mouse were so popular that the chef decided to take up permanent residence in Furoma. If you're in still the mood for dumplings head over to the training grounds!</p>
 
 
<p>We hope everyone enjoyed the party! Happy Hunting MouseHunters!</p>

=== Horn Problems Resolved ===
 
''{{date|19|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>We have some good news for the players that were having trouble sounding their horn! Since the pesky, noise-loving Glitchpaw Mice have been tracked down, the unsuspecting hunters that lost their horns should now be able to start hunts normally.</p>
 
 
<p>A few of the Glitchpaw Mice are still on the loose, in various locations across the Kingdom. They are most densely populated in the Gnawnia and Burroughs regions, including the Heart of the Tiger Party. Help end their destructive rampage by tracking them down and catching a few! Despite their nasty behavior, Glitchpaws dislike confrontation-- expect them to slip back into hiding within 24 hours.</p>
 
 
<p>The Heart of the Tiger party is also slowly starting to wind down. The party will end on Monday, so if you're looking to catch some of the unique mice there, head over to the party sooner rather than later.</p>

=== Tiger and Heart Keys ===
 
''{{date|14|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>The Heart of the Tiger Party has reached its peak of excitement as both mice and hunters celebrate the new Lunar New Year while handing out candygrams and valentines at an alarming rate!</p>
 
 
<p>The Year of the Tiger is upon us and it seems to have brought Tiger mice to the party who have managed to find one of the keys to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- a Tiger Key.</p>
 
 
<p>Cupid Mice have been also been diligently searching for a way to open the chest and have found the Heart Key.</p>
 
 
<p>It seems however that the chest is sealed by more than just two locks. The magic of the party has sealed the chest until the Heart of the Tiger Party has come to an end. The stash of SUPER|brie+ that the chest contains is the perfect party favor to remember all the fun times had at the Heart of the Tiger!</p>
 
 
'''Quick Summary:'''
 
 
* Red Envelope mice are dropping a Tiger Heart Chest that contains a stash of the always delicious SUPER|brie+.
 
* Tiger mice have arrived at the Heart of the Tiger Party who are dropping the Tiger Key required to open the Tiger Heart Chest.
 
* Cupid mice are dropping the other key required to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- The Heart Key.
 
* The two keys and a little patience will be required to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- The chest is magically sealed until the end of the Heart of the Tiger Party.
 
 
<p>Good luck hunting down your keys. See you at the party MouseHunters!</p>

=== New Mouse and Tiger Heart Chests ===
 
''{{date|12|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
 
 
<p>Due to all the excitement surrounding the Heart of the Tiger party, a few details have slipped through the cracks, leaving some hunters confused. This week during Feedback Friday, we asked hunters if they would like some clarification about the Heart of the Tiger and the response was an overwhelming yes.</p>
 
 
<p>----------</p>
 
 
<p>Here's a quick run-down of who's at the party (including one new mouse) and what goodies they've brought with them.</p>
 
 
<p>[[Romeo Mouse]]:<br />
 
Always the life of the party, this mouse brought DLU+ heart shaped candies to charm the lady mice with.</p>
 
 
<p>[[Romeno Mouse]]:<br />
 
The other mice seem to keep their distance from the Romeno mouse. Between strike-outs with the ladies, he is also snacking on DHU- heart shaped candies.</p>
 
 
<p>[[Cupid Mouse]]:<br />
 
Cupid mice have made a return and are randomly firing their arrows at partygoers. They leave behind a trail of heart shaped candy with the words "Attraction Bonus" written on them.</p>
 
 
<p>[[Costumed Tiger Mouse]]:<br />
 
This costumed mouse is dancing wildly at the party, celebrating the Lunar New Year. The Costumed Tigers have brought plenty of spare Tiger Masks to help get everyone in a celebratory mood!</p>
 
 
<p>[[Dumpling Chef Mouse]]:<br />
 
What's a party without good food? In addition to catering the party, these mice have brought fun Ox Masks to celebrate with.</p>
 
 
<p>Dressed Up Mice:<br />
 
Many mice from other regions have traveled to the Heart of the Tiger Party to celebrate! The White Mouse, Dwarf Mouse, Archer Mouse, Student of the Cheese Belt and Master of the Cheese Claw have arrived and are dressed up, ready to celebrate! The Master of the Cheese Claw has brought a third mask to complete the set -- The Rabbit Mask.</p>
 
 
<p>[[Red Envelope Mouse]]:<br />
 
This swift little mouse has been pillaging the pockets of MouseHunters to stuff red envelopes full of gold! If you're lucky enough to catch one, they may just drop one of their envelopes. The Red Envelope mice have also managed to get their hands on some special Tiger Heart Chests containing SUPER|brie+. The chests are locked tight, so if you recover one you'll need to find the right set of keys to open them up. Hopefully the keys will turn up sometime before the end of the party.</p>
 
 
<p>All of the candies, gifts and masks are fun collectibles to help everyone celebrate, and make hunting more fun!</p>
 
 
<p>Happy Heart of the Tiger everyone, and we’ll see you on the dance floor!</p>

<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
 
 
 
<p>The mighty pool of water that was once the Festive Comet has recently been acquired by the King and turned into a party venue! If you're the type who can't get enough of a good party then you're in luck. The King (who seems to be blaming Larry) has accidentally double-booked the party venue for both a Valentine's Day party and Lunar New Year party! Twice the party, twice the fun! Party!</p>
 
 
 
<p>So slap on your party hats and head over to the Heart of the Tiger Party where there are a few party mice who are ready to party. The mice at the party have also showed up with a few party favours so keep your party eyes open for some party collectible loot drops. Party!</p>
 
 
 
<p>The Gift Shoppe has reopened with a few fun party collectible items that are sure to spice up the Heart of the Tiger Party. The Gift Shoppe is expecting to keep the party going with a few more items that shall arrive in a few days for the party. Check back from time to time during the party to spot when the new party items are available.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Although the addition of collectible items has been welcomed by most everyone, it has led to a little disorganization within the inventory. With the launch of Longtail we are planning to organize these collectible items better within the inventory as well as give players the ability to showcase their collectibles on their hunter profile. Party!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Let the party begin and watch out for those Romeno mice seen crashing the party... They're an easy catch but do not make good company.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Have you been counting how many times I said the word "party"? Well... in case it wasn't enough... party Party PARTY!!!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Happy Party Hunting! Get out there and hug a tiger!</p>

=== Sneak Peek at MH Longtail ===
 
''{{date|6|February|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
 
 
 
<p>For the past couple of weeks we have been making mention of an update we're working on that we have code-named "Longtail". Longtail will update many of the interfaces within the game, as well as make MouseHunt faster and more robust, allowing us to develop content (mice, areas, traps, etc) quicker and easier.
 
</p>
 
 
 
<p>Enthusiasm seems to be high within the community and so we thought we would share a couple of screenshots of the progress being made on this update to give everyone an idea about what's going on behind the scenes.</p>
 
 
 
<p>First up, the camp page gets an overhaul. Hunters will be able to switch their base, weapon or cheese via controls available under the image of their trap all without needing to reload a page.</p>
 
 
 
{| style="margin:0 auto; padding:10px; background-color:#eee; border:1px solid #999; width:100%;"
 
| valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>Clicking a thumbnail below the trap image brings up the menu to select a new component</p>
 
<p>Component menu paginates, scrolling thumnails left/right</p>
 
<p>Clicking a thumbnail arms that component, without reloading the page</p>
 
[http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t350/techdawg668/trapselector.jpg Trap Selector image]</div><br/>
 
|}
 
 
 
<p>Second is a reorganization to the mice page. As the number of mice grew so did the lack of organization on the mouse page. We have grouped together the mice in a variety of ways to better organize them based on similar weaknesses as well as location.</p>
 
 
 
{| style="margin:0 auto; padding:10px; background-color:#eee; border:1px solid #999; width:100%;"
 
| valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>Mice can be browsed by region or by group.</p>
 
<p>Mice are grouped together by power-type weaknesses</p>
 
<p>Still a work-in-progress is a sortable stats tab to quickly see what mouse you have caught the most of, etc.</p>
 
[http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t350/techdawg668/micepage.jpg Mice Page image]</div><br/>
 
|}
 
 
 
<p>Longtail is still a work in progress but its development is something we want to include the community in. As progress is made on Longtail we'll be reaching out for feedback via Feedback Friday sessions as well as videos on the application page.</p>
 
 
 
<p>That's all for now hunters, happy hunting!</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!

Regal Key Ring Bundle
Regal Charms, SB+ and Prize Keys!
Ultimate Regal Vault Bundle
Ultimate Regals, SB+ and a Vault prize!
Regal Regalia Trap Garment Bundle
Regal Trap Skins and a Vault prize!
500 SUPER|brie+
$1 off! (USD)
1600 SUPER|brie+
$5 off! (USD)
3500 SUPER|brie+
$10 off! (USD)
7500 SUPER|brie+

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. If you purchased 500, 1,600, 3,500, or 7,500 SUPER|brie+ within the last two weeks you'll have an entry added to your Hunter's Journal upon being compensated. If you do not receive a journal entry within 48 hours please get in touch via "Help > Contact Us" (browser) or "Help and Support" (mobile).


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.

-- Franco D'Auria
