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!

<p>Hello MH Communitaaaaay,</p>
 
  
<p>The response to our competition was overwhelming and we got way more designs than anticipated. We thought it impossible to just choose 3 designs and after much debate the team here settled on 6 designs. I then pulled rank and added two more I thought had to be included. It is obviously not easy choosing the eventual winners as it meant 8 winners but over 1700 people who lost out.</p>
 
  
<p>In no particular order, the following designs were selected;</p>
+
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!

<p>Hey there, MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
<p>New stuff will be coming your way soon, and so we wanted to share some of the awesome new features that you can expect this month!</p>
 
  
<p>Today, we have a sneak peek at two new areas that will be coming out shortly. Each area will have tons of mice, and lots of new things to do!</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 Lunar New Year event will end on February 11, 2025'''</div></div>
  
<p>First, get your horse and plow and mosey on down to Gnawville, the King's own farming grounds, full of beloved vegetable mice such as the Carrot mouse, Cabbage mouse, the Spud mouse and of course, our old friend Cow, who will frequently get lost and moo for help from your friends page. While hunting in this area, the Hunter's Horn will be replaced by the Harvester Horn, for extra farm-time fun!</p>
+
As of February 11, you will '''no longer be able to collect Dumpling cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles''' at stockpile locations.
  
----
 
  
<p>Some (very) observant MouseHunters might have noticed that our second new area has been visible on the map for a few months now. Just northwest of the Lagoon lies the Albino Plains, an area with very unique properties. This area will be filled with all new mice and traps, and the mysterious new power type: Invisible.</p>
+
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.
  
;Here are some spoiler images!
 
  
<p>Invis-o-trap of DOOOOM:<br />

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

<p>Along with all of the cool new areas we’re adding to MouseHunt, this month will also introduce handy new features such as the Omni-trap tool. If you’re tired of switching between different power types in order to catch mice, this tool is for you. With the Omni-trap, there will be no more need to switch between traps for the correct power type. You can simply combine all of your owned traps into one super powerful trap, and keep hunting! With the Omni-trap tool at your side, you’ll never miss a mouse again!</p>

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!
  
<p>But wait. . . there’s more. This month, we will introduce a new way to create unlimited MouseHunt content while negating any need for the art department! Along with the Omni-trap, we will be releasing another new feature: the random mouse generator. Taking hundreds of individual drawings of mouse parts, the system will be able to generate several thousand new unique mice for you all to explore and capture!</p>

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!
