SUPER|brie+ (also commonly referred to as Super Brie, SB+ or simply SB) is a "magical" type of cheese. It has the best attraction rate for a variety of mice throughout MouseHunt. It can also be used in conjunction with Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion to create Radioactive Blue cheese.
SUPER|brie+ can be obtained in various ways, including real-money donations to the developers, trading with other hunters, gifts from friends, and by completing sponsored offers. These options are discussed below.

Cheese Shoppe description
This magical cheese has a 99% attraction rate for all Gnawnia mice, regardless of their preferences for other flavours. Crafty mice are unable to steal more than one piece of this cheese when hunting in dangerous environments!
Donations for SUPER|brie+
Direct donations for SUPER|brie+ can be carried out via PayPal or MobillCash through the MouseHunt donation page. For hunters spending real money, the per-piece cost using the options on this page is far better than that on the Offers page (see the Sponsored offers section below). Rates for these are as follow:
- $1.00 (10 Pieces) (PayPal only)
- $3.00 (50 Pieces)
- $10.00 (325 Pieces)
- $25.00 (1250 Pieces) (PayPal only)
Getting SUPER|brie+ in-game
The King occasionally doles out SUPER|Brie+ to his hunters as incentives for the hunt. Hunters can also receive SUPER|brie+ as a reward for successfully catching a Mobster Mouse, Black Widow Mouse or Hollowhead Mouse.
SUPER|brie+ can also be obtained through trade requests (see External links below) or by receiving it as a gift from a friend.
During the weeks leading up to Christmas 2008, SUPER|brie+ was available as loot from Gifts and Magically Wrapped Gifts.
Sponsored offers
SUPER|brie+ can also be obtained by completing a sponsored offer or by purchasing it with real money through the sponsored offers page.
Considerations
Sponsored offers may nominally be free or may require the purchase of goods or services. Offers range from completing surveys to applying for credit cards to purchasing subscriptions and more. All such offers, of course, come at a price regardless of whether they are "free" or not.
Increased commercial email
- Hunters completing sponsored offers, particularly the "free" offers, are almost always required to submit personal information including name, address, phone and email address, often along with other demographic information, to complete the offer. Doing so subjects the hunter to an immediate increase in commercial email and almost certainly results in the user's email address being given, traded or sold to countless direct marketing (i.e. "spam") companies. This is noted within the offer terms, but many users fail to read and/or understand the "fine print".
- At the very least, hunters may be well advised to create a separate email address to be used for such offers and to never use their day-to-day address for such offers as the amount of additional email generated is significant, to say the least.
Time investment
- Hunters completing sponsored offers can expect to spend anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour or more completing the terms of a single "free" offer in return for half a dozen to a few dozen SUPER|brie+. Generally speaking the more time an offer takes or the more personal information is required, the greater the reward. Hunters can do their own cost/benefit analysis to decide if it is worth spending time on a survey and irreversibly revealing personal information to marketing companies instead of making an actual cash donation.
Per-piece cost and other considerations
- Hunters should also be aware that real-money purchases made through the links on the sponsored offers page have a considerably higher per-piece cost compared with using the direct donation options described in the previous section above. In addition, it is likely that far less of the money spent in this manner reaches the MouseHunt developers, which in turn means less money for game development, prizes, promotions, and so on. For these reasons, hunters are advised against using these purchase options unless absolutely necessary.
Having said all of this, the sponsored offers provide an opportunity to get SUPER|brie+ with no out-of-pocket expense and may be a useful alternative for hunters who know what they're getting into.
